• The Process •

How Globeia Geneva Fingerprinting Process Works

The Process

Step 1

Step 1: Appointment Booking & Pre-Verification

You have to complete the online SmartForm providing all details requested, like the purpose of the check and the destination country. Choose a convenient time and location for the mobile visit. Before confirmation, you’ll undergo a Face ID verification to confirm your identity.

Step 2

Step 2: On-Site Fingerprint Collection

A trained Globeia associate arrives at your location fully equipped with the necessary kits and fingerprint cards: FD-258 or FD-1164 for FBI background checks and C216C or equivalent for RCMP criminal record checks. Keep two government IDs handy, like passport or driver’s license, as your identity will be verified by the associates using these documents.

Step 3

Step 3: Fingerprint Quality Checks and Review

The associate reviews every impression on the spot for ridge clarity and completeness. They aim for maximum accuracy, compliant to international acceptance standards, re-rolling prints immediately if any smudge or light ink is detected.

Step 4

Step 4: Letter of Identity Verification

Unique to Globeia, every appointment includes the issuance of a QR-coded Letter of Identity Verification. This document confirms that the prints were collected by a trained associate following proper identity verification protocols. The Letter of Identity Verification is issued by Globeia and is not issued by, endorsed by, or affiliated with the RCMP, the FBI, or any government authority.

Step 5

Step 5: Secure Submission Coordination

Once the prints are captured and cards are reviewed for quality, Globeia Geneva team moves to the process of getting them to the relevant authority. This is how it’s done:

FBI Background Check: FD-258/FD-1164 fingerprint cards are couriered to Globeia Inc. in the USA, from where they’re processed and submitted to the FBI.

RCMP Criminal Record Check: C216C or equivalent cards are couriered to Globeia Incorporated in Canada for digitization and submission to the RCMP.

You can track the complete status of your application through the Globeia SmartPortal.

Step 6

Step 6: Delivery of Official Results

Once your criminal record checks are issued by the relevant authorities like the FBI or RCMP, Globeia helps with their delivery to you in Geneva. You may choose to receive your documents by official email, courier delivery to your address, or both. We can also deliver the results directly to a third party, such as an employer, law firm, licensing body, or government institution.

Note: The turnaround times for criminal record checks are determined entirely by the official issuing agencies. These timelines can vary based on individual circumstances, current application volumes, government holidays, etc. Globeia has no authority to expedite or influence these timelines and is not responsible for any delays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please feel free to contact us for anything if you don't find answers to your questions.

Globeia Geneva provides professional ink fingerprinting services across Geneva and surrounding areas. Unlike fixed-location fingerprint providers, Globeia operates as a fully mobile service, where a trained associate comes to your home, office, or any convenient location of your choice.

The on-site fingerprinting appointment takes just around 15-20 minutes. This includes identity verification, ink rolling on the appropriate cards, and a quality review by the associate.

The processing of your fingerprint cards is coordinated from right here in Geneva by Globeia. Fingerprints are captured on the official cards at your location. These cards are then couriered to Globeia Inc. in the USA, which processes and submits them directly to the FBI's CJIS system on your behalf.

You will need two valid government-issued IDs at your appointment. At least one of them should include your photo and signature. For example, a passport and a driver's licence.

Yes, the FBI accepts ink fingerprints captured on standard FD-258 or FD-1164 cards rolled using black ink, preferably by trained and qualified associates.

Your fingerprints are mostly rolled once onto a single official card. But if you need a second card as a spare set, your Globeia associate can roll a second card at the same appointment upon request.

An apostille cannot be placed on the criminal record check itself while you are in Geneva, it must be obtained in the country that issued the document. Globeia can help process all apostille requests through the relevant authorities.
