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

Anywhere you choose in Frankfurt. Globeia does not have an office there, so a trained associate comes to your address instead. That can be a flat in Nordend or Bornheim, a family home in Sachsenhausen, an office in the Westend or the Bankenviertel, or a hotel near the Messe, the Hauptbahnhof or the airport. All city districts are covered as standard, from Höchst in the west to Fechenheim in the east. Offenbach, Bad Homburg, Eschborn and other nearby towns are possible by arrangement. You give the place in the request form.

An appointment in Frankfurt takes 15 to 30 minutes. The associate matches your face to your ID, takes your prints on each card your clearances need and reviews every impression before leaving, so a blurred print never reaches Washington or Toronto. Your Letter of Identity Verification follows shortly after. If a partner is printed at the same visit, allow some extra time.

Yes. In Frankfurt, the associate takes your prints in ink on an FD-258 or FD-1164 card, which we courier to Globeia Inc. in Washington, DC. Our team there submits it to the FBI, and the result is issued directly by the FBI. We then request the U.S. apostille and, for use in Germany, arrange a sworn German translation. You can follow every stage in Globeia SmartPortal.

Other police clearances or Fingerprinting only starting from €125, RCMP starting from €200 and FBI starting from €205. You see the full price, including any mobile visit fee, before you pay.

Yes. At your address in Frankfurt, the associate checks two valid government-issued IDs and completes the official C-216C form with you, with ink prints on a physical card and the CCRTIS-approved consent form. Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, which holds the RCMP accreditation, submits your fingerprints to RCMP CCRTIS. A federal processing fee is payable to the Receiver General of Canada, and the result is issued directly by the RCMP. RCMP processing times range from 3 to 120 days and are determined entirely by the RCMP. Mailing time is additional. If a German authority requires it, we obtain the apostille from Global Affairs Canada and a sworn German translation follows.

Usually, if a German authority will receive it. Germany is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, so an FBI result is apostilled by the U.S. Department of State and an RCMP result by Global Affairs Canada. German authorities, such as the Ausländerbehörde, then often ask for a sworn German translation by a translator recognised by a German court. We order both in the right order, apostille first, in the same file. For other countries, we follow what the receiving authority asks for.

Yes. A trained associate can visit an office in the Westend, the Bankenviertel, the Europaviertel or near the airport, or in Eschborn by arrangement, and print several colleagues in one visit. Each person brings two IDs and has their own file in Globeia SmartPortal. Send the request form with the address, the number of people and the clearances needed. The team replies and confirms the visit and the price in writing before anything is paid.

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.

Please have two IDs ready, at least one of them government-issued with your photo and signature. A passport is the safest choice, and your German residence permit card (eAT) can be the second. We bring every FD-258, FD-1164 and C-216C card needed. Clearances for other countries need their own fingerprint form, so please have it ready. A clear table near a window helps.

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

No. The Führungszeugnis, Germany's certificate of good conduct, comes from the Federal Office of Justice and is a different document, which you can request at a Frankfurt Bürgeramt or online. The FBI Background Check and the RCMP Criminal Record Check require ink prints on FD-258 or FD-1164 cards, or on the C-216C form. We take them at your address.

Your fingerprints are checked for quality before the appointment is completed. You receive your completed fingerprint cards along with Globeia's Letter of Identity Verification, and where applicable, Globeia can coordinate the next submission steps for eligible FBI and RCMP applications.
