Status
Launching, taking requests now
Coverage
19 towns and areas, more by arrangement
Accredited
RCMP-accredited Canadian office, FBI-compliant U.S. office

Many people in Armenia need a criminal record check for a visa, a job or a move abroad. Globeia now takes your fingerprints and handles the rest through our own offices in the U.S. and Canada.

You do not deal with any outside company. A trained associate will come to your home, office or hotel in Yerevan, Abovyan, Ashtarak and Vagharshapat first, with Dilijan, Sevan, Gyumri, Vanadzor and the south by arrangement.

  • Launching in Armenia, taking appointment requests now
  • FBI, RCMP and international police clearances, the same service as in our live markets
  • Submission, apostille and certified translation through our own U.S. and Canadian offices

How it works while we launch

Request now, and be among the first visits when we go live.

We are opening Armenia in order of request. Your request costs nothing and commits you to nothing; it tells us where the first visits are needed and secures your place in the first schedule.

  1. 1Step 1
    Send your request.

    Your address, the clearances you need and when you would like the visit. Nothing to pay.

  2. 2Step 2
    We reply within 24 hours.

    As soon as we can serve your area, we send a confirmed date and a written estimate listing the plan, government fees at cost and any travel fee.

  3. 3Step 3
    Confirm, and we come to you.

    Pay only once you are happy with the estimate. Your prints then go to our own offices in the U.S. and Canada, and you follow every step in Globeia SmartPortal.

A real company, with real offices

Your File, Carried by Our Own U.S. and Canadian Offices

We collect your fingerprints at your doorstep in Armenia and hand-deliver your file directly to our offices in Washington, DC and Toronto. Your application stays within our single, continuous network.

Glass-fronted office with people working at desks inside
Our own offices, Globeia Inc. in Washington, DC and Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, submit every FBI and RCMP file.
Three questions to ask any fingerprinting provider

The answers tell you whether your file will be done to the authority's rules, or to nobody's.

  1. Where is my FBI application sent from, and who checks the card before it leaves Armenia?

    Globeia Inc. in Washington, DC submits it to the FBI CJIS Division from inside the United States, after a trained associate in Armenia has reviewed every impression on your FD-258 or FD-1164 card.

  2. Who orders the apostille and the Armenian translation, and in what order?

    Our own offices order the U.S. Department of State apostille or the Global Affairs Canada apostille first, then the certified Armenian translation the Migration and Citizenship Service generally expects, so nothing is done twice. One file, one reference, one invoice.

  3. Who will actually take my fingerprints in Armenia?

    A trained Globeia associate visits your home, office or hotel, first in Yerevan, Arabkir, Nor Nork and Abovyan, checks your face against your government ID and reviews every impression before the card leaves. While we launch, each visit is confirmed in writing, with its date and estimate, before you pay.

A fingerprint card taken without reference to the authority's standards is just ink on paper: the wrong card stock, a missing rolled impression or an empty "taken by" box, and the application comes back weeks later. Our associates are trained on exactly those criteria.

What happens before and during the visit, so there are no surprises

Clients often tell us they want to know exactly what will happen before they book. Here it is, step by step.

Before the visit
  1. 1Confirmation by email with your associate's name, the arrival window and what to prepare: two forms of identification and a table to work at.
  2. 2A reminder the day before, with a direct contact for the associate on the day.
  3. 3Change the time if you need to. We ask only for reasonable notice; the terms are in your confirmation.
During the visit · 15 to 30 minutes per person
  1. 1Arrival at the agreed time. The associate presents Globeia identification.
  2. 2Identity check. Passport or residence card, plus a Face ID match.
  3. 3Fingerprinting on the correct card. Each impression is checked on the spot and retaken if needed, at no extra charge.
  4. 4Your Letter of Identity Verification is issued.
  5. 5Cards couriered to Globeia Inc. or Globeia Incorporated. Tracking appears in your SmartPortal.
One step, or all six

How to tell a one-step fingerprint shop, or an online "all-in-one" website, from a provider that can actually run the whole process

Local shops do one thing well: they take prints, in one city. Online services promise everything and own nothing. Globeia is the only provider with its own offices at both ends of your file.

What you needLocal fingerprint shopOnline "all-in-one" websiteGlobeia

If you only need the fingerprints, we will happily take just the fingerprints, on the right card, with a Letter of Identity Verification. The comparison describes typical providers, not any named company.

The authorities set the clock. You control only when Step 1 happens.

RCMP Accreditation & Processing Disclaimer

RCMP accreditation is held exclusively by Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Globeia in Armenia is not RCMP-accredited, and Globeia is not endorsed by the RCMP, the FBI, FINRA, or any government authority. Fingerprints for the RCMP Criminal Record Check are collected in ink on the official C-216C form and mailed to Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, which submits them to the RCMP. All Criminal Record Checks, FBI Identity History Summaries and regulatory results are issued directly by the respective authority, not Globeia.

One clearance, two ways to get it

Meet Lilit. She lives in Armenia and needs an FBI Background Check for a teaching post in Yerevan.

Lilit is a composite of the clients Globeia serves in its live markets: an Armenian American who moved to Yerevan from Los Angeles. Here is how the clearance goes when she does the fingerprints and manages the rest alone, and how it goes when Globeia runs the whole file.

On her own

Fingerprints in Armenia, everything else by post and email

  1. Week 1
    Gets fingerprinted locally.

    A local police station or shop rolls the FD-258 card, and Lilit posts it to a U.S. vendor she has never spoken to.

  2. Week 4
    Card rejected.

    Two impressions are unreadable. Nobody checked before it shipped. Back to step one.

  3. Week 7
    Result arrives, without the apostille.

    Lilit now has to find someone in the U.S. to obtain the U.S. Department of State apostille and post the original again.

  4. Week 12
    Apostille back. Translation refused.

    The translator she found is not one the Migration and Citizenship Service accepts: the file needs a certified Armenian translation.

  5. Week 15
    Finally files.

    Four providers, four invoices, and months gone.

With Globeia

One visit in Yerevan, one file, one team

  1. Day 1
    Requests a visit, pays once.

    Identity checked at her door in Yerevan, prints reviewed on the spot, Letter of Identity Verification issued.

  2. Week 1
    Card lands at Globeia Washington, DC.

    Submitted to the FBI by our own team. Lilit follows it in Globeia SmartPortal.

  3. Week 3
    Result received and checked.

    The U.S. Department of State apostille requested the same day, no re-posting, no new provider.

  4. Week 6
    Certified Armenian translation done.

    By a translator the Migration and Citizenship Service accepts, ordered after the apostille so nothing is done twice.

  5. Week 7
    Ready-to-file clearance in hand.

    One invoice, one reference, and the file ready for a teaching post in Yerevan.
