Did Cancillería Give You a Deadline?

Colombia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs often requests the apostilled FBI check mid-application — and gives you as little as 10 calendar days to produce it. The standard mail-in process takes 5–6 weeks. That math doesn't work.

Colombia FAQ

How long does the whole thing take?

About 2–3 weeks door-to-door once we have your fingerprints: FBI results in roughly 24 hours (weekdays), the State Department's ~10-business-day hand-delivery window for the apostille, then 3–5 days of DHL shipping to Colombia. We'll give you a dated timeline before you pay.

Cancillería gave me 10 days. Can you make it?

We won't lie to you: a strict 10-calendar-day deadline is extremely tight even for us — and anyone who guarantees it isn't being straight with you. What we can do: start the same day, run the fastest legitimate process that exists, and help you request a prórroga (extension) from Cancillería showing your document is already in progress. Message us immediately and we'll map it out honestly.

Do I really need the Spanish translation?

Yes — Colombian authorities require documents in a foreign language to be officially translated (Resolución 5477, Art. 21), and the translation must be done after the apostille. Doing it in the wrong order is one of the most common reasons applications bounce. Our $349 Complete package handles it in the right order.

My FBI check has to be "recent." How recent?

Colombian authorities generally want the document issued within 90 days of your application. That's why starting at the right moment matters — order too early and it can expire, too late and you miss your window. Tell us your visa timeline on WhatsApp and we'll time it with you.

Where do I get fingerprints taken in Colombia?

Fingerprinting services and many notarías in Medellín, Bogotá, Cali and other cities take ink fingerprints on the FBI's FD-258 card routinely — it takes about 30 minutes. When you start, we send you the card template and simple instructions, and we'll help you find a spot near you.

Other companies said they'd just email me a PDF. Isn't that enough?

Sometimes a scan gets you through the online application step — but Colombian authorities can require the physical original, and the official translation must be attached to the real document, not a printout. Most US services either keep your original stateside or charge $100+ extra for international shipping. We include both: a scanned PDF the same day your apostille is ready, and the physical original delivered to your door in Colombia by DHL — on our account, at no extra charge.

How do I pay from Colombia?

By card or online payment link — we'll send it on WhatsApp. No Colombian bank account or US address needed.
