Our Own Offices in the U.S. and Canada Carry Your File

With Globeia, you're working with one single team worldwide. Our dedicated offices in Australia, the U.S., and Canada mean the same staff taking your prints today are the ones processing your file tomorrow.

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. Who submits my fingerprints to the RCMP, and is that company on the RCMP's list of accredited fingerprinting companies?

    The RCMP accredits no company outside Canada. Globeia Incorporated in Toronto is on the list and submits your C-216C electronically to CCRTIS from inside Canada.

  2. Where is my FBI application mailed from, and who checked the card before it went?

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

  3. Who orders any translation, and does it arrive in the same file?

    Our own offices order any translation the receiving office asks for once the result is back. One file, one reference, one invoice.

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.

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.

RCMP Accreditation & Processing Disclaimer

RCMP accreditation is held exclusively by Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Globeia in Australia 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 Megan. She lives in Brisbane and needs an RCMP Criminal Record Check for her Australian permanent residence application.

Megan is a composite of the clients we see every week. Here is how her clearance goes when she arranges each step herself, and how it goes when Globeia runs the whole file.

On her own

Fingerprints in Brisbane, everything else by post and email

  1. Week 1
    Gets fingerprinted locally.

    A local service takes her prints and hands her the C-216C card to send to Canada herself.

  2. Week 3
    Hunts for an accredited company.

    The RCMP only takes electronic submissions from accredited companies in Canada. She emails three.

  3. Week 6
    Card rejected.

    Two impressions are unreadable. Nobody checked before it was posted. Back to Step 1.

  4. Week 12
    Result finally arrives.

    By post, via Canada, after the date in her ImmiAccount request.

  5. Week 13
    Asks Home Affairs for more time.

    Three providers, three invoices, and a visa file on hold.

With Globeia

One appointment at home in Brisbane, one file, one team

  1. Day 1
    Books online, pays once.

    A Globeia associate comes to her flat in New Farm. Identity verified, prints checked on the spot, Letter of Identity Verification issued.

  2. Week 1
    Card lands at Globeia Incorporated, Toronto.

    Digitised at Globeia Incorporated's Toronto office and submitted to RCMP CCRTIS by Globeia Incorporated. Megan follows it in her SmartPortal.

  3. Week 3
    Result received and checked.

    Sent to her the same day, with the original to follow by courier.

  4. Week 3
    Uploaded to ImmiAccount.

    One invoice, well before the date Home Affairs gave her.
