Option A · Fingerprints only

We do Step 1. Steps 2 to 6 are yours.

We take your prints on the right card, verify your identity and issue a Letter of Identity Verification. Then you manage the rest across two countries.

  • ✕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 in the issuing country and ship again
  • ✕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.

RecommendedOption B · Full Package with Globeia

We do all six steps. You attend one appointment.

Step 1 at your home or office in Amsterdam. Steps 2 to 5 in our own office in the issuing country. Step 6 back to you in Amsterdam. Same team, same file, no third parties.

  • ✓Card checked before it ships, so it is not rejected later
  • ✓Submitted by our own accredited office, from inside the country
  • ✓Apostille ordered by us, in the right order
  • ✓Every step visible in your portal, one reference, one invoice
  • ✓10 years of doing exactly this. You get it right the first time.

RCMP Accreditation & Processing Disclaimer

RCMP accreditation is held by Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Globeia in Amsterdam 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 the Netherlands 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 Lena. She lives in Amsterdam and needs an FBI Background Check and Police clearance for New Zealand for her move abroad.

Lena is a composite of the clients we meet every week. Here is how her clearance goes when she arranges the fingerprints and manages the rest herself, and how it goes when Globeia handles the complete file.

On their own

One appointment, wrong agency, two clocks

  1. Week 1
    One booking, one agency

    Lena has her fingerprints taken near Westerpark. Nobody checks which forms she needs.

  2. Week 4
    Wrong card

    The agency used the wrong form, so she is back to Step 1.

  3. Week 11
    Results arrive one by one

    Her FBI background check arrives. The New Zealand result is still in the post.

  4. Week 24
    New Zealand result arrives

    By then, her FBI Background Check has expired. She starts again.

  5. Week 30
    Finally files.

    Three providers, four couriers, and her move delayed by months.

With Globeia

One visit in Amsterdam, two clearances, one team

  1. Day 1
    One visit, everything checked.

    Our associate comes to Lena's flat in De Pijp. The FD-258 and New Zealand cards are taken and checked on the spot.

  2. Week 1
    Both files moving.

    The FBI card goes to Globeia in Washington, DC. The New Zealand route is confirmed and the card is sent the same week.

  3. Week 3
    FBI result in.

    Lena follows every step in Globeia SmartPortal. The apostille is ordered the same day.

  4. Week 6
    Both results ready.

    Checked and apostilled, with nothing posted twice and no new provider.

  5. Week 7
    Ready to file.

    One invoice. Both clearances are valid on the day she applies.

Verified identity

Every Completed Appointment Comes With a Letter of Identity Verification

Your identity is checked before your prints are taken. This matters even more for a mobile appointment: the Letter of Identity Verification lets any authority confirm who was fingerprinted, by whom and at which address.

  • 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

The Letter of Identity Verification is issued by Globeia and is not issued by, endorsed by, or affiliated with any government authority.

Sample copy for illustration. Real letters carry a unique reference and an encrypted QR code.

What Our Clients Say

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

  • ★★★★★
    “I had a great experience with Globeia! I’m currently living in Australia and needed help obtaining my Canadian police check. Even from overseas, their team made the process smooth and stress-free. They were responsive, professional, and kept me updated every step of the way. I received my document quickly and without any issues. I highly recommend Globeia to anyone who needs assistance with background checks, especially if you’re applying from abroad. Thank you, Globeia!”
    Ana Paula OliveiraGoogle 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
  • ★★★★★
    “Best dollars ever spent. I first tried to navigate submitting directly to FBI. Frustrating nightmare. This company is thorough, helpful, professional and very efficient. Save yourself the headaches and just start with Globeia!”

Apostille and legalisation, from the U.S., Canada and beyond

Birth and marriage certificates, diplomas, police reports, powers of attorney and company documents. We get documents apostilled or legalised for use in any country, without you travelling.

  • 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.
