I have my FBI background check that was returned on 1/24/11. How long is it valid before I need to replace it.

I am headed for Thailand.
I had a back-up but just found out that the local police department messed up the prints.

Thanks,

I think I will resend the second one just in case. I can have someone forward it to me in Thailand. I am not sure how long it will take me to find a job.

I don't know. The school did the paperwork for me and they did not ask for a CBC. I provided it because I had it. Immigration was mainly interested in seeing an original degree. They did not want a certified copy or an apostille. I hope this helps but it may be more confusing.

An Apostille is only required if it is asked for because they want you to send a COPY of your degree.

An apostille in itself does not guarantee the authenticity of a degree............merely that the copy is a true one of the original document.

British Public Notaries are, however, required by law to check the authenticity of the degree before issuing a seal (or stamp)on the degree, for the FCO to issue the Apostille certificate.
