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

For international police clearances in Paris, Globeia combines local fingerprint collection with processing through our teams in the U.S. and Canada. An associate can visit your apartment, hotel or office across areas such as Le Marais, Montmartre, Saint-Germain or La Défense.

We support FBI and RCMP fingerprinting requirements and can coordinate the next documentation stages, including apostille and sworn French translation. This keeps the process with one provider rather than multiple intermediaries, with services starting from €125.

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 Paris. Steps 2 to 5 in our own office in the issuing country. Step 6 back to you in Paris. 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 Paris 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 Nathan. He lives in Paris and needs an FBI Police Clearance for his French naturalisation file.

Nathan is a composite of the clients we meet every week. Here is how his clearance goes when he arranges the fingerprints and manages the rest himself, and how it goes when Globeia handles the complete file.

On his own

Prints in Paris, then post across the Atlantic

  1. Week 1
    Printed at a photo shop.

    A shop near Gare du Nord takes his prints on an FD-258 and posts it to an online vendor.

  2. Week 5
    Card bounced back.

    Three impressions are smudged, and nobody checked them before the card left Paris. He books a second set of prints.

  3. Week 10
    Result lands, no apostille.

    The préfecture will not accept it in that form. The original goes back across the Atlantic.

  4. Week 14
    Translation turned down.

    A bilingual friend translated it. The préfecture requires a sworn translator from a court of appeal list.

  5. Week 17
    Files at last.

    Four providers, three couriers, and his naturalisation appointment at the préfecture moved to a later date.

With Globeia

Prints at home in Paris, then one team

  1. Day 1
    Prints taken at home in the 11th.

    Identity checked, every impression inspected on the spot, and the Letter of Identity Verification handed over.

  2. Week 1
    FD-258 lands in Washington, DC.

    Submitted to the FBI from there, while Nathan follows it in SmartPortal from his desk near République.

  3. Week 3
    Result reviewed the same day.

    Then directly to the U.S. apostille, with no new paperwork for Nathan.

  4. Week 6
    Sworn French translation done.

    Prepared by a translator on a court of appeal list, after the apostille was returned.

  5. Week 7
    Ready for the préfecture.

    One invoice. His naturalisation file is submitted complete, on the date he booked.

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

What Our Clients Say

A selection of reviews of Globeia from our Google Business Profile, shown as they were written.

  • ★★★★★
    “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
  • ★★★★★
    “Globeia's team is dependable, very communicative, and efficient. Their turnaround time is stellar, I would recommend their services to anyone and everyone!”
    Liv ZelaznyGoogle review
  • ★★★★★
    “I usually don't write reviews, but I was so pleased with the service I received that I felt compelled to share my experience. Recently, I needed to obtain an RCMP Background Check from outside of Canada, followed by an Apostille Certificate for a visa application overseas. The process was fairly straightforward, and Globeia assisted me with the entire process, starting with the RCMP Background Check, then obtaining the Apostille, and finally mailing the physical documents to me in South Korea via UPS.”

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.
