Fingerprinting in Lisbon Made Simple: Mobile, Accredited, One-Stop Service

Getting fingerprints in Lisbon - whether for RCMP, FBI, or other international police checks, can be a time-consuming and stressful process. Many expats and professionals face multiple trips to different agencies, long waits, and confusing procedures. Local providers often cannot handle RCMP or FBI submissions, forcing clients to send documents internationally themselves. Mobile fingerprinting is rarely available, meaning clients must travel to offices, take time off work, and risk delays. On top of that, most providers don’t offer additional services like Apostille, police checks, or certified translations, leaving clients to juggle multiple agencies, forms, and requirements.

We are the company accredited for RCMP and FBI fingerprint submissions, with offices in Canada and the U.S., giving you official access and faster processing. Our mobile fingerprinting service comes directly to your home, office, or coworking space in Lisbon, making the process convenient, fast, and stress-free. Globeia is a one-stop solution - handling RCMP and FBI fingerprints, police checks, Apostille and embassy legalization, and certified translations into Portuguese.

While the process of capturing fingerprints in Lisbon may seem simple, the truth is that the entire process is complicated, drawn out, or just unnerving, especially if it's for your RCMP, FBI, or any other security screen from a foreign country. Expats, professionals, and students frequently come across a number of hurdles that can impact what could ordinarily be a simple fingerprinting task. 

1. Navigating Multiple Providers

Most of the local fingerprinting agencies in Lisbon will perform the fingerprint collection only. If you're requiring a police check, Apostille service, or the certified translation most times you will likely be dealing with 3, 4 or more different vendors and each vendor will have their own process, paperwork, and timeline for getting completed. The generating confusion, error, or cause wasted time, especially if you have imminent deadlines to address from your application whether for, a visa, permanent residence application, or work permit. 

2. RCMP and FBI Submission Limitations

Many Lisbon providers cannot process RCMP or FBI submissions directly, forcing applicants to navigate international procedures themselves. This increases the risk of errors, rejection, and long delays.

3. Travel, Time, and Convenience Issues

Fingerprinting appointments often require travel to physical offices, sometimes multiple times. For expats balancing work, studies, or family responsibilities, this adds significant stress and inconvenience. Waiting in queues, coordinating multiple appointments, and arranging travel logistics are common frustrations that can delay your entire application process.

4. Inconsistent Forms and Procedures

Different authorities require different forms (C216 for RCMP, FD-258 / FD-1164 for FBI). Incorrect forms or procedures can lead to rejected submissions and wasted effort.

5. Lack of Mobile Services

For busy professionals or families, traveling to an office for fingerprinting is inconvenient. Mobile fingerprinting options in Lisbon are extremely limited, leaving applicants to manage their own logistics - often with added costs and time pressure.

6. Collaboration with Document Legalization and Translation

Even after fingerprints are submitted, several applicants still require Apostille, embassy legalization or certified translations for international use. Until a provider handles every step for the applicants it becomes fragmented, error-prone and stressful requiring multiple phone calls, emails and submissions.

7. Tracking and Security Issues

Fingerprints and police checks are seldom updated or tracked in real-time. Without secured tracking, neither the applicant nor the provider knows whether the documents have been submitted correctly, processed on time and approved one way or another. Applicants experience anxiety, uncertainty and some corresponding stress, during the waiting period.
