Globeia Barcelona: Mobile Ink Fingerprinting for International Checks
Professional Fingerprinting Services in Barcelona with Submissions Coordinated Through Our Offices in Canada and USA - Plus Translations, Apostille, and Document Support
Looking for fingerprinting in Barcelona? In Barcelona, you’ll find plenty of agencies that will ink your fingerprints. And then? You’re left running from one office to another for background checks, translations, apostilles, and embassy support. A process that should take days ends up costing you weeks and months.
Globeia changes that story. Here’s how it works with us.
Globeia Barcelona solely acts as a mobile fingerprint service provider and collects professional ink fingerprints on the correct cards. The fingerprints for RCMP criminal record checks are then couriered to Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada, the RCMP-accredited entity, where they are digitized and submitted electronically to RCMP. On the other hand, the completed fingerprint cards for FBI background checks are handled by Globeia Inc. in the USA, where they are processed and submitted to the FBI on your behalf.
We don’t just take fingerprints, we streamline the entire journey for you from right here in Barcelona. From fingerprint collection to coordination of apostille/certified translations requests through the designated government authorities, everything is handled from one portal, without errors, delays, or endless back-and-forth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please feel free to contact us for anything if you don't find answers to your questions.
Yes, Globeia Barcelona collects your ink fingerprints on FD-258/FD-1164 cards and coordinates submission through Globeia Inc. in the USA for FBI processing.
RCMP processing takes 3 to 120 days from the time the fingerprints are received and accepted by the RCMP CCRTIS, depending entirely on the RCMP. This excludes international courier time from Barcelona to Canada (around 3-7 business days) and any additional time needed for apostille or sworn translation.
Absolutely. We offer seamless coordination of sworn translations into Spanish and apostille services for documents through the official government authorities, ensuring they are legally accepted for use in Spain and internationally.
Yes and this is one of the most common requests Globeia handles in Barcelona. Your ink fingerprints are collected locally, the FBI submission is coordinated through our USA office, the apostille is submitted to the US Department of State on your behalf, and the sworn Spanish translation is completed by a MAEC-recognised traductor jurado. Everything managed through one Globeia file from Barcelona.
Yes. A trained Globeia associate collects your ink fingerprints on the official C-216C form at your Barcelona location. The completed card is mailed to Globeia Incorporated in Toronto- the RCMP-accredited entity where it is digitized and electronically submitted to RCMP CCRTIS. You never need to leave Barcelona.
No. Police stations in Barcelona generally do not provide FD-258/FD-1164 or C-216C fingerprinting. Globeia provides mobile ink fingerprinting anywhere in Barcelona at your home, office, or coworking space.
Globeia provides compliant ink fingerprint collection on FINRA-required cards at your Diagonal office or preferred Barcelona location. Completed cards are returned to you or your firm's compliance team for submission through your sponsoring firm's FINRA registration process. No trip to the United States required.
Yes, and this is very common for Digital Nomad Visa co-applicants and expat couples in Barcelona. One Globeia associate handles both appointments in the same session at your Barcelona location- same time, same place.
Globeia provides on-site corporate fingerprinting in Barcelona for HR teams, law firms, tech companies in 22@, and relocation agencies managing multiple employees.
