FBI Criminal Background Check, Apostille and Chinese Translation
This document, officially called an Identity History Summary Check, compiles an individual’s criminal history from the FBI’s database and is required for employment, child adoption, visa applications for certain countries, or personal review.
FBI Criminal Background Check
For employment in China, obtaining a work permit, a Chinese green card, etc., consular authentication of a criminal record check from the United States is required. In the US, this is referred to as a “Criminal Record Check” or “criminal history record,” which means that the relevant department will search the appropriate databases and provide you with a certificate stating that you have no criminal record.
Eligibility: This service is available to US green card holders or US citizens. If you only hold a Chinese passport, the processing time with the FBI will be much slower.
