Getting an FBI background check from Colombia is stressful on your own. Fingerprinting centers are hard to find, mailing documents to the U.S. takes weeks, and once you finally get a report, you still have to figure out apostille and translation for Migración or legal procedures.
At OnCallColombia, we handle everything from start to finish—mobile fingerprinting, secure FBI submission, U.S. apostille, and certified Spanish translation—so your documents are ready to use in Colombia, without you leaving your apartment.
If you’re applying for a visa, getting married, or requesting residency in Colombia, you’ll likely need a federal FBI background check from the United States.
At OnCallColombia, we make it easy, fast, and 100% legal.

Immigration lawyers, visa specialists, and even other service providers insist an FBI background check takes 25 days or more when you’re in Colombia.
And that’s true—if you’re using the same outdated process everyone else uses. Ink cards are mailed, queued for weeks, and only after that do apostille and translation begin.
We’ve built a private, proprietary channeling service that skips the bottlenecks. We collect your fingerprints in person, courier them directly to our U.S.-based processing team, and submit them electronically to the FBI within hours of receipt.
The result: a legitimate, federally issued FBI background check delivered to your inbox in as little as 24–48 hours—fully valid for visa and legal use in Colombia.
Make your secure payment online to confirm your booking. Then choose a convenient time and location—we’ll come to your home, hotel, or office anywhere in Colombia.
Our specialist captures your fingerprints on-site.
From there, we handle (if elected):
- FBI submission via an authorized channeler
- Apostille processing in Washington, D.C.
- Certified Spanish translation
Your FBI report, apostille, and translation are delivered securely via PDF to your email—ready for use with Migración, visa applications, or legal procedures in Colombia.
Most Colombian visa and residency applications require both. The FBI report alone is rarely accepted by Migración or the Cancillería. You can start with FBI-only service ($175), but you’ll likely need to pay for apostille and certified translation later—adding weeks to your process.
No. We send a trained specialist to your home, hotel, or office anywhere in Colombia to capture your fingerprints. Everything else is handled remotely and delivered digitally.
- FBI-only ($175): 10–15 business days for your FBI report.
- Full Service ($400): 10–15 business days for the FBI report + additional 10–20+ business days for apostille processing in Washington, D.C. + 2–3 business days for certified Spanish translation. (Estimated total: 22–36 business days).
- VIP Service ($550): Your FBI report is ready in 24–48 hours via our priority channeler. Apostille and translation are expedited where possible, but final delivery depends on U.S. Department of State timelines. (Estimated total: 10–15 business days.)
⚠️ Apostille processing times are set by the U.S. government and cannot be rushed by any provider.
- On-site fingerprinting in Colombia
- FBI submission via authorized channeler
- U.S. Department of State apostille (required for use in Colombia)
- Certified Spanish translation accepted by Migración and Cancillería
- Secure digital PDF delivery
All government fees are included.
VIP clients skip the long FBI queue. We use a priority channeler to deliver your FBI report within 24–48 hours. The rest of the process (apostille, translation) is managed immediately, shaving 8–10+ business days off the standard full-service timeline.
The Concierge Priority Process add-on upgrades your experience regardless of which package you choose. It includes:
- Same-day or next-day appointment (we come to you immediately)
- Priority handling of your fingerprints and paperwork to get your case submitted first in line
- Direct WhatsApp support with your assigned specialist for real-time updates
This is perfect for clients who cannot wait days for an appointment or want their documents moving faster through our internal processing queue.
All documents are delivered as secure PDFs via email or WhatsApp. If you need physical copies within Colombia, we can arrange local printing and courier delivery for an additional fee.
No. Anyone with a U.S. immigration or residency history can request an FBI background check, including U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and certain visa holders.
Colombia requires U.S. federal documents to have an apostille from the U.S. Department of State to be legally valid. Without it, Migración and other agencies may reject your FBI report for visa or residency purposes.
The U.S. Department of State manually processes all apostille requests. While we expedite every step we control, no private company can override federal timelines.
We’ll send a secure online payment link after you select your package. We accept all major credit cards including Visa and Mastercard. Contact us for crypto, PayPal, Zelle, or bank transfer options.
Yes, but be aware that starting FBI-only often delays your visa process. If you add apostille and translation later, total processing time will increase. Most clients doing this for visas or residency choose the full-service package from day one to avoid multiple waits.
We rarely see rejections, but if it happens, we’ll reprint you at no extra cost and resubmit your prints immediately.
This is where our proprietary technology solution comes in. We collect your fingerprints in person and courier them to our U.S.-based FBI channeling service for immediate electronic processing—no mailing delays.
Yes — there are no hidden fees. With the VIP package, you'll receive everything required to submit your FBI background check for your visa application, including:
- Mobile fingerprinting (we come to you- currently only in Medellín)
- Electronic submission to the FBI
- 24–48 hour processing for your report
- Apostille issued by the U.S. Department of State
- Certified translation into Spanish
We handle the entire process end-to-end, so you can submit your visa application with confidence — no extra steps or surprise charges.
