For firms onboarding registered representatives, Globeia provides on-site FINRA fingerprinting in Geneva for teams and individuals. A trained associate visits your office and completes the entire team in one session using the FINRA-compliant cards provided by your firm, reviewing each card before returning it sealed with a Letter of Identity Verification. Individual registrants can be fingerprinted at their home or workplace by appointment. In all cases, we return the completed cards back to you or your firm with a Letter of Identity Verification.
Globeia takes fingerprints on FINRA-approved cards only. We do not supply FINRA cards and we do not submit to FINRA; your firm's compliance team does. Face ID and government ID check at every appointment.
Here's What You Need for FINRA Fingerprinting in Geneva
Your member firm supplies the FINRA card with its identifiers already completed. An FBI FD-258 cannot be substituted and we cannot provide a replacement. If anything on the firm side of the card is blank, resolve it with compliance before booking.
Your FINRA-approved fingerprint card
Sent to you by your member firm, with the firm's CRD number or ORI, the firm name and company code, and the reason fingerprinted already on it. Bring every card your firm sent; many firms ask for two.
Two forms of identification
At least one government issued with photo and signature. A passport is the safest choice. Your identity is verified with Face ID and your ID before any print is taken.
Your firm's return instructions
Where the completed card goes: back to your compliance team, or to FINRA Document Services for cards completed outside the United States. We hand the sealed card back to you; it does not pass through a third party.
Your firm's registration or compliance team orders FINRA fingerprint cards. If they would rather use electronic submission, FINRA's approved vendors capture prints in the United States only, which is why firms send cards to staff abroad. If what you actually need is an FBI background check for a visa or a job, that is a different card and a different process: see fingerprinting in Geneva.
15 minutes in Geneva. The card leaves with you, ready for your firm.
Each impression is rolled by a trained associate, examined on the spot and retaken if it falls short. We complete every remaining field and sign as the taking officer. A rejected card can delay a registration by weeks, which is why we check before we close the envelope.

These are the questions we hear most often from clients in Geneva. If yours is not here, send us a message and we will answer it.
No. FINRA-approved cards are ordered by your member firm and sent to you with the firm's CRD number or ORI, name and company code already filled in. Bring that card. We cannot fingerprint you for FINRA on a blank or FBI FD-258 card, because FINRA rejects cards that are missing its required fields.
The firm fields: CRD or ORI number, firm name and company code, and the reason fingerprinted. If any of those are blank, ask your compliance team before booking. Your own details and the ten impressions are completed at the appointment.
No. We hand the completed, sealed card back to you with a Letter of Identity Verification. Your firm submits it to FINRA, or you follow the return instructions your firm gave you. Cards completed outside the United States usually go to FINRA Document Services rather than to FINRA's electronic vendor.
Request a mobile session and tell us how many people and where. One associate, or two for larger groups, comes to your office in Geneva and fingerprints everyone in one visit, about 15 minutes per person. Each card is checked and sealed, each person receives a Letter of Identity Verification, and the firm receives one invoice. Recurring sessions for monthly intakes can be scheduled in advance.
About 15 minutes per person. A team of ten is usually done within three hours at your office.
Yes. Mobile FINRA fingerprinting covers Geneva and the surrounding area, for individuals and for teams, at your office, home or workplace. The identity check, the card standard and the Letter of Identity Verification are the same at every appointment.
No. An FBI Identity History Summary uses the FD-258 or FD-1164 card and is a different process that Globeia can run end to end, including apostille and translation. See our fingerprinting page for Geneva.
A Globeia document confirming that your identity was verified with Face ID and a government ID and that your fingerprints were collected by a trained Globeia associate. It carries a unique encrypted QR code. It is not issued by FINRA or any government authority.
Globeia is not affiliated with or endorsed by FINRA. FINRA fingerprint results are processed by FINRA and the FBI; Globeia takes the fingerprints and verifies identity.
Book one session for the whole team, or one slot for yourself.
