Fingerprinting for every purpose

More Than Fingerprinting. Real Support Throughout the Process.

Many providers depend on several external vendors. Globeia coordinates FBI and RCMP requirements through its own offices in Canada and the United States. This gives you one connected process, clearer communication and dedicated support throughout your clearance.

Option A · Fingerprints only

We complete fingerprint collection. You manage the remaining steps.

We take your fingerprints on the required card, verify your identity and provide a Letter of Identity Verification. After the appointment, you handle the remaining clearance steps with the relevant authorities.

  • ✕You find a courier and ship the original card abroad
  • ✕You submit to the authority, on its form, in its sequence
  • ✕You arrange the apostille in the issuing country and ship again
  • ✕You find a sworn translator Migración Colombia will accept
  • ✕One miss at any authority sends the file back to Step 1

Fine if your employer or lawyer is handling the rest. Most people are not in that position.

RecommendedOption B · Full Package with Globeia

One appointment. We coordinate the complete process.

Your fingerprinting appointment takes place at your home or office in Bogotá. Globeia then helps coordinate the remaining clearance steps through the appropriate route for each country, including submission support, results, apostille and translation when needed.

  • ✓Card checked before it ships, so it is not rejected later
  • ✓Submitted by our own accredited office, from inside the country
  • ✓Apostille and sworn translation ordered by us, in the right order
  • ✓Every step visible in your portal, one reference, one invoice
  • ✓10 years of doing exactly this. You get it right the first time.

RCMP Accreditation & Processing Disclaimer

RCMP accreditation belongs to Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Fingerprinting appointments in Bogotá are provided for compliant collection and document support. Globeia is an independent service provider and is not endorsed by the RCMP, FBI, or FINRA. Final clearance results are issued only by the respective authorities.

One clearance, two ways to get it

Meet Andrew. He lives in Bogota and needs an FBI Background Check for his Colombian migrant (M) visa.

Andrew is a composite of the clients we meet every week. Here is how his clearance goes when he arranges the fingerprints and manages the rest himself, and how it goes when Globeia handles the complete file.

On his own

Prints in Bogota, then three providers on two continents

  1. Week 1
    Printed in Chapinero.

    A small office takes his prints. The card is couriered to the U.S. without being checked.

  2. Week 4
    Card bounced back.

    Two fingers are unreadable. He pays for a courier from Bogota a second time.

  3. Week 8
    Plain result, no apostille.

    Migración Colombia requires the U.S. apostille. The original goes back to Washington.

  4. Week 13
    Translator not official.

    His translator in Usaquén is not an official translator, so the sworn Spanish version must be done again.

  5. Week 17
    Visa filed, five months on.

    Four providers, two couriers, and his visa deadline almost missed.

With Globeia

A visit to his Bogota flat, then one team

  1. Day 1
    Associate visits his Chicó flat.

    ID checked, FD-258 taken and inspected, and the Letter of Identity Verification issued.

  2. Week 1
    Card at Globeia Washington, DC.

    Our team submits it to the FBI. He follows its progress in Globeia SmartPortal.

  3. Week 3
    Apostille requested the same week.

    Issued by the U.S. Department of State, without him sending anything.

  4. Week 6
    Sworn Spanish translation ready.

    Prepared by an official translator that Migración Colombia accepts, and arranged by us in the correct order.

  5. Week 7
    M visa file complete.

    One invoice. His application is submitted well before his current visa expires.

    “I used Globeia for RCMP, aposilled, translation services to send to Portugal. They were helpful, fast and kept me updated with each process. The fee they charge might be a more expensive than alternative options but you get the service and quality you pay for. Very happy with the speed as well in getting the documents certified. it came sooner than expected.”

From birth and marriage certificates to diplomas, police documents, powers of attorney and business records, we help prepare documents for international use without unnecessary travel.

    Globeia Incorporated obtains apostilles from Global Affairs Canada or the competent provincial authority, and authentication and legalisation where an apostille does not apply.
