Whether you are planning to move to Canada, applying for permanent residency, or securing a Canadian work permit from Paris, one requirement will almost certainly appear on your checklist: an RCMP Criminal Record Check.

FBI fingerprinting uses FD-258 or FD-1164 cards submitted to the US for an FBI Identity History Summary, while fingerprinting for RCMP criminal record check requires the official C-216C or equivalent form sent to an RCMP-accredited Canadian provider, since Paris-based applicants cannot submit directly to the RCMP from France.
Mobile fingerprinting in Paris brings the appointment to you instead of requiring a trip to a fixed office. Book through Globeia's SmartForm, verify identity via Face ID and a government ID, then a trained associate meets you at a home, office, or hotel anywhere in Paris or Île-de-France to capture prints on the correct form. The appointment itself takes about 15-20 minutes, and completed prints are routed to Globeia's accredited offices in Toronto or the USA for RCMP or FBI submission.
Need in-office fingerprinting in Sydney? Globeia provides fingerprinting for international applications involving the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and more. Appointments are available at our George Street office, with ID verification and on-site quality checks.
Living in Madrid while managing Canadian immigration, employment, or licensing paperwork often means dealing with deadlines that continue moving whether your documents are ready or not. One missing fingerprint form, an incorrect submission step, or a delayed courier can hold up an entire application.

Americans needing FBI Fingerprinting in Madrid for Spanish visa applications, employment, or professional licensing can complete the fingerprinting process locally. The most critical step is ensuring prints are captured on official FD-258 or FD-1164 cards with clean ink impressions, as poor quality is the leading cause of FBI rejections and resubmissions.

Need FBI fingerprints for a U.S. visa without leaving Paris? Book an in-person appointment for rolled and flat impressions on the FD-258/FD-1164 card, then either submitting them yourself to the CJIS Division, or let a provider handle it. Globeia offers both in-office and mobile appointments across Paris and wider France, checks fingerprint quality on the spot to reduce rejection risk, and either submits directly to the FBI or hands back the securely packaged cards for you to send.

Choosing the right police check for Canada can be confusing for UK applicants. While both RCMP Criminal Record Checks and name-based police checks provide background information, they serve different purposes. Understanding the difference is essential to avoid delays, rejected applications, or submitting the wrong document for Canadian immigration, employment, or other official requirements.
For applicants in Portugal, the RCMP often specifically asks for the fingerprint-based check rather than a name search, and the harder part isn't the fingerprinting itself but getting document consistency right across identification, the C-216C form, and consent paperwork before anything moves to Canada. Since the RCMP doesn't accredit companies outside Canada, that final leg has to run through an accredited entity like Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, which digitizes the locally-collected prints for submission, after which RCMP review depends heavily on how clean and complete the original submission was.

Globeia Lisbon provides in-office fingerprinting services in Lisbon at its Amoreiras Square location for international checks, with trained staff handling identity verification, quality review, and submission coordination. Final results are issued by the relevant authority.

RCMP Criminal Record Check applications from the UK can be delayed or rejected because of poor-quality fingerprints, incorrect forms, incomplete personal information, missing documents, or errors during submission. This guide covers the ten most common reasons applications fail and explains what UK applicants can do to avoid unnecessary delays and resubmissions.

In Spain, a sworn translation is the only type of translation that Spanish authorities will accept for official processes, and the difference comes down to who performs it: a Traductor Jurado appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, not a general translator or machine service. Submitting an uncertified translation is a faster way to rejection than submitting no translation at all, because it fails at the very first authenticity check. Globeia routes every document through MAEC-appointed sworn translators and layers the process with optional apostille and background check support, producing a submission-ready package rather than a translated page.
