Globeia Bern - Mobile Ink Fingerprinting
and Document Services

For international fingerprinting in Bern, the usual route is going to Bern Cantonal Police (Kantonspolizei Bern), which requires scheduling an in-person appointment at their office, travelling there, and working around their availability. For people in Bern managing visa deadlines, work schedules, or family commitments, that's time and effort that adds up.

Globeia Bern offers a much more convenient alternative. Book online through our SmartPortal in minutes, choose a date and time that suits you, and a trained associate comes directly to any preferred location across Bern and the surrounding canton.

From there, we coordinate everything. Your completed cards are securely couriered to our processing offices available in multiple countries, such as USA, UK, Canada, and more, where our team submits them directly to the relevant authority on your behalf.

Globeia covers the full scope of ink fingerprinting and document services in Bern, including criminal record checks, apostille, legalisation, and certified translations, all handled through a single, coordinated process.

Globeia Professional Fingerprinting Services in Bern

International Ink Fingerprinting

Fully mobile fingerprinting services are available across Bern and surrounding regions for residents, professionals, corporate, and legal clients.

Trained associates familiar with international standards conduct on-the-spot quality checks to maintain fingerprint accuracy and precision.

Fingerprints captured on country-specific official fingerprint cards using the ink-and-roll method.

An exclusive Letter of Identity Verification is issued after every appointment that proves your prints were collected professionally under strict security protocols.

FBI Background Check

Your fingerprints are rolled on official, FBI-compliant cards: FD-258 or FD-1164.

Completed physical cards are couriered safely to Globeia Inc. in the United States, where our team submits them to the FBI on your behalf.

The FBI verifies your fingerprint impressions against the national criminal database to issue your official Identity History Summary.

The usual turnaround time is 1-3 days for US-citizens, and 2-3 weeks for non-US citizens (excluding international mailing time).

RCMP Criminal Record Checks

Fingerprints are captured strictly using black ink on the official C216C or equivalent fingerprint cards.

Cards are couriered to Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, our fully RCMP-accredited Canadian office, where they are digitized and submitted to the RCMP.

RCMP conducts the verification of your digital fingerprints against the National Repository of Criminal Records.

Criminal record checks are processed by the RCMP in around 3-120 days, excluding additional mailing time.

Complete Document Package: Apostille, Legalization & Translation

Globeia coordinates apostille requests for documents being submitted to countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.

For countries that do not accept a standard apostille, we submit embassy legalization requests directly to the relevant embassy or consulate for you.

Certified translations are available in German, French, Italian, and more than 50 other languages through authorized translation professionals.

We process and translate criminal record checks, birth and marriage certificates, diplomas, degrees, and other official documents.

The services can be arranged independently or combined with your fingerprinting appointment.

Please Note: Globeia does not directly apostille official government documents and does not perform apostille services on behalf of any government authority. All apostille and authentication requests are submitted by our company to the designated competent government authority on your behalf.

Letter Of Authentication

Globeia is the only fingerprinting service globally that issues an official Letter of Identity Verification for every fingerprinting appointment - a revolutionary standard in secure and verifiable fingerprinting.

This document confirms that your fingerprints were collected by a trained Globeia Fingerprinting Officer, following strict identity verification and international fingerprinting protocols.

Each letter is equipped with a unique, encrypted QR code, enabling instant, tamper-proof verification by government agencies, licensing authorities, employers, and law enforcement.

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.
