A real company, with real offices
From Kuwait to Our U.S. and Canada Offices
Your fingerprint appointment happens at a location that's convenient for you. After collection, your file is managed by Globeia's own teams in Washington, DC and Toronto, giving you one trusted provider from start to finish.
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
Where is my FBI application sent from, and who checks the card before it leaves Kuwait?
Globeia Inc. in Washington, DC submits it to the FBI CJIS Division from inside the United States, after a trained associate in Kuwait has reviewed every impression on your FD-258 or FD-1164 card.
2
Kuwait does not accept apostilles. Who arranges the authentication and the embassy legalisation?
Our own offices, in order For an FBI result: U.S. Department of State authentication, then legalisation at the Embassy of Kuwait in Washington, DC. For an RCMP result: Global Affairs Canada authentication, then legalisation at the Embassy of Kuwait in Ottawa. Where the Ministry of Interior also expects a stamp from Kuwait's foreign ministry, we tell you before you pay. The legal Arabic translation follows, in the same file.
3
Who will actually take my fingerprints in Kuwait?
A trained Globeia associate visits your home, office or hotel, first in Kuwait City, Sharq, Salmiya and Hawalli, checks your face against your government ID and reviews every impression before the card leaves. While we launch, each visit is confirmed in writing, with its date and estimate, before you pay.
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.

On the day
What to Expect on the Day of Your Appointment
Wondering how the appointment works? Here's a simple step-by-step guide so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish.
Before the visit
1Confirmation by email with your associate's name, the arrival window and what to prepare: two forms of identification and a table to work at.
2A reminder the day before, with a direct contact for the associate on the day.
3Change the time if you need to. We ask only for reasonable notice; the terms are in your confirmation.
During the visit · 15 to 30 minutes per person
1Arrival at the agreed time. The associate presents Globeia identification.
2Identity check. Passport or residence card, plus a Face ID match.
3Fingerprinting on the correct card. Each impression is checked on the spot and retaken if needed, at no extra charge.
4Your Letter of Identity Verification is issued.
5Cards couriered to Globeia Inc. or Globeia Incorporated. Tracking appears in your SmartPortal.
One step, or all six
How to tell a one-step fingerprint shop, or an online "all-in-one" website, from a provider that can actually run the whole process
Local shops do one thing well: they take prints, in one city. Online services promise everything and own nothing. Globeia is the only provider with its own offices at both ends of your file.

RCMP accreditation is held exclusively by Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Globeia in Kuwait 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.
One clearance, two ways to get it
Meet Thomas. He lives in Kuwait and needs an FBI Background Check for his Kuwaiti work residence.
Thomas is a composite of the clients Globeia serves in its live markets: a nurse who trained and worked in Texas before taking a hospital post in Kuwait City. Here is how the clearance goes when he does the fingerprints and manages the rest alone, and how it goes when Globeia runs the whole file.
On his own
Fingerprints in Kuwait, everything else by post and email
Week 1
Gets fingerprinted locally.
A local police station or shop rolls the FD-258 card, and Thomas posts it to a U.S. vendor he has never spoken to.
Week 4
Card rejected.
Two impressions are unreadable. Nobody checked before it shipped. Back to step one.
Week 7
Result arrives, not yet legalised.
Thomas now needs U.S. Department of State authentication, then legalisation at the Embassy of Kuwait in Washington, DC: two more offices, two more couriers, and the original posted again.
Week 12
Legalisation back. Translation refused.
The translator he found is not one the Ministry of Interior accepts: the file needs a legal Arabic translation.
Week 15
Finally files.
Four providers, four invoices, and months gone.
With Globeia
One visit in Kuwait City, one file, one team
Day 1
Requests a visit, pays once.
Identity checked at his door in Kuwait City, prints reviewed on the spot, Letter of Identity Verification issued.
Week 1
Card lands at Globeia Washington, DC.
Submitted to the FBI by our own team. Thomas follows it in Globeia SmartPortal.
Week 3
Result received and checked.
Authentication requested the same day, then legalisation at the Embassy of Kuwait in Washington, DC, by the same team.
Week 8
Legal Arabic translation done.
By a translator the Ministry of Interior accepts, ordered after the authentication and legalisation so nothing is done twice.
Week 9
Ready-to-file clearance in hand.
One invoice, one reference, and the file ready for his Kuwaiti work residence.

Fingerprinting in Kuwait: Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we hear most often from Kuwait. Not here? Book a free consultation.
We are opening Kuwait in order of request. Send a free appointment request with your town and when you need the visit; we reply within 24 hours, and as soon as we can serve your area we send a confirmed date and a written estimate. Nothing is paid until you accept it.
At your home, office or hotel. The first visits are planned in Kuwait City, Sharq, Salmiya, Hawalli, Jabriya and Mishref, with Jahra, Sabah Al Salem, Abu Halifa, Mahboula, Mangaf and other towns by arrangement. The directory on this page lists every town and area we will cover, region by region. Not in the list? Send a request with your town and we will plan the nearest possible visit.
Usually, yes. Kuwait is not part of the Apostille Convention, so a foreign police certificate for a Kuwaiti residence or work file is generally authenticated in the issuing country, legalised by the Kuwaiti embassy there and then attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kuwait, often with a legal Arabic translation. Our full support plan arranges the U.S. or Canadian steps; check the exact list with your sponsor or employer.
No. A Kuwaiti good conduct certificate covers Kuwait and is issued by the Ministry of Interior. A police certificate from the United States, Canada or another country you lived in needs your fingerprints on that country's own form, and that is what Globeia takes.
Yes. We take your prints on an FD-258 or FD-1164 card wherever you are in Kuwait, and the card goes to Globeia in Washington, DC. Our own staff submit it to the FBI, check the result and arrange the U.S. Department of State authentication, then legalisation at the Embassy of Kuwait and any translation your file needs. You can follow every step in Globeia SmartPortal.
Yes, by arrangement. Visits to Jahra, Ahmadi, Fahaheel, Mangaf, Abu Halifa and the rest of the south are planned around your dates, with any travel fee shown in writing in your estimate before you pay.
You can submit an appointment request with your details and requirements. A Globeia team member will confirm availability, location, and the next steps.
Yes. We take your prints on the C-216C form, and Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, which holds the RCMP accreditation, submits the file. When the result arrives, we arrange the Global Affairs Canada authentication, then legalisation at the Embassy of Kuwait and any translation your file needs.
We use the fingerprint card required by the relevant authority, such as FBI FD-258, RCMP fingerprint forms, or other official forms based on your application.
15 to 30 minutes from the moment the associate arrives. We check your ID against your face, roll each finger on the card and check every impression before we leave, so the card is not rejected later.
Yes. Globeia can arrange group fingerprinting appointments for companies, recruitment agencies, schools, hospitals, and other organisations.
Yes. Every completed appointment comes with a Letter of Identity Verification. It confirms who was fingerprinted, when and by whom, and carries an encrypted QR code that anyone you send it to can check.
