ExpatPapers

Partners

Your client needs one document. We only do that document.

You already hold the relationship. Somewhere in your process a client needs an FBI background check with a federal apostille, and the step falls off the end of what you offer. We pick it up there and hand it back finished.

No fee. No minimum. No contract. Nothing to integrate. Send one client and judge us on that.

Two ways. Pick either.

Both land at the same net to us. That is deliberate, so the choice is about how you want to work, not about squeezing a better number out of us.

Commission is ten percent of the $299 base fee. It is not paid on delivery, extra copies or translation, because those are close to cost and a percentage of them would come out of money we do not have.

How we know the client came from you

Three ways, and they stack. One is not enough, because people read on a phone and order on a laptop.

Your link. You get a partner link. Anyone who clicks it carries a cookie for 30 days, on every page, not just the one they landed on.

What they type. The order form asks who told them about us. We match the answer to your name, and we keep it even when it does not match, so a partner we have not signed up yet still shows up.

By hand. If both miss, tell us and we attribute the order. The rate and the amount freeze onto the order when it is placed, so nothing changes later.

What your client actually gets

Their FBI Identity History Summary apostilled by the U.S. Department of State, hand carried in Washington rather than posted. About three weeks. $299 with the $20 government fee and tracked US return shipping inside the price. A scan on the day it is collected.

Before any of that, we check their dates against the consulate holding their case. If the timing does not work we tell them, and we do not take their money. That check costs nothing and it happens on every order.

We do state documents too

An adoption dossier or a visa file is rarely one piece of paper. The FBI check is federal and goes to Washington. Birth certificates, marriage certificates and diplomas are state documents and go to the state that issued them. We handle both.

  • FBI background check, federal apostille — $299
  • Birth certificate, marriage certificate or diploma — $149 each
  • Extra apostilled copy of the FBI report — $149
  • Sworn translation for Spain and Italy — from $89

What we will not do

  • We will not obtain the FBI report. Federal rules release it only to the applicant
  • We will not promise a same-day federal apostille. There is no such thing
  • We will not tell your client a requirement we have not read on the consulate's own page

That last one is the whole reason we exist. Ten things this industry gets wrong →

Ask for a partner link

Tell us roughly how many clients a month hit this step. That is the only thing we need to know to set you up.

Questions

What does it cost to become a partner?

Nothing. There is no fee, no minimum, no contract to sign and nothing to integrate. Send one client and see what happens.

How much do I earn?

Ten percent of the $299 base fee, so $30 per order, paid monthly. Or buy at the wholesale price of $269 from ten orders a month and set your own retail price. Both land at the same net to us, on purpose.

Why is commission paid on the base fee and not the order total?

Because delivery, extra copies and translation are close to cost. A percentage of those would be paid out of money that does not exist. We would rather tell you that than quote a bigger number we cannot honour.

How do you know the client came from me?

Three ways, and they stack. A partner link sets a cookie for 30 days. The order form asks who told them about us, and matches what they type. And we can attribute an order by hand from the console. People read on a phone and order on a laptop, so a link alone is not enough.

When do I get paid?

Monthly, after the order is delivered. We do not pay a commission on an order that has not completed, because a refund would mean asking for it back.

Do you do state apostilles too, or only the FBI check?

Both. The FBI check is federal and goes to the U.S. Department of State in Washington. Birth certificates, marriage certificates and diplomas are state documents and go to the state that issued them. We handle both, at $149 per state document.

What will you not do?

We will not obtain the FBI report. Federal rules release an Identity History Summary only to the applicant. We will not promise a same-day federal apostille, because none exists. And we will not tell your client a requirement we have not read on the consulate’s own page.
