Can I get a FBI background check while I am staying in Korea?

Yes, you can. You have to use two expediting services to obtain both the FBI background result and the Apostille on the FBI result. 

1. Print this fingerprint form, and visit a local police station

You need to visit the District Police Station (Main ones). There is a department called 보안과 외사계 (Foreign Affairs Department), and they will observe and help you get your fingerprints completed and sign (stamp) on the paper to make the form official.

 

2. Fill out the Accurate Biometrics Application form

  • Make sure to request the electronic version of the FBI background check result, which will be delivered to your provided email address.

3. We suggest using DHL or FEDEX to deliver the fingerprint cards to the Accurate Biometrics office in the US. (If not, possible, go to your local post office and use the EMS service.) They will then send you an FBI background check result to your email address once they have the background check result.

4. Once you have received an FBI background check result at your email address, you can now apply for getting an apostille with the electronic result.

NOTICE: Be aware that you can only download the result one time!!

5. Please fill out the Monument Visa service application form to get Apostille service!

You can submit electronic copies of an FBI background check for this service, then after they get an apostille stamp on the FBI background check result, they will deliver the result to Seoul (Korea)
