Option A · Fingerprints only

Fingerprinting Only. The Remaining Five Steps Are Yours.

Globeia's fingerprinting service in Lisbon captures your prints on the correct authority-required card, verifies your identity through Face ID and government ID, and issues a Letter of Identity Verification. Everything after that is yours to manage 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 certified translator AIMA 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

Full Fingerprinting and Clearance Package. One Appointment.

Choose a time and location in Lisbon - your home, office, or preferred address. A certified Globeia associate completes your fingerprinting appointment, and we handle the remaining clearance steps. Step 1 in Lisbon. Steps 2–5 through the appropriate Globeia office and processing route in the issuing country. Step 6 delivers your completed documents, apostille, and certified Portuguese translation back to you.

  • ✓Card checked before it ships, so it is not rejected later
  • ✓Submitted by our own accredited office, from inside the country
  • ✓Apostille and certified translation ordered by us, in the right order

RCMP Accreditation & Processing Disclaimer

RCMP accreditation is held by Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Globeia in Lisbon 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 Portugal 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 Natalie. She lives in Lisbon and needs an RCMP Criminal Record Check for her AIMA residence permit.

Natalie 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 her own

A quick print in Lisbon, then a lost season

  1. Week 1
    Printed at a co-working desk.

    An online vendor sends someone to Saldanha. Nobody asks which form Canada needs.

  2. Week 4
    Card refused.

    The wrong form, and a vendor that is not RCMP-accredited. The file never reached Ottawa.

  3. Week 8
    Starting from zero.

    She pays again for a C-216C set while her AIMA appointment date gets closer.

  4. Week 13
    Canadian apostille missing.

    AIMA requires the apostille. She did not know that it comes from Global Affairs Canada.

  5. Week 17
    AIMA slot lost.

    She loses an appointment that took months to get, as well as paying two fees for two sets of prints.

With Globeia

Her C-216C done once, at home in Lisbon

  1. Day 1
    Prints at home in Estrela.

    Our associate takes the C-216C and checks each impression before leaving.

  2. Week 1
    Accredited submission, first time.

    Our Toronto company, Globeia Incorporated, handles the RCMP-accredited submission. One set of prints is enough.

  3. Week 3
    Result in, apostille on its way.

    We check it the day it arrives and request the apostille from Global Affairs Canada. Natalie sees both steps in SmartPortal.

  4. Week 6
    Certified Portuguese translation.

    Prepared from the apostilled original and certified, ready for AIMA.

  5. Week 7
    Ready for her appointment.

    One invoice. She arrives at AIMA with every document in order.

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

Globeia helps prepare U.S., Canadian, and international documents for use abroad. From birth certificates and diplomas to police reports and business documents, we coordinate apostille and legalisation 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.

Globeia's Lisbon Office and Mobile Fingerprinting Coverage

Visit our office at Amoreiras Square, or let us come to you. Lisbon's hills, trams and cobbled streets make a trip across the city slow, so a certified associate can also visit your flat in Graça, a co-working desk in Cais do Sodré or a hotel lobby on Avenida da Liberdade. You choose the place and the time when you book.
