Fingerprinting Services in Hong Kong for RCMP, FBI and More with Globeia

Need fingerprinting services in Hong Kong for an overseas background check? Globeia takes you from fingerprints to finished documents without the usual chain of separate providers. Our trained associates capture fingerprints on the correct country-specific forms for FBI Identity History Summary Checks, RCMP Criminal Record Checks, FINRA registration, immigration, employment, and professional licensing.

Globeia’s offices in the U.S. and Canada handle the international submission and processing directly, with apostille and certified translation coordinated as part of the same file. Track everything in SmartPortal - one team, one process, from HK$865.

Need More Than Fingerprinting? Complete Support, Without the Middlemen.

Most fingerprinting providers in Hong Kong stop at Step 1 - prints rolled, card handed over, everything else left with you. Globeia handles all six steps. Every RCMP submission goes through Globeia Incorporated in Toronto. Every FBI submission goes through Globeia Inc. in Washington, D.C. No outsourcing. No third parties. Your case moves from fingerprint collection directly into Globeia's own accredited team.

  2. Step 2Secure international transferHong Kong → Washington, DC

  6. Step 6DeliveryBack to you in Hong Kong
Option A · Fingerprints only

Globeia handles Step 1. Steps 2 through 6 are yours to manage.

Your prints are captured on the correct card, your identity is verified, and a Letter of Identity Verification is issued. From there, you take responsibility for international courier arrangements, authority submission, and apostille processing 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
  • ✕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

Globeia handles all six steps. You attend one appointment.

Step 1 takes place at your home or office in Hong Kong. Steps 2 through 5 are handled inside the issuing country, by Globeia's own accredited office. Step 6 delivers the completed, apostilled result back to your Hong Kong address. One team. One file. No third parties at any point.

  • ✓Card checked before it ships, so it is not rejected later
  • ✓Submitted by our own accredited office, from inside the country
  • ✓Apostille 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 Hong Kong is not independently RCMP-accredited, and Globeia is not endorsed by the RCMP, the FBI, or FINRA. Electronic RCMP submission is coordinated through the appropriate Canadian processing route. Claims of direct RCMP digital submission from Hong Kong should be treated with caution. All Criminal Record Check certificates, FBI Identity History Summaries, and regulatory results are issued by the respective government authority, not by Globeia.

One clearance, two ways to get it

Meet Kelvin. He lives in Hong Kong and needs an FBI Background Check, apostilled, for an E-2 teaching visa in South Korea.

Kelvin is a composite of the clients we see every week. Here is how his clearance goes when he does the fingerprints and manages the rest himself, and how it goes when Globeia runs the whole file.

On his own

From Hong Kong to Seoul, the long way round

  1. Week 1
    Printed in Mong Kok.

    A small shop rolls his prints, and he posts the card to the FBI himself.

  2. Week 4
    Card returned by the FBI.

    Smudged ink makes two fingers unreadable, so he is back to Step 1.

  3. Week 9
    Result in, no apostille.

    Korea wants an apostille from the U.S. Department of State, so the original goes back across the Pacific.

  4. Week 15
    Apostille back, school waiting.

    The school in Seoul has already moved his start date once.

  5. Week 18
    Visa issued, term missed.

    Three couriers, two print sessions, and the first weeks of the semester lost.

With Globeia

One visit to his Hong Kong flat, apostille included

  1. Day 1
    Prints taken in Sai Ying Pun.

    Our associate rolls an FD-258 at his flat and checks every finger before the card is sealed.

  2. Week 1
    At Globeia Washington, DC.

    Our own staff submit the card to the FBI, and Kelvin tracks it in Globeia SmartPortal from Hong Kong.

  3. Week 3
    Result back and reviewed.

    Fingerprint-based, nationwide and in English: the version the Korean consulate expects.

  4. Week 4
    Apostille ordered next.

    Requested from the U.S. Department of State the same week, with nothing posted back to him first.

  5. Week 7
    Ready for the consulate.

    One invoice. The apostilled FBI Background Check goes into his E-2 file on time.

Verified identity

Every Appointment Comes With a Letter of Identity Verification

Because the appointment takes place at your address rather than in a registered office, Globeia issues a formal Letter of Identity Verification at the conclusion of every completed appointment. The letter allows any receiving authority to confirm exactly who was fingerprinted, by whom, and precisely where and when the appointment took place.

  • 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.

Sample copy for illustration. Real letters carry a unique reference and an encrypted QR code.
Beyond the FBI and RCMP

Fingerprinting Services in Hong Kong for Police Clearances Worldwide

Many residents leaving Hong Kong move to Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa - and a single Globeia appointment can cover multiple clearances in one visit. Bankers in Central preparing FINRA registrations and families in Sai Kung finalising their Australian migration paperwork book the same way. Whatever the destination authority, your prints go onto its own required card or into its own required format.

    “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!”

    “I am quite pleased with the help and Support that was provided by Globeia to me. At every step they were quite responsive and prompt in their replies. At every stage of my application for OCT, the support provided by Globeia was quite useful. They went ahead to help me the requirements of my application beyond the call of duty. e.g. Suggesting quoting application number along with the reports. Thank You Globeia.”

Birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, police reports, powers of attorney, and company documents - Globeia coordinates apostille and legalisation for use in any country, without you needing to travel or manage the process independently.

  • 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 Hong Kong - We Come to You

A Globeia associate comes to your chosen location - your home, your office, or anywhere else in the city - and completes the full appointment, identity check included, in 15 to 30 minutes.

Who we serve

Who uses Globeia in Hong Kong

Most Globeia clients in Hong Kong need a clearance to leave, not to stay - for a new teaching post, a move to Canada or Australia, a professional licence in another jurisdiction, or an immigration application that cannot proceed without one.

  • Americans and Canadians in Hong Kong

    FBI Identity History Summary Check or RCMP Criminal Record Check fingerprinting, collected at your flat and submitted to the right authority without you managing the process across two countries.

  • English teachers

    Apostilled clearances for E-2 visas in South Korea and teaching placements across Asia. One appointment. Apostille included.

  • Bankers and lawyers

    FINRA registrations and bar admission clearances for professionals based in Central and Admiralty who cannot afford a rejection or a delay.
