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
  • ✕You find a certified translator the Immigration Services Agency will accept
  • ✕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 Tokyo. Steps 2 to 5 in our own office in the issuing country. Step 6 back to you in Tokyo. 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 and certified translation 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 Tokyo 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 Japan 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 Kenji. He lives in Tokyo and needs an FBI Background Check for his move to Australia.

Kenji is preparing documents for use overseas. Here is how the process can go when he manages every step himself, and how much simpler it becomes when Globeia coordinates it for him.

On their own

Two schedules in Tokyo, four cards, one deadline

  1. Week 1
    Gets fingerprinted locally.

    Kenji visits a fingerprinting provider in Tokyo and sends the FD-258 card himself.

  2. Week 3
    Fingerprint card rejected.

    Some impressions are unclear. The card has already been sent, so Kenji must book another appointment and send a replacement.

  3. Week 10
    FBI result arrives.

    His FBI Background Check finally arrives, but Kenji now has to find out what is needed to use the document in Australia.

  4. Week 17
    Additional document requirements slow him down.

    He looks for the right provider, arranges the document handling and manages the paperwork separately.

  5. Week 23
    Finally ready to submit.

    Several providers, separate payments, and weeks spent coordinating each step around his move to Australia.

With Globeia

One visit in Tokyo, one tracked file

  1. Day 1
    Books online and gets fingerprinting in Tokyo

    Kenji's identity is verified, his fingerprints are checked before he leaves, and his application is prepared correctly from the beginning.

  2. Week 1
    Fingerprint card reaches Globeia Washington, DC.

    Globeia's team receives the card and submits the FBI application. Kenji can follow the progress in his SmartPortal account.

  3. Week 3
    FBI result received and checked.

    When the Background Check arrives, Globeia reviews the result and moves the file to the next step.

  4. Week 6
    Documents prepared for use in Australia.

    The remaining document requirements are handled in order, so Kenji does not need to manage separate providers himself.

  5. Week 7
    Ready for his move to Australia.

    One team coordinates the file from fingerprints to final documents. One invoice. One place to follow the process.

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.

    “Globeia you have saved me from a lot of stress . I live overseas and needed a criminal record check and they were very quick to process things . Mailing took a little time and got me worried for a second but thanks to globeia everything went smoothly . Thank you !”
    Chan MayachanGoogle review
  • ★★★★★
    “I usually don't write reviews, but I was so pleased with the service I received that I felt compelled to share my experience. Recently, I needed to obtain an RCMP Background Check from outside of Canada, followed by an Apostille Certificate for a visa application overseas. The process was fairly straightforward, and Globeia assisted me with the entire process, starting with the RCMP Background Check, then obtaining the Apostille, and finally mailing the physical documents to me in South Korea via UPS.”

Apostille and legalisation, from the U.S., Canada and beyond

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.

Few people in Tokyo can take a weekday off to travel across the city for fingerprints, so the associate comes to you. Choose your apartment in Setagaya or Azabu, your office in Marunouchi, or a hotel lobby in Roppongi. You set the address and the time when you book.
