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 Nice. Steps 2 to 5 in our own office in the issuing country. Step 6 back to you in Nice. 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 Nice 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 Julien and Claire. They live in Nice and need an FBI Background Check and a South African police clearance for their move to Australia.

Julien and Claire are a composite of the clients we meet every week. Here is how their clearance goes when they arrange the fingerprints and manage the rest themselves, and how it goes when Globeia handles the complete file.

On their own

Two Nice appointments, two forms, two deadlines

  1. Week 1
    Two dates, two shops.

    Julien has his prints taken near Nice-Ville station. Claire waits two weeks for the next free appointment.

  2. Week 3
    One form never filled.

    The shop only has FD-258 cards. The South African clearance requires its own fingerprint form.

  3. Week 10
    Results trickle in.

    Julien's and Claire's FBI Background Check results arrive. The South African ones are still weeks away.

  4. Week 30
    Julien's result expires.

    When the visa application finally opens, his FBI Background Check is too old to use.

  5. Week 36
    Lodged at last.

    Five fingerprinting sessions, two couriers, and their daughter's school start in Perth missed.

With Globeia

One morning in Nice, both of them printed

  1. Day 1
    Both printed at home in Cimiez.

    Two FD-258 cards and two South African forms, with each print checked while they wait.

  2. Week 1
    Two routes, one file.

    The FD-258 cards go to Washington, DC. The South African forms follow their own route, under the same file.

  3. Week 3
    Side by side in SmartPortal.

    Julien and Claire see all four submissions progress at the same pace.

  4. Week 8
    Results land together.

    Both sets arrive within days. Australia accepts English, so no sworn French translation is needed.

  5. Week 9
    Visa file lodged.

    One invoice. Both clearances are valid when Home Affairs opens the file.

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.

    “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Service – Fast, Reliable, and Highly Recommended! I used Globeia to obtain my Canadian background check for a U.S. visa, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their service. Even though I’m currently living outside Canada , I received my background check results in just 9 days much faster than I expected! Thank you, Globeia, for a smooth and successful experience!”
    Edilson CruzGoogle review

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.

Mobile fingerprinting across Nice

Parking is difficult in Vieux Nice and the hill roads above the Port are slow, so we come to you instead. Choose your home in Mont Boron, your office at Arénas or a hotel lobby on the Promenade. You give the place and the time when you book.
