Fingerprinting for every purpose

Need More Than Fingerprinting? Complete Support, Without the Middlemen.

Unlike providers who rely on third-party vendors and intermediaries, Globeia processes every RCMP and FBI submission through our own offices: Globeia Incorporated in Canada, and Globeia Inc. in the USA. No outsourcing. No middleman. No waiting on someone else's timeline. Your fingerprints go directly from collection to our own accredited team for processing.

Option A · Fingerprints only

We do Step 1. Steps 2 to 6 are yours.

We take your prints on the right card, verify your identity and issue a Letter of Identity Verification. Then you manage the rest across two countries.

  • ✕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 Spanish immigration 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

We do all six steps. You attend one appointment.

Step 1 in Barcelona. Steps 2 to 5 in our own office in the issuing country. Step 6 back in Barcelona. Same team, same file, no third parties.

  • ✓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 Barcelona is not RCMP-accredited, and Globeia is not endorsed by the RCMP, FBI or FINRA. RCMP electronic submission is handled through the appropriate Canadian processing route; claims of direct RCMP digital submission from Spain should be treated with caution. All Criminal Record Checks, FBI Identity History Summaries and regulatory results are issued by the respective authority, not Globeia.

One clearance, two ways to get it

Meet John. He lives in Barcelona and needs an FBI Police Clearance for his visa.

John is a composite of the clients we see every week. Here is how his clearance goes when he does the fingerprints and manages the rest himself, and how it goes when Globeia runs the whole file.

On his own

Fingerprints in Barcelona, everything else by post and email

  1. Week 1
    Gets fingerprinted locally.

    The shop posts the card to a U.S. vendor John has never spoken to.

  2. Week 4
    Card rejected.

    Two impressions are unreadable. Nobody checked before it shipped. Back to Step 1.

  3. Week 7
    Result arrives, in English, unapostilled.

    John now has to find an apostille provider in the U.S. and post the original again.

  4. Week 12
    Apostille back. Translation refused.

    He used an ordinary translator. Spanish immigration requires a sworn one.

  5. Week 15
    Finally files.

    Four providers, four invoices, one missed visa appointment.

With Globeia

One appointment in Barcelona, one file, one team

  1. Day 1
    Books online, pays once.

    Identity verified, prints checked on the spot, Letter of Identity Verification issued.

  2. Week 1

    Submitted to the FBI by our own team. John watches it move in his portal.

  3. Week 3
    Result received and checked.

    Apostille requested the same day, no re-posting, no new provider.

  4. Week 6
    Sworn translation done.

    By a translator Spanish immigration accepts. Ordered by us, in sequence.

  5. Week 7
    Ready-to-file clearance in hand.

Also from Globeia

Apostille and legalisation, from the U.S., Canada and beyond

Birth and marriage certificates, diplomas, police reports, powers of attorney and company documents. We get documents apostilled or legalised for use in any country, without you travelling.

  • 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.
