Each city page lists the areas it covers, the visit options and the price, and the directory on this page shows every place we reach. Elsewhere, schedule a call and we will plan the nearest appointment.

How much does fingerprinting cost in France?

Other police clearances or Fingerprinting only starting from €110, FBI starting from €268 and RCMP starting from €284. You see the full price, including any mobile visit fee, before you pay.

How can I get an FBI Background Check while I'm in France?

You can get an FBI Background Check from France without travelling to the United States. Globeia makes it easier with FBI-compliant fingerprinting at your location, application guidance, and submission coordination through Globeia Inc. in the United States, helping you complete the process from France.

How do you process RCMP criminal record checks from France?

An associate captures your fingerprints on official Canadian C-216C cards in France. The card is then sent to our RCMP-accredited office, Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, which digitizes and submits your prints directly to the RCMP system inside Canada.

What other countries can I get fingerprinting for in France?

We take fingerprints for police clearances required by South Africa, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, the Gulf states, and many others. We also handle FINRA fingerprint cards for U.S. financial licensing.

How long does a fingerprinting appointment take?

15 to 30 minutes from the moment the associate arrives. We check your ID against your face, roll each finger on the card and check every impression before we leave, so the card is not rejected later.

Do I get proof that my fingerprints were taken by Globeia?

Yes. Every completed appointment comes with a Letter of Identity Verification. It confirms who was fingerprinted, when and by whom, and carries an encrypted QR code that anyone you send it to can check.

Can several people be fingerprinted in one visit?

Yes. Families, couples and teams can be fingerprinted together at one address, each with their own card, their own Letter of Identity Verification and their own tracked file.

A real company, with real offices

Our Own Offices in the U.S. and Canada Carry Your File

A trained associate in Spain takes your prints. Globeia Inc. in Washington, DC handles FBI submissions and Globeia Incorporated in Toronto handles fingerprint submission to the RCMP, plus apostille and translation; their addresses are below.

Glass-fronted office with people working at desks inside — Our own offices, Globeia Inc. in Washington, DC and Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, submit every FBI and RCMP file.

Three questions to ask any fingerprinting provider

The answers tell you whether your file will be done to the authority's rules, or to nobody's.

Who submits my fingerprints to the RCMP, and is that company on the RCMP's list of accredited fingerprinting companies?
The RCMP accredits no company outside Canada. Globeia Incorporated in Toronto is on the list and submits your C-216C electronically to CCRTIS from inside Canada.
Where is my FBI application mailed from, and who checked the card before it went?
Globeia Inc. in Washington, DC submits to the FBI CJIS Division from inside the United States, after a trained associate in France has reviewed every impression on your FD-258 or FD-1164 card.
Who orders the apostille, and any translation, and do they arrive in the same file?
Our own offices order the U.S. Department of State apostille or the Global Affairs Canada apostille, then any translation the receiving office asks for, in the right order. One file, one reference, one invoice.

A fingerprint card taken without reference to the authority's standards is just ink on paper: the wrong card stock, a missing rolled impression or an empty "taken by" box, and the application comes back weeks later. Our associates are trained on exactly those criteria.

One step, or all six

How to tell a one-step fingerprint shop, or an online "all-in-one" website, from a provider that can actually run the whole process

Local shops do one thing well: they take prints, in one city. Online services promise everything and own nothing. Globeia is the only provider with its own offices at both ends of your file.

What you need	Local fingerprint shop	Online "all-in-one" website	Globeia
Fingerprints taken in person, in France	In one city	✕ Posts you a kit, or sends you to a police station	✓ Associates in 39 cities, at your home, office or hotel
Card checked against FBI and RCMP standards before it ships	Varies	✕ Nobody checks	✓ Trained associates review every impression and retake it on the spot
Fingerprint submission to the RCMP	✕ None. You find an accredited company in Canada yourself	✕ None. The RCMP accredits no company outside Canada	✓ Globeia Incorporated, Toronto, on the RCMP's accredited list, submits to CCRTIS from inside Canada
FBI submission	✕ You post the card to the FBI yourself	Through a third-party vendor	✓ Globeia Inc., Washington, DC, from inside the United States
Apostille	✕ Not offered	Subcontracted, re-posted	✓ Ordered by our own offices in Washington, DC and Toronto: apostille, then any translation
Tracking	A receipt	Email, when it comes	✓ Globeia SmartPortal: one file, one reference, one invoice
Somewhere you can walk in	The shop	✕ No office anywhere	✓ Washington, DC and Toronto, and every address on this page

If you only need the fingerprints, we will happily take just the fingerprints, on the right card, with a Letter of Identity Verification, starting from €110. The comparison describes typical providers, not any named company.

The authorities set the clock. You control only when Step 1 happens.

★★★★★
“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!”
