 |
|
| i have received my FBI background check. it's in a sealed envelope marked CONFIDENTIAL. it seems like it is this way for a Reason, but is it safe to open? does it have to be sealed, in order to get it apostilled? can i open it and look at it? i shouldn't have a rap sheet, but i am curious what it says/looks like. |

| You can open it.. It is confidential to you only. You will need to open it to get it apostilled anyway. |

| The "seal" that is required is a raised stamp over a sticker�not the envelope seal. Feel free to open it. |

seal? there is no seal. why do people not tell me this BEFORE i do these things? 
my recruiter told me to use a channeler but never mentioned a seal. i used a channeler, and told them i was applying for a SK visa, so why didn't they know, either? |

apparent loophole, maybe???:
i write a letter attesting to the validity of the background check and get that notarized and then apostilled?  |

You might be able to swing it, but it's really up to chance. I'd send off for another, if I were you, but that's me. You might get lucky.
You're supposed to have the FBI affix its seal and have a signature of an official, as well, attesting that it is authentic. Then you get it apostilled. Sorry. |

essentially, i paid more just to get screwed over. |
