Globeia's network connects Berlin to the offices that matter for each authority. RCMP Criminal Record Check submissions are handled by Globeia Incorporated in Scarborough, Ontario, the entity that holds RCMP accreditation. FBI submissions are handled by our USA office. Fingerprints collected in Berlin are couriered to the correct submitting office, so every application reaches the right authority on the right form.
