No External Vendor. Our Own Offices in the U.S. and Canada Carry Your File

A trained Globeia associate visits you to provide in-person fingerprinting services in South Korea. Globeia Inc. in Washington, DC and Globeia Incorporated in Toronto submit your application to the FBI and RCMP.

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 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 a trained associate in South Korea has reviewed every impression on your FD-258 or FD-1164 card.

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

    Our own offices order the U.S. Department of State apostille or the Global Affairs Canada apostille, then any translation the receiving office asks for, in the right order. 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.

Local Fingerprinting Shop vs. Online “All-in-One” vs. Globeia

A local shop can take your fingerprints. An online service may coordinate the paperwork. Globeia combines in-person fingerprinting with its own offices in Canada and the U.S., giving you one provider to handle more of the process from capture through submission.

One clearance, two ways to get it

Meet Ji-hoon. He lives in South Korea and needs an FBI Police Clearance for his Canadian immigration application.

Ji-hoon is a composite of the clients we see every week. He studied in the U.S. years ago, so Canada wants an FBI record on top of his Korean one. Let's see how his clearance goes when he manages it himself vs when he chooses Globeia.

On his own

Fingerprints in South Korea, everything else by post and email

  1. Week 1
    Gets fingerprinted locally.

    The shop posts the card to a U.S. vendor Ji-hoon has never spoken to.

  2. Week 4
    Card rejected.

    Two impressions are unreadable. Nobody checked before it shipped. Back to Step 1.

  3. Week 7
    Result arrives, in English, unapostilled.

    Ji-hoon now has to find an apostille provider in the U.S. and post the original again.

  4. Week 15
    Finally files.

    Four providers, four invoices, one missed visa appointment.

With Globeia

One appointment in South Korea, one file, one team

  1. Day 1
    Books online, pays once.

  2. Week 1

  3. Week 3
    Result received and checked.

    Apostille requested the same day, no re-posting, no new provider.

  4. Week 7
    Ready-to-file clearance in hand.
