RCMP Accreditation & Processing Disclaimer

RCMP accreditation is held exclusively by Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Globeia in Kuwait City 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 Imran. He lives in Kuwait City and needs an RCMP Criminal Record Check for his Kuwaiti work residence permit.

Imran is a composite of the clients we serve: a petroleum engineer who worked in Alberta for several years before joining an oil and gas contractor in Ahmadi. Here is how his clearance proceeds when he arranges the fingerprints and manages the rest himself, and how it proceeds when Globeia handles the complete file.

On his own

A local print shop, then a broken chain

  1. Fingerprints
    Prints at a shop in Fahaheel.

    A shop takes his prints, and Imran couriers the card to Canada with the CCRTIS-approved consent form he has filled in alone.

  2. Submission
    The card is sent back.

    Several impressions are smudged and the CCRTIS-approved consent form is incomplete, so he finds another provider and starts again.

  3. Result
    Result, but no stamps.

    The RCMP issues his certificate, but it still needs Global Affairs Canada authentication and legalisation at the Embassy of Kuwait in Ottawa.

  4. Translation
    The wrong translator.

    A general translator prepares the Arabic version, but his employer's PRO asks for a legal translation.

  5. Filing
    Residence file delayed.

    Two sets of prints, several couriers and a start date at the contractor pushed back.

With Globeia

One visit at his flat in Mangaf, nothing posted twice

  1. Appointment
    A visit in Mangaf.

    Passport and Civil ID checked, the official C-216C form and the CCRTIS-approved consent form completed with the associate, and every ink impression inspected at his table.

  2. Submission
    The card lands in Toronto.

    Globeia Incorporated submits his fingerprints to the RCMP and opens his file in Globeia SmartPortal.

  3. Result
    Result issued, then authenticated.

    The RCMP issues the result. Our Toronto team reviews it, then requests authentication from Global Affairs Canada.

  4. Legalisation
    Legalised at the Embassy of Kuwait.

    The Embassy of Kuwait in Ottawa legalises the certificate, and the legal Arabic translation is arranged straight after.

  5. Ready to file
    Ready for his residence file.

    One invoice and one reference, with a legalised and translated RCMP Criminal Record Check ready for his employer's Ministry of Interior file.

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

Document Authentication and Legalisation from the U.S., Canada and beyond

Kuwait does not accept apostilles, so documents from abroad are authenticated in the issuing country and then legalised by the Embassy of Kuwait there. Globeia handles this for police certificates, diplomas, birth and marriage certificates, and corporate documents, with a legal Arabic translation where your file needs one. Documents going from Kuwait to other countries get apostille or legalisation, depending on where they are used.

  • 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.
