How it works while we launch

Send your request now and join the first Globeia appointments when we launch in Latvia. Your request is free and helps us understand where clients need visits first, from Riga and Jūrmala to other cities across the country.

  1. 1Step 1
    Send your request.

    Your address, the clearances you need and when you would like the visit. Nothing to pay.

  2. 2Step 2
    We reply within 24 hours.

    As soon as we can serve your area, we send a confirmed date and a written estimate listing the plan, government fees at cost and any travel fee.

  3. 3Step 3
    Confirm, and we come to you.

    Pay only once you are happy with the estimate. Your prints then go to our own offices in the U.S. and Canada, and you follow every step in Globeia SmartPortal.

A real company, with real offices

A Local Appointment Backed by Our U.S. and Canadian Teams

There is no need to travel to a fingerprinting centre. Globeia visits you in Latvia, then our own offices in the United States and Canada help manage the next steps of your international police clearance application.

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. Where is my FBI application sent from, and who checks the card before it leaves Latvia?

    Globeia Inc. in Washington, DC submits it to the FBI CJIS Division from inside the United States, after a trained associate in Latvia has reviewed every impression on your FD-258 or FD-1164 card.

  2. Who orders the apostille and the Latvian translation, and in what order?

    Our own offices order the U.S. Department of State apostille or the Global Affairs Canada apostille first, then the certified Latvian translation the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs generally expects, so nothing is done twice. One file, one reference, one invoice.

  3. Who will actually take my fingerprints in Latvia?

    A trained Globeia associate visits your home, office or hotel, first in Riga, Mežaparks, Ķīpsala and Mārupe, 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.

What happens before and during the visit, so there are no surprises

Clients often tell us they want to know exactly what will happen before they book. Here it is, step by step.

Before the visit
  1. 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.
  2. 2A reminder the day before, with a direct contact for the associate on the day.
  3. 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
  1. 1Arrival at the agreed time. The associate presents Globeia identification.
  2. 2Identity check. Passport or residence card, plus a Face ID match.
  3. 3Fingerprinting on the correct card. Each impression is checked on the spot and retaken if needed, at no extra charge.
  4. 4Your Letter of Identity Verification is issued.
  5. 5Cards couriered to Globeia Inc. or Globeia Incorporated. Tracking appears in your SmartPortal.
One step, or all six

A Provider That Owns the Process in Latvia and in North America

Local shops fingerprint in one part of Riga. Online services own nothing at either end. Globeia has its own staff at your door, in Washington, DC and in Toronto, with 16 towns across Latvia covered from launch.

RCMP Accreditation & Processing Disclaimer

RCMP accreditation is held exclusively by Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Globeia in Latvia 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 Mark. He lives in Latvia and needs an FBI Background Check for his residence permit renewal.

Mark is a composite of the clients Globeia serves in its live markets: an American English teacher in Riga. 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 Latvia, everything else by post and email

  1. Week 1
    Gets fingerprinted locally.

    A local police station or shop rolls the FD-258 card, and Mark posts it to a U.S. vendor he has never spoken to.

  2. Week 4
    Card rejected.

    Two impressions are unreadable. Nobody checked before it shipped. Back to step one.

  3. Week 7
    Result arrives, without the apostille.

    Mark now has to find someone in the U.S. to obtain the U.S. Department of State apostille and post the original again.

  4. Week 12
    Apostille back. Translation refused.

    The translator he found is not one the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs accepts: the file needs a certified Latvian translation.

  5. Week 15
    Finally files.

    Four providers, four invoices, and months gone.

With Globeia

One visit in Riga, one file, one team

  1. Day 1
    Requests a visit, pays once.

    Identity checked at his door in Riga, prints reviewed on the spot, Letter of Identity Verification issued.

  2. Week 1
    Card lands at Globeia Washington, DC.

    Submitted to the FBI by our own team. Mark follows it in Globeia SmartPortal.

  3. Week 3
    Result received and checked.

    The U.S. Department of State apostille requested the same day, no re-posting, no new provider.

  4. Week 6
    Certified Latvian translation done.

    By a translator the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs accepts, ordered after the apostille so nothing is done twice.

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

    One invoice, one reference, and the file ready for his residence permit renewal.
