Fingerprinting in Mexico City, and Across Mexico by Arrangement
Choose Mexico City to book, see what is covered and read what clients say. Elsewhere in Mexico, from Guadalajara and Lake Chapala to Mérida and Monterrey, a trained associate visits by arrangement, with any travel fee confirmed in writing before you pay.
Our Own Offices in the U.S. and Canada Carry Your File
A trained associate in Mexico takes your prints. Globeia Inc. in Washington, DC and Globeia Incorporated in Toronto handle submission, apostille and translation, and their addresses are below.
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 Mexico?
Globeia Inc. in Washington, DC submits it to the FBI CJIS Division from inside the United States, after a trained associate in Mexico has reviewed every impression on your FD-258 or FD-1164 card.
2
Who orders the apostille and the Spanish 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 sworn Spanish translation the National Migration Institute (INM) generally expects, so nothing is done twice. One file, one reference, one invoice.
3
Who will actually take my fingerprints in Mexico?
A trained Globeia associate visits your home, office or hotel in Mexico City, or elsewhere in Mexico by arrangement, checks your face against your government ID and reviews every impression before the card leaves. Each visit is confirmed in writing, with its date and price, 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 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
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 Mexico 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.
Pricing
Clear Starting Prices, the Same in Every City
Starting prices for a visit in Mexico City. The price depends on the package, the destination country and, outside Mexico City, any travel fee. Full total in writing before you pay, government fees at cost, no hidden charges.
Mobile visits cost extra, depending on your location. RCMP applications also carry a federal fee payable to the Receiver General of Canada, which we pass through at cost.
One clearance, two ways to get it
Meet Linda. She lives in Mexico and needs an FBI Background Check for a post at an international school.
Linda is a composite of the clients Globeia serves in Mexico: an American teacher who moved to Mexico City. Here is how the clearance goes when she does the fingerprints and manages the rest alone, and how it goes when Globeia runs the whole file.
On her own
Fingerprints in Mexico, everything else by post and email
Week 1
Gets fingerprinted locally.
A local police station or shop rolls the FD-258 card, and Linda posts it to a U.S. vendor she 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, without the apostille.
Linda now has to find someone in the U.S. to obtain the U.S. Department of State apostille and post the original again.
Week 12
Apostille back. Translation refused.
The translator she found is not one the National Migration Institute (INM) accepts: the file needs a sworn Spanish translation.
Week 15
Finally files.
Four providers, four invoices, and months gone.
With Globeia
One visit in Mexico City, one file, one team
Day 1
Requests a visit, pays once.
Identity checked at her door in Mexico 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. Linda follows it in Globeia SmartPortal.
Week 3
Result received and checked.
The U.S. Department of State apostille requested the same day, no re-posting, no new provider.
Week 6
Sworn Spanish translation done.
By a translator the National Migration Institute (INM) accepts, ordered after the apostille so nothing is done twice.
Week 7
Ready-to-file clearance in hand.
One invoice, one reference, and the file ready for a post at an international school.

“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.”

“I am quite pleased with the help and Support that was provided by Globeia to me. At every step they were quite responsive and prompt in their replies. At every stage of my application for OCT, the support provided by Globeia was quite useful. They went ahead to help me the requirements of my application beyond the call of duty. e.g. Suggesting quoting application number along with the reports. Thank You Globeia.”

Fingerprinting Services in Mexico: Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we hear most often across Mexico. Not here? Schedule a quick call.
At your home, office or hotel. A trained associate visits anywhere in Mexico City. Guadalajara, Lake Chapala, San Miguel de Allende, Mérida and other towns are covered by arrangement, with any travel fee shown in writing before you pay. The directory on this page lists the towns and areas we cover. Not in the list? Send a request with your town and we will plan the nearest possible visit.
Not usually for the resident visa itself, which Mexican consulates generally decide on income, savings or a job offer. Foreign police certificates are more often asked for by employers, schools, adoption and licensing bodies, and by the next country you move to. Where a Mexican authority does ask for one, it is generally apostilled and translated into Spanish by a perito traductor. Check with the consulate or the INM office handling your file before you order.
Other police clearances or Fingerprinting only starting from MX$850, FBI starting from MX$2,300 and RCMP starting from MX$2,600. You see the full price, including any mobile visit fee, before you pay.
No. The constancia de antecedentes no penales is issued by Mexican state and federal authorities and covers Mexico only. 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 Mexico, 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 apostille and any translation your file needs. You can follow every step in Globeia SmartPortal.
Yes, by arrangement. Visits to Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán, Oaxaca, Querétaro, Puebla, Cuernavaca, Monterrey and Los Cabos are planned around your dates, with any travel fee shown in writing in your estimate before you pay.
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 apostille and any translation your file needs.
Yes. Several people at one address in Mexico are fingerprinted in one visit and share one travel fee: families, couples, crews and teams. Tell us in the notes of your request how many people will be fingerprinted, and each person gets their own cards and Letter of Identity Verification.
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.
The FBI Background Check, the RCMP Criminal Record Check, and police clearances for South Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, India, the Gulf and many other countries. We take your prints on the card or form each authority requires, and confirm the route and price before you pay.
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.
