What this service includes
What we add
We coordinate the US-side federal document and apostille. EPIK accepts a national police check, not a state check, and does not currently accept a digital apostille.
What you provide
Confirm the contract start and the intended intake. Main February, March, April, August, September, and October intakes have different published earliest issue dates. Confirm a late-intake move before ordering a new check.
What you receive
The physical national criminal-record document and agreed apostille handling. EPIK and the receiving authority decide whether the evidence meets their requirements.
