How Globeia Fingerprinting Services in Colombo Work

The Process

Step 1

Step 1: Book Online With SmartForm

Complete Globeia’s SmartForm with your basic details, destination country and fingerprinting requirements. Complete the live face ID verification to help confirm your identity before your appointment.

Step 2

Step 2: On-Site Fingerprint Capture

A trained Globeia associate comes to your home, office or preferred location in Colombo with the professional fingerprinting kit and captures your fingerprints on the required country-specific card.

Step 3

Step 3: Complete Quality Review

All 10 fingerprints are reviewed on-site for ridge clarity, completeness and overall impression quality. Any fingerprint that needs to be recaptured can be addressed during the appointment.

Step 4

Step 4: Receive Your Letter & Secure Submission

After your fingerprints are collected, Globeia provides a Letter of Identity Verification confirming your fingerprinting appointment. If submission support is selected, physical fingerprint cards can be securely routed to the appropriate Globeia processing location - for example, Globeia Incorporated in Canada for RCMP processing or Globeia Inc. in the USA for FBI submissions.

Step 5

Step 5: Receive Your Results

Your final result depends on the service selected and the processing authority. RCMP Criminal Record Checks, FBI Identity History Summaries and other official results are issued by the relevant government authority, not Globeia. Once available, results can be delivered through the applicable digital or international courier route, depending on the service.

Read This Blog

Common fingerprinting mistakes that lead to rejected international background checks include writing your name in the wrong order on the card choosing the wrong purpose code for why you're being fingerprinted, using a card format the destination country doesn't accept, and not accounting for worn or dry skin ridges before the appointment. Working with a trained provider like Globeia, which uses the correct country-specific cards and runs on-site quality checks, helps avoid most of these issues before the card is even submitted.
