Moving from Chile to Canada or the US for work, study or family? Many of these applications ask for a criminal record check, and that starts with a set of fingerprints. Globeia is now expanding fingerprinting services in Chile.

Tell us where you live, such as Santiago, Valparaíso or Concepción, and we will find a time and place that works for you. Our own offices in the U.S. and Canada handle submission, apostille and certified Spanish translation. We do not use vendors or resellers. You always know who is working on your file.

  • Launching in Chile, taking appointment requests now
  • FBI, RCMP and international police clearances, the same service as in our live markets
  • Submission, apostille and certified translation through our own U.S. and Canadian offices

Free and without obligation. Nothing is paid until you have a confirmed date and an estimate you are happy with. Face ID and government ID check at every visit, and a Letter of Identity Verification with every completed appointment.

How it works while we launch

Request now, and be among the first visits when we go live.

We are opening Chile in order of request. Your request costs nothing and commits you to nothing; it tells us where the first visits are needed and secures your place in the first schedule.

  1. 1Step 1
    Send your request.

    Your address, the clearances you need and when you would like the visit. Nothing to pay.

  2. 2Step 2
    We reply within 24 hours.

    As soon as we can serve your area, we send a confirmed date and a written estimate listing the plan, government fees at cost and any travel fee.

  3. 3Step 3
    Confirm, and we come to you.

    Pay only once you are happy with the estimate. Your prints then go to our own offices in the U.S. and Canada, and you follow every step in Globeia SmartPortal.

A real company, with real offices

Direct Processing Through Our U.S. and Canadian Offices

We come to your door in Chile to capture your prints, then send your application to Globeia teams in Washington, DC and Toronto for submission and management.

Glass-fronted office with people working at desks inside
Our own offices, Globeia Inc. in Washington, DC and Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, submit every FBI and RCMP file.
Three questions to ask any fingerprinting provider

The answers tell you whether your file will be done to the authority's rules, or to nobody's.

  1. Who submits my fingerprints to the RCMP from Chile, and is that company on the RCMP's accredited list?

    Globeia Incorporated in Toronto is on the list and submits your C-216C electronically to CCRTIS from inside Canada, once the form taken in Chile reaches it by tracked courier.

  2. Who orders the apostille and the Spanish translation, and in what order?

    Our own offices order the U.S. Department of State apostille or the Global Affairs Canada apostille first, then the certified Spanish translation the National Migration Service (SERMIG) generally expects, so nothing is done twice. One file, one reference, one invoice.

  3. Who will actually take my fingerprints in Chile?

    A trained Globeia associate visits your home, office or hotel, first in Santiago, Las Condes, Vitacura and Viña del Mar, checks your face against your government ID and reviews every impression before the card leaves. While we launch, each visit is confirmed in writing, with its date and estimate, before you pay.

A fingerprint card taken without reference to the authority's standards is just ink on paper: the wrong card stock, a missing rolled impression or an empty "taken by" box, and the application comes back weeks later. Our associates are trained on exactly those criteria.

What happens before and during the visit, so there are no surprises

Clients often tell us they want to know exactly what will happen before they book. Here it is, step by step.

Before the visit
  1. 1Confirmation by email with your associate's name, the arrival window and what to prepare: two forms of identification and a table to work at.
  2. 2A reminder the day before, with a direct contact for the associate on the day.
  3. 3Change the time if you need to. We ask only for reasonable notice; the terms are in your confirmation.
During the visit · 15 to 30 minutes per person
  1. 1Arrival at the agreed time. The associate presents Globeia identification.
  2. 2Identity check. Passport or residence card, plus a Face ID match.
  3. 3Fingerprinting on the correct card. Each impression is checked on the spot and retaken if needed, at no extra charge.
  4. 4Your Letter of Identity Verification is issued.
  5. 5Cards couriered to Globeia Inc. or Globeia Incorporated. Tracking appears in your SmartPortal.
One step, or all six

How to tell a one-step fingerprint shop, or an online "all-in-one" website, from a provider that can actually run the whole process

Local shops do one thing well: they take prints, in one city. Online services promise everything and own nothing. Globeia is the only provider with its own offices at both ends of your file.

What you needLocal fingerprint shopOnline "all-in-one" websiteGlobeia

If you only need the fingerprints, we will happily take just the fingerprints, on the right card, with a Letter of Identity Verification. The comparison describes typical providers, not any named company.

The authorities set the clock. You control only when Step 1 happens.

RCMP Accreditation & Processing Disclaimer

RCMP accreditation is held exclusively by Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Globeia in Chile is not RCMP-accredited, and Globeia is not endorsed by the RCMP, the FBI, FINRA, or any government authority. Fingerprints for the RCMP Criminal Record Check are collected in ink on the official C-216C form and mailed to Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, which submits them to the RCMP. All Criminal Record Checks, FBI Identity History Summaries and regulatory results are issued directly by the respective authority, not Globeia.

One clearance, two ways to get it

Meet Ignacio. He lives in Chile and needs an RCMP Criminal Record Check for a mining post in Antofagasta.

Ignacio is a composite of the clients Globeia serves in its live markets: a Chilean engineer back from Calgary. Here is how the clearance goes when he does the fingerprints and manages the rest alone, and how it goes when Globeia runs the whole file.

On his own

Fingerprints in Chile, everything else by post and email

  1. Week 1
    Gets fingerprinted locally.

    A local police station or shop rolls the C-216C form, and Ignacio posts it to an accredited company in Canada he has never spoken to.

  2. Week 4
    Card rejected.

    Two impressions are unreadable. Nobody checked before it shipped. Back to step one.

  3. Week 7
    Result arrives, without the apostille.

    Ignacio now has to find someone in Canada to obtain the Global Affairs Canada apostille and post the original again.

  4. Week 12
    Apostille back. Translation refused.

    The translator he found is not one the National Migration Service (SERMIG) accepts: the file needs a certified Spanish translation.

  5. Week 15
    Finally files.

    Four providers, four invoices, and months gone.

With Globeia

One visit in Santiago, one file, one team

  1. Day 1
    Requests a visit, pays once.

    Identity checked at his door in Santiago, prints reviewed on the spot, Letter of Identity Verification issued.

  2. Week 1
    Form reaches Globeia Incorporated, Toronto.

    Digitised and submitted to the RCMP from inside Canada. Ignacio follows it in Globeia SmartPortal.

  3. Week 3
    Result received and checked.

    The Global Affairs Canada apostille requested the same day, no re-posting, no new provider.

  4. Week 6
    Certified Spanish translation done.

    By a translator the National Migration Service (SERMIG) accepts, ordered after the apostille so nothing is done twice.

  5. Week 7
    Ready-to-file clearance in hand.

    One invoice, one reference, and the file ready for a mining post in Antofagasta.
