Your application may start in Melbourne but travel across borders. Globeia helps connect your local fingerprinting appointment with international requirements for the USA, Canada, and other countries. Our Australian presence, including our Melbourne office on Spencer Street, gives you local access supported by our global teams.

If visiting an office is not convenient, a trained Globeia associate can come to your home, workplace, or preferred location in Melbourne for mobile fingerprinting. We assist with fingerprint collection for the FBI Background Check, the RCMP Criminal Record Check, and other police clearance applications, with certified translation arranged where it is needed. Manage your process through one secure Globeia SmartPortal.

Option A · Fingerprints only

We Complete the Fingerprint Step. You Handle Everything After.

Your appointment covers fingerprint collection, identity verification, and the required verification letter. After that, the remaining process is yours to manage between countries, authorities, and document requirements.

  • ✕You find a courier and ship the original card abroad
  • ✕You submit to the authority, on its form, in its sequence
  • ✕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.

The authorities set the clock. You control only when Step 1 happens.

Book the appointment now and the remaining steps start the same week.

RCMP Accreditation & Processing Disclaimer

RCMP accreditation is held exclusively by Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Globeia in Melbourne 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 Hamish and Sophie. They live in Melbourne and, for new teaching contracts at an international school in Singapore, each need an FBI Background Check and an RCMP Criminal Record Check.

Hamish and Sophie are a composite of the clients we see every week. Here's how their clearance goes when they do the fingerprints and sort out the rest themselves, and how it goes when Globeia runs the whole file.

On their own

Two diaries in Melbourne, two forms, two deadlines

  1. Week 1
    Two sessions, a week apart.

    Hamish gets printed in Carlton. Sophie is teaching in Brunswick that week, so she books for the following Saturday.

  2. Week 5
    One card smudged.

    Hamish's FD-258 comes back unreadable. The school's start date does not move.

  3. Week 9
    Certificates land out of sequence.

    Sophie has both certificates. Hamish's reprint is still somewhere between Melbourne and Washington.

  4. Week 18
    A certificate goes stale.

    The school's HR team asks for more recent documents, and Sophie's first result no longer counts.

  5. Week 22
    Term starts without them.

    Five print sessions, four couriers, and someone else starting the semester in Singapore in their place.

With Globeia

Both printed at home in Melbourne, together

  1. Day 1
    One visit in Hawthorn.

    Each of them gives an FD-258 and a C-216C while their son is at school, and every print is checked on the spot.

  2. Week 1
    Cards split by country.

    The FD-258 cards fly to Globeia in Washington, DC. The C-216C forms go to Globeia Incorporated for the RCMP-accredited route.

  3. Week 3
    Two files, one screen.

    Both files sit together in Globeia SmartPortal, so neither gets ahead of the other.

  4. Week 6
    Results line up.

    All four certificates arrive within days of each other, issued in English with nothing to translate.

  5. Week 7
    Sent to the school together.

    One invoice. Every certificate is still recent on the day the school applies for their Employment Passes.
