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
  • ✕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 Dublin. Steps 2 to 5 in our own office in the issuing country. Step 6 back to you in Dublin. 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 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 Dublin 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 Ireland 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 Conor and Aoife. They live in Dublin and need an FBI Background Check and an RCMP Criminal Record Check to lodge their skilled visa applications for Australia.

Conor and Aoife are a composite of the clients we see every week. Here is how their clearance goes when they do the fingerprints and manage the rest themselves, and how it goes when Globeia runs the whole file.

On their own

Two Dublin appointments, two forms, months of waiting

  1. Week 1
    Aoife in town, Conor in Swords.

    Aoife is printed near St Stephen's Green on a Tuesday. Conor's only slot is the Saturday after.

  2. Week 3
    Conor's card bounces.

    Two of his impressions are smudged. His FBI Background Check goes back to Step 1.

  3. Week 5
    Aoife needs another form.

    Her Canadian prints went on an FD-258. The RCMP Criminal Record Check wants a C-216C, so she books again.

  4. Week 14
    Results arrive months apart.

    Aoife's come back in spring. Conor's last one lands just before summer.

  5. Week 26
    The visa is finally lodged.

    Five appointments, three couriers and a move to Melbourne delayed by half a year.

With Globeia

Both of them printed in one Dublin visit

  1. Day 1
    Both printed at home in Clontarf.

    Our associate takes FD-258 and C-216C cards for each of them in one sitting.

  2. Week 1
    FD-258 to Washington, C-216C to Toronto.

    Each card goes to the Globeia office that submits it, in the same week.

  3. Week 3
    Both files on one screen.

    Conor and Aoife track all four submissions together in Globeia SmartPortal.

  4. Week 6
    Results in, dates aligned.

    The four results arrive in one week, all in English and ready to upload for Home Affairs.

  5. Week 7
    Both visas lodged together.

    One invoice. Both sets of results are current on the day they lodge.

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

The Letter of Identity Verification is issued by Globeia and is not issued by, endorsed by, or affiliated with any government authority.

Apostille and Legalisation for Documents From Abroad

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.
