Premium Background Check Solutions for Americans & Canadians in Portugal

Yes – both are included as part of our complete package. Once your background check is authenticated by the Department of State or Global Affairs Canada, we arrange for the apostille to be applied, confirming its legal validity for use in Portugal. We then commission a certified translation of your document into Portuguese, meeting the exact standards required by Portuguese authorities. Both steps are managed by our team on your behalf, with no additional coordination required from you.

US background checks are generally completed and returned in 10–12 days; dependent on fingerprint processing and government schedules. Canadian checks may require up to 6 weeks, dependent on fingerprint processing and government schedules.

No. Everything is completed in our local office using secure, approved digital methods.

Our dual service ensures your documents are accepted without delay or complication, saving you time and uncertainty.

Our service is designed to save you both time and money. By completing your digital fingerprinting in Portugal, you avoid international travel expenses, accommodation costs, and time off work. The overall process is both faster and more cost-effective than arranging checks during a trip abroad.

Once your scan is complete, you simply wait for your FBI or RCMP results by email. When you receive your official background check, forward it to us; we coordinate secure document processing and handle all legalisation and authentication steps on your behalf.

After your background check is authenticated and officially processed in the US or Canada, you will receive a high-quality digital scan by email and the original hard copy will be posted directly to your address in Portugal. This ensures you have both immediate access to your results and official documentation for use with Portuguese authorities.
