Fingerprinting for every purpose

One Fingerprinting Appointment. Complete Support for Police Clearances.

From Abu Dhabi professionals applying for licences to families completing immigration or adoption requirements, Globeia helps with fingerprint collection for different purposes. We collect your fingerprints wherever you are and follow the format required by the relevant authority. For police clearances, we can also manage the wider process, helping coordinate the steps between the UAE and the issuing country through one organised file and one dedicated team.

Option A · Fingerprints only

We Collect Your Prints. You Coordinate the Clearance Process.

We collect your fingerprints on the required card, verify your identity, and provide a Letter of Identity Verification. After your appointment, you handle the remaining steps between Abu Dhabi and the issuing country.

  • ✕You find a courier and ship the original card abroad
  • ✕You submit to the authority, on its form, in its sequence
  • ✕You arrange the apostille or embassy legalisation in the issuing country and ship again
  • ✕You find a legal translator the receiving authority will accept
  • ✕One miss at any authority sends the file back to Step 1

Fine if your employer or lawyer is handling the rest. Most people are not in that position.

RCMP Accreditation & Processing Disclaimer

RCMP accreditation is held by Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Globeia in Abu Dhabi is not RCMP-accredited, and Globeia is not endorsed by the RCMP, FBI or FINRA. RCMP electronic submission is handled through the appropriate Canadian processing route; claims of direct RCMP digital submission from the UAE should be treated with caution. All Criminal Record Checks, FBI Identity History Summaries and regulatory results are issued by the respective authority, not Globeia.

One clearance, two ways to get it

Meet Tariq. He lives in Abu Dhabi and needs an FBI Police Clearance for a teaching post that ADEK must approve.

Tariq is a composite of the clients we meet every week. Here is how his clearance proceeds when he arranges the fingerprints and manages the rest himself, and how it proceeds when Globeia handles the complete file.

On his own

An Abu Dhabi print shop, then a broken chain

  1. Week 1
    Prints near the Corniche.

    A small shop takes his fingerprints on an FD-258 and returns the card to Tariq to post himself.

  2. Week 6
    The card comes back rejected.

    Several prints are too faint to classify, so he finds another fingerprinting service in Al Khalidiyah and posts the card again.

  3. Week 13
    Result, but no stamps.

    Without State Department authentication, the UAE Embassy cannot legalise it, so the original must go back to the U.S.

  4. Week 19
    The wrong translator.

    A general translator prepares the Arabic version, but the school's PRO requires a legal translator.

  5. Week 24
    Start date pushed back.

    Two sets of fingerprints, three couriers, and a teaching start delayed by a full term.

With Globeia

One visit at his Abu Dhabi villa, nothing posted twice

  1. Day 1
    A visit on Saadiyat.

    Passport and Emirates ID verified, FD-258 completed, and every impression inspected at his dining table.

  2. Week 1
    The card lands in Washington, DC.

    Our team there submits it to the FBI and opens his file in Globeia SmartPortal.

  3. Week 4
    Result read, then authenticated.

    We review the result, then request authentication from the U.S. Department of State.

  4. Week 5
    Legalised at the UAE Embassy.

    The UAE Embassy in Washington then legalises it, and the legal Arabic translation is arranged straight after.

  5. Week 7
    Ready for MOFA and ADEK.

    A single invoice. A legalised and translated FBI Police Clearance, ready for MOFA attestation and his school's ADEK file.

Verified identity

Every Completed Appointment Comes With a Letter of Identity Verification

We check your face and your ID before we take a single print. Because the appointment happens at your address rather than in an office, the letter matters even more: it lets any authority confirm who was fingerprinted, by whom, and where and when it happened.

  • FaceId Verified

    Confirms that your identity was verified before your fingerprints were collected by a trained Globeia Fingerprinting Officer.

  • Fingerprints Professionally Collected

    Confirms that your fingerprints were captured following Globeia's fingerprinting and identity verification procedures.

  • Unique Encrypted QR Code

    Every letter carries a unique encrypted QR code for secure verification of the document.

  • Built for Verification

    The letter provides an additional layer of transparency for organisations reviewing your fingerprinting documentation, including employers, licensing authorities and other authorised recipients.

✓Identity Verified✓Encrypted QR Code✓Every Appointment

    “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Service – Fast, Reliable, and Highly Recommended! I used Globeia to obtain my Canadian background check for a U.S. visa, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their service. Even though I’m currently living outside Canada , I received my background check results in just 9 days much faster than I expected! Thank you, Globeia, for a smooth and successful experience!”

    “I used Globeia for RCMP, aposilled, translation services to send to Portugal. They were helpful, fast and kept me updated with each process. The fee they charge might be a more expensive than alternative options but you get the service and quality you pay for. Very happy with the speed as well in getting the documents certified. it came sooner than expected.”

Document Authentication and Legalisation from the U.S., Canada and beyond

  • U.S. documents

    Our office is in Washington, DC, the capital, so federal apostilles and embassy legalisations are handled in person. State-issued documents are routed to the right Secretary of State.

  • Canadian documents

    Globeia Incorporated obtains apostilles from Global Affairs Canada or the competent provincial authority, and authentication and legalisation where an apostille does not apply.

  • Documents from other countries

    We also arrange apostilles from other countries through our partner network. Tell us the country and the document, and we will confirm the route, timing and price.
