Option A · Fingerprints only

Fingerprints Collected in Sydney. The Remaining Five Steps Are Yours.

Globeia captures your prints on the correct authority-required card, verifies your identity through Face ID and government ID, and issues a Letter of Identity Verification. Everything after that is your responsibility across two countries.

  • ✕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.

RecommendedOption B · Full Package with Globeia

One Sydney Appointment. Globeia Manages Everything After.

Step 1 in Sydney - at your home, office, hotel, or the George Street walk-in. Steps 2 through 5 inside Globeia's own accredited office in the issuing country. Step 6 delivers your completed, apostilled result back to your Sydney address. Same team. Same file. No third parties at any point.

  • ✓Card checked before it ships, so it is not rejected later
  • ✓Submitted by our own accredited office, from inside the country
  • ✓Apostille ordered by us, in the right order
  • ✓Every step visible in your portal, one reference, one invoice

RCMP Accreditation & Processing Disclaimer

RCMP accreditation is held by Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Globeia in Sydney 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 Tyler. He lives in Sydney and needs an FBI Background Check to support his partner visa with the Department of Home Affairs.

Tyler is a composite of the clients we see every week. Here's how his clearance goes when he does the fingerprints and sorts out the rest himself, and how it goes when Globeia runs the whole file.

On his own

A Sydney print shop, a U.S. vendor, a deadline

  1. Week 1
    Printed near Town Hall.

    He posts the card to a U.S. vendor he found with a quick web search.

  2. Week 5
    Card bounced for smudges.

    The ridges on three fingers are too faint to read. Nobody checked them before the card left Sydney.

  3. Week 6
    Home Affairs sets a date.

    A request lands in his ImmiAccount: his police certificates are due by a set deadline.

  4. Week 10
    Second card, slow post.

    He gets reprinted in Parramatta and pays for another courier across the Pacific.

  5. Week 16
    Asks Home Affairs for more time.

    Two print sessions, two couriers and an extension request, all for one certificate.

With Globeia

His Sydney flat, one visit, one tracked file

  1. Day 1
    Associate arrives in Bondi.

    FD-258 prints taken at his kitchen table, and every impression checked before the card is sealed.

  2. Week 1
    Handed to our Washington, DC staff.

    They submit it to the FBI, and Tyler watches the status in Globeia SmartPortal.

  3. Week 4
    Result in, read line by line.

    It is issued in English, so there is nothing to translate for Home Affairs.

  4. Week 5
    No extra paperwork added.

    Home Affairs usually accepts the certificate as issued, so no apostille is ordered for this file.

  5. Week 6
    Uploaded with time to spare.

    One invoice. The certificate is in ImmiAccount well before the deadline.

    Liv ZelaznyGoogle 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.”

Our Sydney office, or we come to you

Our office is at 333 George Street, a short walk from Wynyard. Sydney is spread out, though, and getting from the Northern Beaches to Parramatta can take most of a morning, so our associate can do the travelling instead. Pick the office, your home, your desk in the CBD, or a hotel lobby or café, and choose a time when you book.
