Option A · Fingerprints only

Manila fingerprinting appointment completed. The remaining steps are yours.

We take your fingerprints on the card the authority requires, verify your identity and provide a Letter of Identity Verification. After your appointment in Vientiane, you manage the submission, processing and apostille arrangements yourself.

  • ✕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 or embassy legalisation in the issuing country and ship again
  • ✕You find a certified translator the Lao authorities 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.

RCMP Accreditation & Processing Disclaimer

RCMP accreditation is held by Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Globeia in Vientiane 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 Laos 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 Brian. He lives in Vientiane and needs an FBI Background Check for his Lao work permit.

Brian is a composite of the clients we meet every week. Here is how his clearance goes when he arranges the fingerprints and manages the rest himself, and how it goes when Globeia handles the complete file.

On his own

From Vientiane to Washington and back, twice

  1. Week 1
    Printed informally near That Luang.

    An acquaintance takes his prints on an FD-258 card. Nobody checks the impressions before it is posted.

  2. Week 6
    Smudged ridges, card refused.

    Two fingers cannot be read. The postal process from Vientiane to the U.S. starts again.

  3. Week 11
    Result in hand, not legalised.

    The Lao authorities require U.S. authentication and Lao embassy legalisation before they will review it.

  4. Week 16
    Lao translation queried.

    His translation is not certified, and the work permit papers are returned to him.

  5. Week 20
    Filed after five months.

    Five providers, two rejections, and a project start in Xaythany delayed twice.

With Globeia

One visit to his Vientiane home, one file

  1. Day 1
    Associate at his door in Phonthan.

    Passport checked, FD-258 prints inspected on the spot, and the Letter of Identity Verification handed over.

  2. Week 1
    Card with our Washington team.

    Globeia staff in Washington, DC submit it to the FBI. Brian sees every update in Globeia SmartPortal.

  3. Week 3
    Result reviewed, legalisation started.

    U.S. authentication first, then the Lao embassy, arranged by us with nothing posted twice.

  4. Week 6
    Certified Lao translation done.

    Prepared for the Lao authorities and checked against the original.

  5. Week 7
    Permit papers complete.

    One invoice. His work permit application is submitted on the planned date.

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

What Our Clients Say

A selection of reviews of Globeia from our Google Business Profile, shown as they were written.

  • ★★★★★
    “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Service – Fast, Reliable, and Highly Recommended! I used Globeia to obtain my Canadian background check for a U.S. visa, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their service. Even though I’m currently living outside Canada , I received my background check results in just 9 days much faster than I expected! Thank you, Globeia, for a smooth and successful experience!”
    Edilson CruzGoogle review

    “They did a fantastic job on various apostilles from out of country, as well as foreign fingerprint conversion. Very professional and responsive, both through their portal and via email. They proved to be trustworthy and reliable throughout the process. Definitely would use them again for future document services needs.”
    John SlobodaGoogle review

Authentication, legalisation and apostille, from the U.S., Canada and beyond

Using foreign documents in Laos involves a different process because Laos is not a Hague Apostille Convention country. Globeia helps arrange the required authentication, legalisation or apostille for birth certificates, police clearances, diplomas, powers of attorney and company documents.

  • 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.
