What is an FBI Background Check?

An FBI background check provides a comprehensive report of an individual’s criminal history, if any, as collected by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This report is often required for:

  • UAE employment visa applications.

  • Immigration or residency permits.

  • University enrollment.

  • Business or corporate licensing.

  • Personal or government-related clearances.


However, this document is not valid for official use in the UAE until it has been properly authenticated and legalized through the required U.S. government and UAE Embassy channels.

Why Legalization is Required

Legalization serves as the final step in confirming the authenticity of your FBI background check. UAE authorities need assurance that the document was issued by a legitimate U.S. agency and has not been altered or forged.

Without proper legalization, your document will not be accepted, potentially resulting in delays, application details, or legal complications.
