A real company, with real offices

From Ireland to Washington, D.C. or Toronto - One Team. No Outsourcing.

A trained Globeia associate takes your prints at your home, office, or hotel across Ireland. Globeia Inc. in Washington, D.C. submits every FBI Background Check. Globeia Incorporated in Toronto submits every RCMP Criminal Record Check. Apostille and translation handled by the same team. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. Where is my FBI fingerprint card submitted from, and who checked every impression before it left Ireland?

    A card sent to the FBI from Ireland without proper quality checks is one of the most common reasons applications are rejected. Globeia Inc. in Washington, D.C. submits directly to the FBI CJIS Division from inside the United States. Before the card leaves Ireland, a trained Globeia associate reviews every impression on your FD-258 or FD-1164 card against the FBI's exact acceptance criteria.

  3. Who orders the apostille and certified translation, and do both arrive in the same file?

    Ireland-based applicants often need their clearance apostilled and translated before any authority will accept it. Globeia's own offices order the U.S. Department of State or Global Affairs Canada apostille and arrange any certified translation the receiving authority requires, in the correct sequence. 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.
