Fingerprinting Services in Medellin for RCMP, FBI and More with Globeia

A certified Globeia associate comes to your flat, coworking space or hotel anywhere in Medellin and the Aburrá Valley, including El Poblado, Laureles and Envigado.

After your prints are taken, Globeia's own offices in the U.S. and Canada handle your FBI Background Check or RCMP Criminal Record Check, with nothing outsourced. One provider handles the fingerprints, the clearance, the apostille and the sworn Spanish translation, with no middlemen, from COP 155,000.

Beyond Fingerprinting: Support for Your Complete Clearance Process

Globeia takes your fingerprints, and our own teams in the USA and Canada support eligible FBI and RCMP services. Instead of managing several separate providers, you have one coordinated process with dedicated support throughout your clearance.

  1. Step 1Identity check and fingerprinting on FD-258/FD-1164 cardsYour address, Medellin
  2. Step 2Secure international transferMedellin → Washington, DC
  3. Step 3Submission to the FBIGlobeia Washington, DC

  5. Step 5U.S. apostilleWashington, DC
  6. Step 6Sworn translation and deliveryBack to you in Medellin
Option A · Fingerprints only

We complete the fingerprinting step. You manage the remaining process.

Globeia takes your fingerprints on the required card, verifies your identity and provides a Letter of Identity Verification. You then handle the remaining steps with the relevant authorities, couriers and document providers.

  • ✕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. Globeia coordinates the process from start to finish.

Your process begins with a fingerprinting appointment at your home, office or preferred location in Medellín. Globeia then helps coordinate the required steps through the appropriate processing routes, including submission support, document handling, apostille and translation where 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 is held by Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Globeia in Medellín is not RCMP-accredited and is not endorsed by the RCMP, FBI, or FINRA. RCMP processing follows the applicable Canadian submission route. All Criminal Record Checks, FBI Identity History Summaries, and regulatory results are issued by the relevant authority, not Globeia.

One clearance, two ways to get it

Meet Jason and Laura. They live in Medellin and need an FBI Background Check and an RCMP Criminal Record Check each for their Colombian resident visas.

Jason and Laura are a composite of the clients we help every week. Here is how their clearance goes when they manage everything themselves, and how it goes when Globeia coordinates the complete file.

On their own

Four results, two translators, one Medellin family

  1. Week 1
    Booked eight days apart.

    Jason has his prints taken in El Poblado. Laura's only free appointment is in Envigado, around their son's school hours.

  2. Week 4
    C-216C never taken.

    Both sets were taken on FD-258 cards only, so the RCMP Criminal Record Check cannot start.

  3. Week 12
    Results trickle in.

    Both FBI Background Checks arrive. The RCMP Criminal Record Checks are weeks behind.

  4. Week 20
    Spanish versions sent back.

    The first translator has no official seal, and Migración Colombia returns the translations.

  5. Week 27
    One result runs out.

    Eight couriers, two translators, and Jason back at Step 1 for a new FBI Background Check.

With Globeia

Their Medellin flat, four cards, two aligned files

  1. Day 1
    Both printed in Laureles.

    Two FD-258 and two C-216C cards, each checked before the associate leaves their flat.

  2. Week 1
    Cards on two tracks.

    The U.S. cards go to our Washington, DC team, and the Canadian ones go to Globeia Incorporated in Toronto.

  3. Week 3
    Progress side by side.

    Both of them receive every status update in Globeia SmartPortal at the same time, so nothing falls behind.

  4. Week 6
    Apostilles, then translations.

    U.S. and Canadian apostilles first, then sworn Spanish translations for both files.

  5. Week 8
    Both visas filed together.

    One invoice. Every result is still valid when Migración Colombia receives it.

Apostille and Legalisation Support for International Documents

Do you need documents accepted abroad? Globeia helps coordinate apostilles, authentications and legalisations for personal, academic, business and legal documents from the USA, Canada and other countries. From birth certificates and diplomas to powers of attorney and company records, we help prepare documents for international use without unnecessary travel.

  • U.S. documents

    Our office is in Washington, DC, the capital, so federal apostilles and embassy legalisations are handled in person. State-issued documents are routed to the right Secretary of State.

  • Canadian documents

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

  • Documents from other countries

    We also arrange apostilles from other countries through our partner network. Tell us the country and the document, and we will confirm the route, timing and price.
