Globeia Barcelona Services

Doorstep Fingerprinting in Barcelona

Get professional fingerprint collection in Barcelona for international criminal record check applications and legal requirements. Whether you need fingerprints for Canada (RCMP), the United States (FBI), or other countries like Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, or South Africa, Globeia ensures your prints meet exact specifications.

Our mobile fingerprinting service covers all of Barcelona, allowing you to complete your fingerprinting at home, in your office, or at a coworking space. Fingerprints are captured on internationally accepted cards with precision to avoid rejection or delays.

After each fingerprinting session, clients receive Globeia’s Letter of Identity Verification containing an encrypted QR code for record validation. This document is issued solely by Globeia and is not connected to the RCMP, FBI, or any government body.

RCMP Criminal Record Check

We provide complete fingerprinting in Barcelona for Canadian criminal record checks required for PR, immigration, work permits, or citizenship. Your fingerprints are captured on the C-216C form, and your application is prepared to check against CCRTIS (Canadian Criminal Real Time Identification Services) requirements.

The completed fingerprint cards are securely couriered to Globeia Incorporated, Canada, through where they are digitized and submitted to RCMP, ensuring compliance. RCMP processing times range from 3 to 120 days and are determined entirely by the RCMP based on application volume, backlogs, and other individual circumstances. Mailing and delivery time is additional.

Sworn Translations

We coordinate official sworn translation requests in Spain through the official government authorities, fully recognized by the Spanish Ministry of Justice for legal and immigration purposes.

The required translation requests are submitted to the designated authorities. Documents such as FBI background checks, RCMP criminal record checks, and supporting paperwork are translated, certified, stamped, and signed by authorized sworn translators. These translations are accepted for visa applications, residency permits, and government submissions across Spain.

FBI Background Checks

Get Ink fingerprint collection in Barcelona for FBI background checks required for visas, employment, licensing, or international travel.

Fingerprints are captured on FBI-compliant FD-258 / FD-1164 cards by trained mobile associates. These fingerprint cards are couriered to Globeia Inc. in the USA, where further processing takes place. Your application is then submitted to the FBI via our U.S. office. FBI processing times vary based on individual circumstances and are determined entirely by the FBI. Once the FBI issues your Identity History Summary, results are delivered based on the delivery method selected during your application. Globeia can assist with coordination of delivery to your Barcelona address.

Apostille and Embassy Legalization

Globeia coordinates apostille and legalization requests on your behalf through the designated competent government authority based on document origin. For US documents including FBI Identity History Summaries, requests are submitted to the US Department of State Office of Authentications. For Canadian documents including RCMP Criminal Record Checks, requests are submitted to Global Affairs Canada. For documents destined for countries outside the Hague Apostille Convention, embassy legalization is coordinated through the relevant consulate or embassy on your behalf.

Once authenticated by the relevant authority, documents are securely delivered to your Barcelona address or shipped internationally via tracked courier.

Globeia does not directly apostille official government documents. All apostille and authentication services are processed through the designated competent government authority on your behalf.

Coordinated Document Solutions

Globeia Barcelona coordinates fingerprint collection locally and routes apostille and authentication requests to the designated competent government authority on your behalf- so you have one point of contact instead of managing multiple agencies independently.

You can combine fingerprinting, RCMP criminal record checks or FBI background checks submission coordination, sworn translations, and apostille services into one streamlined process. From initial appointment to fully prepared, translated, and legalized paperwork, everything can be completed through one provider.

This advanced verification system helps reduce the risk of rejection, confirms that fingerprints were properly and professionally captured, and represents a level of transparency and assurance that no other company in the industry offers.
