How an advance reservation works · 事前予約の流れ

Outside Tokyo, a little notice lets us bring the same service to your door.

One associate serves all of Japan outside Tokyo, so dates are arranged in order of request and travel is planned for each visit. This is why we ask for your preferred dates first and confirm everything in writing before you pay.

  1. 1You · about 2 minutes
    Send your request

    Choose your city, your clearance and three preferred dates (第1〜第3希望). It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

  2. 2Globeia · within 2 business days
    We arrange the associate's travel

    We coordinate the date with our Tokyo associate and plan the journey to your area. You receive a confirmed date and a written estimate (お見積り) that lists the plan, government fees at cost and the travel fee.

  3. 3You, then us
    Confirm, and we come to you

    Pay only once you are satisfied with the estimate. On the day, the associate arrives at the agreed time with every card and form needed, and the remaining five steps begin.

A real company, with real offices · 会社概要

No Fixed Counter in Japan. Our Own Offices in the U.S. and Canada Carry Your File.

A Tokyo-based associate trained to FBI and RCMP standards captures your prints on-location. From there, Globeia Inc. in Washington, DC and Globeia Incorporated in Toronto directly manage your submission, apostille, and translation. Their physical addresses are listed 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.
Points for choosing a provider · 選び方のポイント

Three things to confirm before you entrust anyone with your fingerprints.

  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 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 our associate in Japan has reviewed every impression on your FD-258 or FD-1164 card with you.

  3. Who orders the apostille and the Japanese translation, and do they arrive in the same file?

    Our own offices order the U.S. Department of State or Global Affairs Canada apostille, then a certified Japanese translation with a translator's certificate (翻訳証明書), notarized when the receiving office requires it. 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 associate is trained on exactly those criteria and checks each impression with you before leaving.

  2. 2A reminder the day before, with a direct contact for the associate on the day.
  3. 3Change the time if you need to. We ask only for reasonable notice; the terms are in your confirmation.

How a self-arranged clearance compares with Globeia's one-stop service

Many clients first try to arrange each step themselves. It can work, but each step happens in a different country and a minor mistake at any stage sends your file back to the start. Here is what each path involves.

What you needLocal fingerprint shopArranging it yourselfWith Globeia

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 JP¥15,000 tax included.

The authorities set the timeline. Your fingerprinting date is the one part you control.

Same-day and next-day mobile appointments are available across Tokyo. For all other prefectures in Japan, booking early secures your preferred date, minimizes travel fees, and ensures processing begins the moment your prints are captured.

RCMP Accreditation & Processing Disclaimer

RCMP accreditation is held exclusively by Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Globeia in Japan is not RCMP-accredited, and Globeia is not endorsed by the RCMP, the FBI, FINRA, or any government authority. Fingerprints for the RCMP Criminal Record Check are collected in ink on the official C-216C form and mailed to Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, which submits them to the RCMP. All Criminal Record Checks, FBI Identity History Summaries and regulatory results are issued directly by the respective authority, not Globeia.

Case example

Case Study: Mr. S in Fukuoka Needs an FBI Police Clearance for Canadian PR

A Japanese engineer who worked in California and now lives 900 km from Tokyo. The same clearance two ways: arranging each step himself, or one Globeia advance reservation.

On his own

A card printed at home, and every step by post and email

  1. Week 1
    Prints an FD-258 card and visits the Fukuoka Prefectural Police.

    They roll ink impressions on his form, but provide no quality checks and no further support. He mails the paper card to West Virginia himself.

  2. Week 5
    The FBI rejects the card.

    The FBI rejects the submission due to smudged rolled impressions and wrong card stock. Mr. S is back to Step 1, losing four crucial weeks.

  3. Week 9
    Result arrives, in English, unapostilled.

    He now posts the original to the U.S. Department of State and waits again.

  4. Week 15
    Apostille back. Translation questioned.

    His translation carries no translator's certificate, so his representative asks for it to be redone.

  5. Week 18
    Finally files.

    Four providers, four payments, one deadline missed.

With Globeia · advance reservation

One request, one visit at home in Fukuoka, one file

  3. Week 3
    The associate visits his home in Fukuoka.

    Identity verified, prints checked on the spot, Letter of Identity Verification issued before the associate leaves.

  4. Week 4

    Submitted to the FBI by our own team. Mr. S watches it move in his SmartPortal.
