FBI Apostille Services for Greece

Greek Applications That May Require an Apostilled FBI Report

Wonder which visa and residency pathways call for a clean criminal record that we can help with? Essentially, you’ll need an apostilled FBI background check for Greece in all long-stay visa categories, and here’s where it typically applies:   

Digital Nomad Visa Applications

Professionals applying for a Greece digital nomad visa should expect an FBI report as part of their file, in addition to proof of remote employment and income. Immigration authorities generally want to confirm that you have no records in the U.S. and pose no threat to public security if you reside there for a long time.

Financially Independent Person Visa Applications

The Financially Independent Person (FIP) Visa type opens the door to retirees and individuals with passive income without working locally. Like the digital nomad route, you’ll also need to prove a clean history back home. An apostille adds a layer of verification, assuring Greek authorities of the FBI report’s authenticity. 

Employment and Study Visa Applications

If you’ve landed a job or got admitted to an academic program, a Greece student visa or work/employment-based application often demands this FBI summary. Consulates, employers, universities, and professional institutions treat it as a standardized background check before granting you permission to study or work.

Family Reunification Visa Applications

Joining a relative already living in Greece is a common scenario where you need to order your FBI rap sheet. Applicants with family ties must submit an apostilled criminal record check from their home country to secure a Greece residence permit for family reunification, along with proof of relationship and insurance.

FBI Apostille Services for Applicants Already in Greece

Americans living in Greece may find themselves midway through the application when an FBI report apostille is missing from the file. Requesting an apostille the Greek government can accept doesn’t require a flight home, and here’s how.

Electronic FBI Report Submission From Greece

Request an FBI Identity History Summary on the eDO portal from wherever you’re based. Fill out the online application, have your prints captured, and mail the completed card to the CJIS Division for processing. You’ll receive a digital file via email, and we can begin the apostille process right away. 

Mailing a Paper FBI Report to Our U.S. Office

If you’re holding a paper report, simply mail us that original copy. Since the apostille will be physically attached to the document, your document must bear the FBI watermark and the signature of a division official. Plain photocopies won’t work — we’ll double-check the report on arrival before submitting it to the DOS.

Delivery to Your Address or Representative in Greece

Once the complete apostille comes back to our office, we mail it to you or an authorized representative in Greece via a secure international courier service. Every shipment from us departs with tracking options, so you never have to wonder whether your apostilled FBI document makes it for your Greek deadlines.

Processing Times and Costs for an FBI Apostille for Greece

Processing times at the U.S. Department of State may change, so contact EZ Apostille for the current estimate before setting your submission timeline. We currently offer Standard service only for federal apostilles, with no rush or same-day processing available.

You’ll receive an itemized quote covering our service charge, applicable government fees, and return shipping costs. Domestic and international delivery options are available, including shipping to Greece. Faster courier delivery can reduce transit time once your apostille is issued, but it does not speed up federal processing.
