How it works while we launch

Request now, and be among the first visits when we go live.

We are opening Qatar in order of request. Your request costs nothing and commits you to nothing; it tells us where the first visits are needed and secures your place in the first schedule.

  1. 1Step 1
    Send your request.

    Your address, the clearances you need and when you would like the visit. Nothing to pay.

  2. 2Step 2
    We reply within 24 hours.

    As soon as we can serve your area, we send a confirmed date and a written estimate listing the plan, government fees at cost and any travel fee.

  3. 3Step 3
    Confirm, and we come to you.

    Pay only once you are happy with the estimate. Your prints then go to our own offices in the U.S. and Canada, and you follow every step in Globeia SmartPortal.

A real company, with real offices

Bringing International Compliance Capabilities Straight to Qatar

By operating our own facilities in Washington, DC and Toronto, Globeia bridges the gap between your residence in Qatar and foreign regulatory authorities.

Glass-fronted office with people working at desks inside
Our own offices, Globeia Inc. in Washington, DC and Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, submit every FBI and RCMP file.
Three questions to ask any fingerprinting provider

The answers tell you whether your file will be done to the authority's rules, or to nobody's.

  1. Where is my FBI application sent from, and who checks the card before it leaves Qatar?

    Globeia Inc. in Washington, DC submits it to the FBI CJIS Division from inside the United States, after a trained associate in Qatar has reviewed every impression on your FD-258 or FD-1164 card.

  2. Qatar does not accept apostilles. Who arranges the authentication and the embassy legalisation?

    Our own offices, in order For an FBI result: U.S. Department of State authentication, then legalisation at the Embassy of Qatar in Washington, DC. For an RCMP result: Global Affairs Canada authentication, then legalisation at the Embassy of Qatar in Ottawa. Where the Ministry of Interior also expects a stamp from Qatar's foreign ministry, we tell you before you pay. The legal Arabic translation follows, in the same file.

  3. Who will actually take my fingerprints in Qatar?

    A trained Globeia associate visits your home, office or hotel, first in Doha, West Bay, Al Sadd and The Pearl, checks your face against your government ID and reviews every impression before the card leaves. While we launch, each visit is confirmed in writing, with its date and estimate, before you pay.

A fingerprint card taken without reference to the authority's standards is just ink on paper: the wrong card stock, a missing rolled impression or an empty "taken by" box, and the application comes back weeks later. Our associates are trained on exactly those criteria.

What happens before and during the visit, so there are no surprises

Clients often tell us they want to know exactly what will happen before they book. Here it is, step by step.

  1. 1Confirmation by email with your associate's name, the arrival window and what to prepare: two forms of identification and a table to work at.
  2. 2A reminder the day before, with a direct contact for the associate on the day.
  3. 3Change the time if you need to. We ask only for reasonable notice; the terms are in your confirmation.
During the visit · 15 to 30 minutes per person
  1. 1Arrival at the agreed time. The associate presents Globeia identification.
  2. 2Identity check. Passport or residence card, plus a Face ID match.
  3. 3Fingerprinting on the correct card. Each impression is checked on the spot and retaken if needed, at no extra charge.
  4. 4Your Letter of Identity Verification is issued.
  5. 5Cards couriered to Globeia Inc. or Globeia Incorporated. Tracking appears in your SmartPortal.
One step, or all six

How to tell a one-step fingerprint shop, or an online "all-in-one" website, from a provider that can actually run the whole process

Local shops do one thing well: they take prints, in one city. Online services promise everything and own nothing. Globeia is the only provider with its own offices at both ends of your file.

The authorities set the clock. You control only when Step 1 happens.

RCMP Accreditation & Processing Disclaimer

RCMP accreditation is held exclusively by Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Globeia in Qatar is not RCMP-accredited, and Globeia is not endorsed by the RCMP, the FBI, FINRA, or any government authority. Fingerprints for the RCMP Criminal Record Check are collected in ink on the official C-216C form and mailed to Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, which submits them to the RCMP. All Criminal Record Checks, FBI Identity History Summaries and regulatory results are issued directly by the respective authority, not Globeia.

One clearance, two ways to get it

Meet Fatima. She lives in Qatar and needs an FBI Background Check for her Qatari work residence.

Fatima is a composite of the clients Globeia serves in its live markets: a nurse who worked in Michigan before moving to Doha. Here is how the clearance goes when she does the fingerprints and manages the rest alone, and how it goes when Globeia runs the whole file.

On her own

Fingerprints in Qatar, everything else by post and email

  1. Week 1
    Gets fingerprinted locally.

    A local police station or shop rolls the FD-258 card, and Fatima posts it to a U.S. vendor she has never spoken to.

  2. Week 4
    Card rejected.

    Two impressions are unreadable. Nobody checked before it shipped. Back to step one.

  3. Week 7
    Result arrives, not yet legalised.

    Fatima now needs U.S. Department of State authentication, then legalisation at the Embassy of Qatar in Washington, DC: two more offices, two more couriers, and the original posted again.

  4. Week 12
    Legalisation back. Translation refused.

    The translator she found is not one the Ministry of Interior accepts: the file needs a legal Arabic translation.

  5. Week 15
    Finally files.

    Four providers, four invoices, and months gone.

With Globeia

One visit in Doha, one file, one team

  1. Day 1
    Requests a visit, pays once.

    Identity checked at her door in Doha, prints reviewed on the spot, Letter of Identity Verification issued.

  2. Week 1
    Card lands at Globeia Washington, DC.

    Submitted to the FBI by our own team. Fatima follows it in Globeia SmartPortal.

  3. Week 3
    Result received and checked.

    Authentication requested the same day, then legalisation at the Embassy of Qatar in Washington, DC, by the same team.

  4. Week 8
    Legal Arabic translation done.

    By a translator the Ministry of Interior accepts, ordered after the authentication and legalisation so nothing is done twice.

  5. Week 9
    Ready-to-file clearance in hand.

    One invoice, one reference, and the file ready for her Qatari work residence.

    “I am quite pleased with the help and Support that was provided by Globeia to me. At every step they were quite responsive and prompt in their replies. At every stage of my application for OCT, the support provided by Globeia was quite useful. They went ahead to help me the requirements of my application beyond the call of duty. e.g. Suggesting quoting application number along with the reports. Thank You Globeia.”
