• The Process •

How Globeia Birmingham Process Works

Here is exactly how your file moves from booking in Birmingham to submission abroad.

The Process

Step 1

Step 1: Choose Your Service and Book Online

Select the service you need - RCMP Criminal Record Check coordination, FBI Identity History Summary coordination, fingerprint collection for other international background check, or apostille support, and book your appointment through Globeia's SmartPortal. Choose your preferred date, time, and location across Birmingham. Confirmation is instant.

A Face ID verification step is included to digitally authenticate your identity prior to final appointment scheduling.

Step 2

Step 2: A Trained Associate Comes to Your Location

A trained Globeia associate travels to your home, office, university accommodation, or workplace anywhere across Birmingham and the West Midlands. Two valid forms of identification are required. At least one must be a government-issued photo ID containing your full name, date of birth, photograph, and signature. Photocopies of both IDs are needed for submission.

Step 3

Step 3: Ink Fingerprints Captured on the Official Card

Fingerprints are taken using the ink-and-roll method on the correct official cards. Each impression is reviewed on the spot for clarity and completeness. If any set does not meet the review standard, it is retaken before the appointment closes.

Step 4

Step 4: Cards Sealed and Prepared for Courier

Once every impression passes the on-site review, the card is securely sealed and prepared for international courier. A Letter of Identity Verification is issued at this stage - a Globeia document confirming your identity was verified by a trained associate, with a unique encrypted QR code.

The Letter of Identity Verification is a Globeia-issued document only. It has no connection to the RCMP, the FBI, or any government authority.

Step 5

Step 5: Submission Handled by the Office Abroad

For FBI and RCMP Criminal Record Check, Cards are couriered to the appropriate office for the correct submission:

Fingerprint cards for RCMP CRC, mailed to Globeia Incorporated in Toronto - an RCMP-accredited office, which digitizes and submits them to the RCMP's RTID system from within Canada.

FBI fingerprinting cards mailed to Globeia Inc. in the USA for onward submission to the FBI.

From this point, processing is controlled entirely by the RCMP or the FBI. SmartPortal tracking covers the stages Globeia controls - courier handoff, card receipt at the office abroad, and submission confirmation. Internal government processing is not visible from outside their systems.

Step 6

Step 6: Result Delivered to You

Once the RCMP, FBI, or relevant authority processes the submission, results are issued directly by that authority. Globeia keeps you updated throughout and will advise you on how results will be delivered based on your submission type.
