Meeting U.S. regulatory requirements from Switzerland no longer requires taking financial professionals off the desk. Globeia makes FINRA fingerprinting in Bern simple by bringing the service directly to your office, private residence, or hotel across the Bern capital region. Designed for individual registrations and full-team onboarding, our associate completes each fingerprint capture in 15 minutes using your firm’s pre-issued FINRA cardstock. Every card is inspected on-site, sealed, and handed back alongside an official Letter of Identity Verification for immediate compliance filing.
Globeia takes fingerprints on FINRA-approved cards only. We do not supply FINRA cards and we do not submit to FINRA; your firm's compliance team does. Face ID and government ID check at every appointment.
Arrange these three things in order, beginning with the FINRA card.
The FINRA-approved card comes from your member firm with its identifiers already on it. An FBI FD-258 won’t be accepted, and we have no cards to substitute. Blank firm fields? Check with your compliance team first.
Your FINRA-approved fingerprint card
Sent to you by your member firm, with the firm's CRD number or ORI, the firm name and company code, and the reason fingerprinted already on it. Bring every card your firm sent; many firms ask for two.
Two forms of identification
At least one government issued with photo and signature. A passport is the safest choice. Your identity is verified with Face ID and your ID before any print is taken.
Your firm's return instructions
Where the completed card goes: back to your compliance team, or to FINRA Document Services for cards completed outside the United States. We hand the sealed card back to you; it does not pass through a third party.
Your firm's registration or compliance team orders FINRA fingerprint cards. If they would rather use electronic submission, FINRA's approved vendors capture prints in the United States only, which is why firms send cards to staff abroad. If what you actually need is an FBI background check for a visa or a job, that is a different card and a different process: see fingerprinting in Bern.
Fifteen minutes in Bern, and the paperwork is in order.
We cover FINRA fingerprinting in Bern for your FINRA registration, to FINRA’s card standard: ten rolled impressions, plain impressions, clean prints, every field complete and signed. A rejected card gives your firm a new 30-day window to resubmit, so we inspect each print before sealing.

Ask your new employer's compliance team when your fingerprints must be submitted as part of the registration process. Arrange your appointment early enough to allow for card delivery, processing, and possible resubmission. Your employer should confirm the applicable registration deadline and submission procedure.
Usually FINRA cards can be completed without an SSN. Do not enter placeholder information or leave required fields blank without instructions. Globeia can collect your fingerprints once the appropriate card and identification requirements have been confirmed with your firm.
No. We hand the completed, sealed card back to you with a Letter of Identity Verification. Your firm submits it to FINRA, or you follow the return instructions your firm gave you. Cards completed outside the United States usually go to FINRA Document Services rather than to FINRA's electronic vendor.
Request a mobile session and tell us how many people and where. One associate, or two for larger groups, comes to your office in Bern and fingerprints everyone in one visit, about 15 minutes per person.
