Fingerprinting for every purpose

Need More Than Fingerprinting? Complete Support, Without the Middlemen.

Once your fingerprints are collected in Krakow, Globeia keeps the next stages within its own network rather than passing your file between third-party providers. Our teams in Canada and the USA handle the relevant international processing and submission. No outsourcing, middleman, or waiting on someone else's timeline. Your fingerprints move directly into the process they were collected for.

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
  • ✕You find a sworn translator the voivodeship office will accept
  • ✕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 Krakow. Steps 2 to 5 in our own office in the issuing country. Step 6 back to you in Krakow. 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 and sworn translation 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 Krakow 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 Poland 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 Tomasz. He lives in Krakow and needs an FBI Background Check and an RCMP Criminal Record Check for a Skilled Worker visa to teach in England.

Tomasz is a composite of the clients we meet every week. Here is how his clearance goes when he arranges the fingerprints and manages the rest himself, and how it goes when Globeia handles the complete file.

On their own

Two Krakow appointments and two results out of step

  1. Week 1
    Booked a week apart.

    Tomasz has his fingerprints taken near Rondo Mogilskie for his FBI Background Check and RCMP Criminal Record Check.

  2. Week 4
    Smudged prints, second visit.

    Two of Tomasz's impressions on the C-216C are unreadable. His RCMP Criminal Record Check has to start again.

  3. Week 9
    One result is back.

    Tomasz receives his FBI result, but his second set of fingerprints is still being processed for the RCMP check.

  4. Week 24
    The delay affects his visa timeline.

    His RCMP result arrives much later, leaving Tomasz waiting to complete his Skilled Worker visa documents for his teaching position in England.

  5. Week 30
    Visas finally filed.

    A second fingerprinting appointment, separate submissions and repeated follow-ups push his planned September start to January.

With Globeia

One visit to their Krakow flat, both files together

  1. Day 1
    One sitting in Podgórze.

    Tomasz gives his fingerprints on an FD-258 and a C-216C, and every impression is checked before the associate leaves.

  2. Week 1
    Two clearances, coordinated together.

    Globeia's U.S. and Canadian teams handle the relevant FBI and RCMP submission routes.

  3. Week 3
    One place to track the process.

    Tomasz can follow the status of his Globeia-managed services through SmartPortal.

  4. As results arrive
    Both clearances received

    Tomasz receives his FBI and RCMP results in English for his UK application.

  5. Final stage
    Visa file ready

    One Globeia contact handles the process from fingerprinting through results.

Verified identity

Every Completed Appointment Comes With a Letter of Identity Verification

We check your face and your ID before we take a single print. Because the appointment happens at your address rather than in an office, the letter matters even more: it lets any authority confirm who was fingerprinted, by whom, and where and when it happened.

  • 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.

  • ★★★★★
    “I used Globeia for RCMP, aposilled, translation services to send to Portugal. They were helpful, fast and kept me updated with each process. The fee they charge might be a more expensive than alternative options but you get the service and quality you pay for. Very happy with the speed as well in getting the documents certified. it came sooner than expected.”

Also from 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.
