Globeia Porto: Background Checks, Apostille and Mobile Fingerprinting

Your One-Stop Solution for Fingerprinting, Police Checks, Apostilles, and Global Document Services.

In Porto, expats, professionals, and families often face the challenge of coordinating multiple providers for their international paperwork. One agency for fingerprints, another for apostilles, and yet another for translations - a process that risks delays and errors.

Globeia changes that.

Globeia is RCMP and FBI accredited with offices in Canada, the U.S., and the UK, we bring every service under one trusted roof. From RCMP and FBI fingerprinting to international police clearances, apostilles, embassy attestations, and certified translations, we handle it all with accuracy and speed.

Unlike small agencies that only capture fingerprints, Globeia ensures your entire compliance journey is managed seamlessly. Our secure SmartForm platform lets you book online, track your documents in real time, and avoid mistakes that often slow down applications.

For Porto’s growing community of global professionals, students, and relocating families, Globeia is more than a service - it’s your trusted partner for international compliance, done right the first time.
