How Globeia Amsterdam Fingerprinting Works

The Process

Step 1

Step 1: Book Your Appointment Online

Select your preferred date and time using Globeia’s SmartForm. The form guides you through choosing your fingerprinting type (FBI, RCMP, or other international), required documents, including a valid ID, and any other necessary supporting documents. Before your appointment is finalized, SmartPortal performs a secure Face ID verification process to confirm your identity digitally.

Step 2

Step 2: Prepare Your Documents

You need two government-issued photo ID, proof of address, and any specific fingerprint cards required. Globeia provides C-216C for RCMP applications and FD-258/FD-1164 cards for FBI, or other country-relevant equivalent forms.

Step 3

Step 3: Our Globeia Associate Meets You

A trained Globeia associate attends at your home, office, or a chosen location in Amsterdam, or you can come into the office. Ink-and-roll fingerprints are captured on the card required by your destination authority, checked against the standard for that authority, and re-rolled at the appointment if any impression does not meet the standard. The associate signs and dates the card as the official taking the prints, with the office name and address printed as required by the receiving authority.

Step 4

Step 4: Routing for Submission

If you have chosen a fingerprint-only service, your sealed card is handed back to you with a Globeia Letter of Identity Verification confirming the appointment, ready for you to submit directly to the receiving authority.

If you have chosen the coordinated workflow, your card is mailed to Globeia's Canada office (for RCMP) or USA office (for FBI).

Step 5

Step 5: Results from the Authority

Results are issued and delivered by the receiving authority. RCMP Criminal Record Check processing ranges from 3 to 120 days as determined by the RCMP, calculated from the date fingerprints are received and accepted. Mailing time is additional.

FBI Identity History Summary Check timelines are set by the FBI and depend on the applicant category. Usually 72 hours for U.S. citizens and 2-3 weeks for non U.S. citizens.
