Authorization of State Background Check Permission

Ceiba is committed to reducing the costs associated with the visa application process by handling certain steps on students’ behalf and providing assistance with the remaining requirements to make the process as simple and straightforward as possible. The following applies specifically to the required state background check and state apostille: For current UW–Madison students residing in Wisconsin, Ceiba can request and apostille the Wisconsin state background check on the student’s behalf. Wisconsin state background checks are based on information available through public records but a certified copy needs to be requested through the appropriate state office. By selecting this option, I authorize Ceiba to use my full name, gender, and date of birth to request, receive, handle, and submit my Wisconsin state background check for apostille certification. For any questions on the process, please reach out to the Programs Administrator Geri Ikelheimer at gikelheimer@ceiba.org.
