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

A police clearance for a job or visa abroad starts with fingerprints, and in Cannes we take them wherever you are. A Globeia associate comes to your apartment, hotel or workplace near La Croisette, Le Suquet or Palm Beach and takes your prints on the card your destination country asks for.

We check them before we leave, so nothing has to be redone later. Our own offices and teams abroad help with the submission of prints, and the same team coordinates the apostille or a certified translation if you need one.

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 the préfecture 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 at your home or office in Cannes. Steps 2 to 5 in our own office in the issuing country. Step 6 back to you in Cannes. 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 Cannes 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 France 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 Sophie. She lives in Cannes and needs an RCMP Criminal Record Check for a hotel management post in Vancouver.

Sophie is a composite of the clients we meet every week. Here is how her clearance goes when she arranges the fingerprints and manages the rest herself, and how it goes when Globeia handles the complete file.

On her own

A quick print in Cannes, then a restart

  1. Week 1
    A shop near the station.

    A shop near Cannes station takes her prints on an FD-258, the FBI's card.

  2. Week 4
    Wrong form, nothing sent.

    The RCMP Criminal Record Check requires a C-216C. Nothing reaches Ottawa, so she starts again.

  3. Week 6
    A second appointment.

    New prints on a C-216C, through a vendor that is not RCMP-accredited and passes the file on.

  4. Week 14
    Result, but no plan.

    The result arrives. Nobody has checked whether her employer in Canada needs anything more.

  5. Week 16
    Start date moved.

    Two providers, two couriers, and her start date in Vancouver delayed.

With Globeia

One visit in Cannes, the right form first time

  1. Day 1
    Printed at home in La Californie.

    Our associate checks her passport and takes her prints on the C-216C, checking each impression.

  2. Week 1
    Into the accredited route.

    Globeia Incorporated in Toronto submits her file through the RCMP-accredited channel.

  3. Week 2
    One screen for every step.

    Sophie follows each stage in Globeia SmartPortal.

  4. Week 4
    Result checked.

    The result is in English, so her Canadian employer needs no translation.

  5. Week 5
    Ready to start.

    One invoice. Her start date in Vancouver does not change.

Verified identity

Every Completed Appointment Comes With a Letter of Identity Verification

We check your face and your ID before we take a single print. Because the appointment happens at your address rather than in an office, the letter matters even more: it lets any authority confirm who was fingerprinted, by whom, and where and when it happened.

  • FaceId Verified

    Confirms that your identity was verified before your fingerprints were collected by a trained Globeia Fingerprinting Officer.

  • Fingerprints Professionally Collected

    Confirms that your fingerprints were captured following Globeia's fingerprinting and identity verification procedures.

  • Unique Encrypted QR Code

    Every letter carries a unique encrypted QR code for secure verification of the document.

  • Built for Verification

    The letter provides an additional layer of transparency for organisations reviewing your fingerprinting documentation, including employers, licensing authorities and other authorised recipients.

✓Identity Verified✓Encrypted QR Code✓Every Appointment

The Letter of Identity Verification is issued by Globeia and is not issued by, endorsed by, or affiliated with any government authority.

    “I had a great experience with Globeia! I’m currently living in Australia and needed help obtaining my Canadian police check. Even from overseas, their team made the process smooth and stress-free. They were responsive, professional, and kept me updated every step of the way. I received my document quickly and without any issues. I highly recommend Globeia to anyone who needs assistance with background checks, especially if you’re applying from abroad. Thank you, Globeia!”
    Ana Paula OliveiraGoogle review
  • ★★★★★
    “They did a fantastic job on various apostilles from out of country, as well as foreign fingerprint conversion. Very professional and responsive, both through their portal and via email. They proved to be trustworthy and reliable throughout the process. Definitely would use them again for future document services needs.”
    John SlobodaGoogle review
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.
