Mobile Fingerprinting in Australia for Professionals & Corporate Groups

What's the real cost of a fingerprinting appointment? It's not the fee. It's the lost hour when the employee is out of the office. It’s the team schedule that shifts and the application deadline that gets closer.

Mobile fingerprinting in Australia removes much of that logistical cost. A trained fingerprinting associate travels to your office, home, or another preferred location and captures fingerprints according to the requirements of the receiving authority.

Globeia provides mobile fingerprinting across Australia for professionals, businesses, and corporate groups. One on-site visit can accommodate a single applicant or multiple employees. This reduces the need for everyone to travel separately to a fingerprinting location.

Whether you are in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, or a regional Australian location, the process starts online before the associate comes to you.

1. Book Online Through Globeia’s SmartForm

Start by completing Globeia’s online SmartForm. You select the service, choose your preferred location, date and time, and provide details about your application.

For corporate groups, HR or a coordinator can schedule multiple employees in one visit. Upload the bulk employee data to our system and  manage the appointment through the same process.

2. Prepare Your Documents and Complete FaceID Verification

Our team confirms what is needed for your specific application and sends a document checklist. Upload your required identification, fingerprint card or application forms.

You will then be prompted to complete a FaceID verification, confirming your identity before the appointment.

3. Your Fingerprints Are Captured On-Site

A Globeia fingerprinting associate travels to your selected location. The associate captures your fingerprints using the required method, completes the appropriate fingerprint card, and verifies your identification in person.

4. Quality Check Before Completion

Before leaving, the associate checks your fingerprints and documentation for obvious quality or completion issues. If a print is smudged, incomplete or likely to be rejected, it can be redone immediately. This helps avoid delays caused by rejected fingerprints later.

5. Letter of Identity Verification

At the end of the appointment, Globeia issues a Letter of Identity Verification confirming that the session followed all the protocols. The document includes an encrypted QR code that can be used to verify its authenticity.

6. Choose What Happens Next

You can keep the service as a fingerprint-only appointment, or Globeia can coordinate the next stage where the application requires it.

Depending on your application, Globeia can coordinate:

• FBI background check from Australia (through Globeia Inc. in the USA)
• RCMP criminal record check through Globeia Incorporated in Canada. If you are applying from Australia, see our guide to getting an RCMP Criminal Record Check in Australia for the fingerprint and submission requirements.
• International courier
• Apostille and legalisation
• Other supporting document services

Once your file is underway, you can track its status through Globeia's SmartPortal.

• No time lost travelling – The appointment comes to the applicant, so there is no need to leave work and travel across the city.
• Fingerprinting around the schedule – Appointments can be arranged at a convenient location rather than fitting around a police station’s availability.
• Useful when local options do not match the requirement – Australian police services provide fingerprinting for specific purposes, but availability, forms and services vary between states and territories. Mobile fingerprinting can be useful when an overseas authority requires a particular fingerprint card or procedure.
• One appointment, multiple requirements – Where applicable, Globeia can coordinate fingerprint capture with related identity verification, documentation and international processing.

Sending ten, twenty or fifty employees to individual fingerprinting appointments creates unnecessary scheduling and administrative work.

Globeia can arrange on-site fingerprinting for employees at a:

• corporate office
• workplace
• training location
• university
• other designated group location

Benefits for HR and Compliance Teams

• less employee downtime
• one coordinated appointment
• multiple employees processed in one visit
• consistent fingerprinting procedures
• on-site document checks
• support for international fingerprint requirements

Corporate Use Cases for Mobile Fingerprinting

Consider a Sydney-based financial firm onboarding 30 employees who need FINRA fingerprints for US registration. Sending each employee to separate appointments creates 30 individual scheduling problems. A mobile session allows the fingerprinting associate to attend the firm's Sydney office and process the group on-site.

The same model works for an Australian engineering, healthcare or professional-services company relocating employees overseas and requiring foreign Criminal Record Checks before deployment.

For finance firms dealing with this specific requirement, see our FINRA Fingerprinting in Sydney guide for a closer look at workplace and bulk fingerprinting.

The first location most applicants picture when the need of fingerprinting arises is Australian police services. They can be a suitable option when the exact services available that your application requires. But requirements differ between states and territories, and police stations operate around their own appointment locations and service rules.

The benefits of mobile fingerprinting go beyond avoiding a trip to the police station. For professionals, it means getting fingerprints taken around an existing work or travel schedule. For corporate teams, it means bringing multiple employees together for one coordinated appointment.
