No. Nevada cannot apostille FBI background checks or other federal documents because they do not originate under Nevada state authority.
FBI reports and most federal records follow a separate U S Department of State authentication path, and in some cases additional embassy or consular legalization, rather than a Nevada Secretary of State apostille.
The Nevada Secretary of State only authenticates signatures from Nevada public officials and Nevada commissioned notaries. Federal documents like FBI background checks, U S court records, and agency letters are issued under federal jurisdiction, so Nevada has no authority to attach an apostille certificate to them.
For FBI background checks and most federal documents, the usual path is:
Specialized federal apostille and legalization services exist to handle this routing if you prefer not to manage the Washington, D C steps on your own.
Many clients have a mixed set, such as a Nevada power of attorney plus an FBI background check for a visa, adoption, or professional licensing file. In that scenario, each document must go through the authority that issued it, even though they ultimately support the same foreign application.
Lake Mead Mobile Notary cannot submit federal apostille requests directly, but can still help you avoid misrouting and delays when Nevada records and federal records appear in the same packet.
