Fingerprinting in Angola for FBI, RCMP and More: Launching Soon, Taking Requests Now

We are opening Angola in order of request. Send a free appointment request with your town and when you need the visit; we reply within 24 hours, and as soon as we can serve your area we send a confirmed date and a written estimate. Nothing is paid until you accept it.

At your home, office or hotel. The first visits are planned in Luanda, Ilha de Luanda, Talatona and Viana, with Benguela, Lobito, Cabinda, Soyo, Huambo and other towns by arrangement. The directory on this page lists every town and area we will cover, region by region. Not in the list? Send a request with your town and we will plan the nearest possible visit.

Usually, yes. Angola is not part of the Apostille Convention, so a foreign criminal record certificate for an Angolan work or residence visa is generally authenticated in the issuing country and legalized by the Angolan embassy or consulate there, with a certified Portuguese translation. Our full support plan arranges the U.S. or Canadian steps; check the exact list with SME, the consulate or your employer before you order.

No. An Angolan certificado de registo criminal covers Angola only and is issued by the Angolan identification and civil registry services. A police certificate from the United States, Canada or another country you lived in needs your fingerprints on that country's own form, and that is what Globeia takes.

Yes. We take your prints on an FD-258 or FD-1164 card wherever you are in Angola, and the card goes to Globeia in Washington, DC. Our own staff submit it to the FBI, check the result and arrange the U.S. Department of State authentication, then legalization at the Embassy of Angola and any translation your file needs. You can follow every step in Globeia SmartPortal.

Yes, by arrangement. Visits to Benguela, Lobito, Cabinda, Soyo, Huambo, Lubango, Moçâmedes and Malanje are planned around your dates, with any travel fee shown in writing in your estimate before you pay. Crews on rotation can be fingerprinted between shifts in Luanda or at the base.

Yes. We take your prints on the C-216C form, and Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, which holds the RCMP accreditation, submits the file. When the result arrives, we arrange the Global Affairs Canada authentication, then legalization at the Embassy of Angola and any translation your file needs.

Yes. Several people at one address in Angola are fingerprinted in one visit and share one travel fee: families, couples, crews and teams. Tell us in the notes of your request how many people will be fingerprinted, and each person gets their own cards and Letter of Identity Verification.

Our Canadian office Globeia Inc. in Toronto first submits your C-216C fingerprint card to the RCMP. Once the result is issued, we obtain authentication from Global Affairs Canada, followed by final legalization at the Embassy of Angola in Ottawa and certified Portuguese translation.

15 to 30 minutes from the moment the associate arrives. We check your ID against your face, roll each finger on the card and check every impression before we leave, so the card is not rejected later.

The FBI Background Check, the RCMP Criminal Record Check, and police clearances for South Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, India, the Gulf and many other countries. We take your prints on the card or form each authority requires, and confirm the route and price before you pay.

You get full access to the Globeia SmartPortal. The portal provides real-time status tracking for every stage, including courier shipment, office receipt, government submission, embassy legalization, Portuguese translation, and final delivery back to you in Angola.

Yes. Every completed appointment comes with a Letter of Identity Verification. It confirms who was fingerprinted, when and by whom, and carries an encrypted QR code that anyone you send it to can check.
