The route to Cayman Islands
A FBI Background Check is issued by Federal Bureau of Investigation, a federal authority, so it is authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — never by a state office. For Cayman Islands, that apostille is the finish line.
People most often send documents to Cayman Islands for banking, company formation, residency. Receiving offices set their own requirements, so confirm what yours asks for — we’ll help you read it.
