Fingerprinting Services in Melbourne for RCMP, FBI and More with Globeia

Your application may start in Melbourne but travel across borders. Globeia helps connect your local fingerprinting appointment with international requirements for the USA, Canada, and other countries. Our Australian presence, including our Melbourne office on Spencer Street, gives you local access supported by our global teams.

If visiting an office is not convenient, a trained Globeia associate can come to your home, workplace, or preferred location in Melbourne for mobile fingerprinting. We assist with fingerprint collection for FBI, RCMP, and other police clearance applications, with additional support for eligible apostille, authentication, legalisation, and translation needs. Manage your process through one secure Globeia SmartPortal.

Option A · Fingerprints only

We Complete the Fingerprint Step. You Handle Everything After.

Your appointment covers fingerprint collection, identity verification, and the required verification letter. After that, the remaining process is yours to manage between countries, authorities, and document requirements.

  • ✕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 in the issuing country and ship again
  • ✕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 Melbourne 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 Australia 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 Hamish and Sophie. They live in Melbourne and, for new teaching contracts at an international school in Singapore, each need an FBI Background Check and an RCMP Criminal Record Check.

Hamish and Sophie are a composite of the clients we see every week. Here's how their clearance goes when they do the fingerprints and sort out the rest themselves, and how it goes when Globeia runs the whole file.

On their own

Two diaries in Melbourne, two forms, two deadlines

  1. Week 1
    Two sessions, a week apart.

    Hamish gets printed in Carlton. Sophie is teaching in Brunswick that week, so she books for the following Saturday.

  2. Week 5
    One card smudged.

    Hamish's FD-258 comes back unreadable. The school's start date does not move.

  3. Week 9
    Certificates land out of sequence.

    Sophie has both certificates. Hamish's reprint is still somewhere between Melbourne and Washington.

  4. Week 18
    A certificate goes stale.

    The school's HR team asks for more recent documents, and Sophie's first result no longer counts.

  5. Week 22
    Term starts without them.

    Five print sessions, four couriers, and someone else starting the semester in Singapore in their place.

With Globeia

Both printed at home in Melbourne, together

  1. Day 1
    One visit in Hawthorn.

    Each of them gives an FD-258 and a C-216C while their son is at school, and every print is checked on the spot.

  2. Week 1
    Cards split by country.

    The FD-258 cards fly to Globeia in Washington, DC. The C-216C forms go to Globeia Incorporated for the RCMP-accredited route.

  3. Week 3
    Two files, one screen.

    Both files sit together in Globeia SmartPortal, so neither gets ahead of the other.

  4. Week 6
    Results line up.

    All four certificates arrive within days of each other, issued in English with nothing to translate.

  5. Week 7
    Sent to the school together.

    One invoice. Every certificate is still recent on the day the school applies for their Employment Passes.

What Our Clients Say

A selection of reviews of Globeia from our Google Business Profile, shown as they were written.

  • ★★★★★
    “I submitted an application for my wife's RCMP clearance and received the results within the timeframe specified by Globeia. Additionally, the staff provided exceptional assistance, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services.”
    Deepak SinghGoogle review
  • ★★★★★
    “I usually don't write reviews, but I was so pleased with the service I received that I felt compelled to share my experience. Recently, I needed to obtain an RCMP Background Check from outside of Canada, followed by an Apostille Certificate for a visa application overseas. The process was fairly straightforward, and Globeia assisted me with the entire process, starting with the RCMP Background Check, then obtaining the Apostille, and finally mailing the physical documents to me in South Korea via UPS.”
    Azim NoorGoogle review
  • ★★★★★
    “Globeia Inc is a great company. Very friendly helpful staff. They got my criminal record done for me super fast and efficiently. Highly highly recommend them!”

Apostille and Legalization Support for USA, Canada and UK Documents

Need documents accepted overseas? Globeia helps arrange apostille, authentication, and legalisation for documents from the USA, Canada, and the UK. We support birth certificates, marriage certificates, police records, diplomas, powers of attorney, and company documents for international use. Our team helps coordinate the correct process based on where your document was issued and where it needs to be used.

  • 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.
