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

Yes. Czech authorities generally expect foreign documents in a sworn Czech translation by a court translator. With the full service, we order the translation after the apostille, so the apostille is translated too and nothing has to be done twice. Translation support for other official documents is also available.

Yes. A trained associate can visit your office in Karlín or Pankrác, your faculty or halls at Charles University or CTU, your flat or your hotel. There is no Globeia office in Prague; every appointment is a mobile visit. Several colleagues or family members at one address can be fingerprinted in the same visit.

Our associates check every impression during the appointment. If a print is unclear, it is taken again on the spot, so the card leaves prepared for the RCMP, the FBI or the other receiving authority.

Anyone who needs a Canadian Criminal Record Check, for a Czech permit, for work, study or immigration in Canada, or for another country. A trained associate completes the official C-216C form with you and takes ink fingerprints on the physical card. The card then goes to Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, which submits your fingerprints to the RCMP. Results are issued directly by the RCMP.

Two valid government-issued IDs, one of them with your photo, such as your passport and your Czech residence card. For the RCMP Criminal Record Check we use the official C-216C form and a CCRTIS-approved consent form. For the FBI Background Check we use the FD-258 or FD-1164 card. A federal processing fee payable to the Receiver General of Canada applies to RCMP applications.

Usually, yes. Czech long-term visas and residence permits, including employee cards and EU Blue Cards, generally ask for a criminal record extract from your country of citizenship and from countries where you lived for a longer period in recent years, with an apostille and a sworn Czech translation. Please check the document list for your permit first, because requirements differ. With the full service, we order the apostille first and the translation second.

Most appointments take 15 to 30 minutes.

Your file has one Globeia reference, and you follow it in Globeia SmartPortal. You see each step, from your card reaching our office in Washington, DC or Toronto to the apostille and the translation, until the official result is issued by the RCMP or the FBI.

Yes. Globeia provides fingerprint collection for FBI Identity History Summary applications using the appropriate FBI fingerprint cards. For eligible applications, completed cards can also be coordinated for submission through Globeia's U.S. office.

No. The Czech criminal record extract, the výpis z Rejstříku trestů, is a different document, which covers Czechia only and is issued at Czech POINT counters. It does not replace the FBI Background Check or the RCMP Criminal Record Check. Both need prints on FD-258 or FD-1164 cards, or on the C-216C form, and a Globeia associate takes them at your flat or office in Prague.

Globeia supports fingerprinting requirements for Canada, the United States, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, New Zealand, the UAE, South Africa, and other countries, depending on the authority and application requirements.

Yes. Globeia can arrange appointments for couples, families, employees, and groups. Corporate and bulk fingerprinting can also be coordinated for eligible requirements.
