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 Lyon. Steps 2 to 5 in our own office in the issuing country. Step 6 back to you in Lyon. 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 Lyon 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 Isabelle. She lives in Lyon and needs an RCMP Criminal Record Check for her registration with the Ordre des médecins.

Isabelle 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 Lyon kiosk, the wrong form and a restart

  1. Week 1
    Printed near Part-Dieu.

    A kiosk near the station takes her prints and promises a fast Canadian result.

  2. Week 4
    Wrong form, wrong vendor.

    Her prints were taken on an FD-258 by a vendor that is not RCMP-accredited. Nothing reaches Ottawa.

  3. Week 8
    The file restarts.

    New prints on a C-216C, a second fee, and the Ordre's deadline getting closer.

  4. Week 13
    No Canadian apostille.

    Nobody told her that Global Affairs Canada issues it. She posts the original to Ottawa herself.

  5. Week 18
    Registration on hold.

    Three providers, two sets of prints, and a hospital start date in Lyon delayed by several months.

With Globeia

Her prints taken once in Lyon, filed correctly

  1. Day 1
    C-216C taken at home.

    Our associate takes her prints in Croix-Rousse and checks every impression before leaving.

  2. Week 1
    Submitted on the accredited route.

    Globeia Incorporated in Toronto submits it through the RCMP-accredited route. Nothing has to start again.

  3. Week 3
    Result read the day it lands.

    Isabelle sees it in SmartPortal. We then ask Global Affairs Canada for the Canadian apostille.

  4. Week 6
    Sworn French translation added.

    A translator sworn at the Lyon Court of Appeal works from the apostilled original.

  5. Week 7
    Ready for the Ordre.

    One invoice. Her registration file is complete before the hospital start date.

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.

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.
