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
  • ✕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 your visit now and the remaining steps start the same week.

One clearance, two ways to get it

FBI Background Check from Akaroa: A Client's Journey

Meet Henri. He lives in Akaroa and needs an FBI Police Clearance for his visa. Henri is a composite of the clients we see every week. Here is how his clearance goes when he does the fingerprints and manages the rest himself, and how it goes when Globeia runs the whole file.

    The shop posts the card to a U.S. vendor Henri has never spoken to.

  2. Week 4
    Card rejected.

    Two impressions are unreadable. Nobody checked before it shipped. Back to Step 1.

  3. Week 7
    Result arrives, in English, unapostilled.

    Henri now has to find an apostille provider in the U.S. and post the original again.

  4. Week 15
    Finally files.

    Four providers, four invoices, one missed visa appointment.
