NALCAP Document Timeline

Plan ahead: FBI background checks can take 2-4 weeks.

The FBI background check is the slowest step. After receiving it, you must get it apostilled by the U.S. Department of State (additional 2-4 weeks). Only then can it be sworn-translated. Start early to avoid missing your visa appointment or program start date in October.

NALCAP Translation Tips for Auxiliares

  • Order your FBI check early. Submit your fingerprints via an FBI-approved channeler as soon as your NALCAP application is accepted.
  • Apostille as soon as you receive the FBI check. Use the U.S. Department of State apostille service and select expedited processing if available.
  • Scan your apostilled documents in color. All stamps, seals, and signatures must be clearly visible for the sworn translation.
  • Confirm consulate-specific requirements. Requirements vary by Spanish consulate (e.g., LA vs. Houston vs. DC). Check with your consulate.
