Fingerprinting Services in Riyadh for RCMP, FBI and More with Globeia

Globeia provides mobile fingerprinting services in Riyadh for FBI, RCMP, FINRA and international applications. A certified associate visits you in areas such as Olaya, Al Malaz, the Diplomatic Quarter or Al Nakheel, bringing the required fingerprint cards.

We check your prints during the appointment and help coordinate the submission, apostille, legalisation and translation when needed.

Fingerprinting for every purpose

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

Most fingerprinting providers hand your file to someone else as soon as you leave. Globeia does not. Every FBI and RCMP submission goes through our own offices: Globeia Inc. in the USA and Globeia Incorporated in Canada. There are no third parties, and no waiting on someone else's timeline. Your file stays with our team from collection to delivery.

Option A · Fingerprints only

Start with fingerprinting. Manage the rest independently.

Globeia completes the fingerprinting appointment and provides the required documentation. You remain in control of the remaining steps, including submission and document preparation.

  • ✕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 legal translator the Saudi authorities 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

Complete your fingerprinting once. We'll coordinate what comes next.

After your mobile appointment in Riyadh, Globeia helps manage the required submission, document processing, apostille and translation through the appropriate international offices, so you have one point of contact throughout the process.

  • ✓Card checked before it ships, so it is not rejected later
  • ✓Submitted by our own accredited office, from inside the country
  • ✓Apostille and legal 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's Riyadh fingerprinting service is not RCMP-accredited, and Globeia is not affiliated with or endorsed by the RCMP, FBI, or FINRA. For RCMP applications, fingerprint cards collected in Riyadh are processed through the appropriate Canadian submission route. FBI Identity History Summaries, RCMP Criminal Record Checks, and all regulatory clearances are issued solely by the relevant government authority, not by Globeia.

One clearance, two ways to get it

Meet Rachel. She lives in Riyadh and needs an RCMP Criminal Record Check for her work visa with a new hospital employer.

Rachel's story reflects the journey many applicants go through. Here is the difference between managing the process alone and having Globeia coordinate the entire clearance.

On her own

Prints in Riyadh, the Canadian route missed

  1. Week 1
    Printed by a non-accredited vendor.

    An office in Al Olaya takes ink prints on a C-216C and couriers them to Canada.

  2. Week 6
    Prints rejected, file restarts.

    Two impressions are too light to classify, which means new prints, a new courier and a new wait.

  3. Week 13
    Result back, no apostille.

    Nobody requested the apostille from Global Affairs Canada, so another round of post begins.

  4. Week 18
    Arabic translation not accepted.

    It was not prepared by a legal translator, so the hospital's HR team returns it.

  5. Week 22
    Visa papers go in late.

    Three couriers between Riyadh and Canada, and a start date moved twice.

With Globeia

Her Riyadh compound visit, then one team

  1. Day 1
    Printed at home in Al Malqa.

    C-216C taken and checked at her dining table, and the Letter of Identity Verification issued.

  2. Week 1
    Accredited submission from Toronto.

    Globeia Incorporated submits her C-216C to the RCMP, and each update appears in Globeia SmartPortal.

  3. Week 3
    Canadian apostille requested.

    Global Affairs Canada issues it, with nothing for her to courier.

  4. Week 6
    Legal Arabic translation done.

    Prepared by a legal translator for the Saudi file, and arranged once the apostille is attached.

  5. Week 7
    Ready for her employer.

    A single invoice. HR submits her work visa papers on schedule.

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.

Beyond Fingerprinting: Apostille and Legalisation Support

Do you need to use documents from the U.S., Canada, the UK or another country in Saudi Arabia? Since Saudi Arabia joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 2022, eligible documents may follow the apostille process instead of the previous embassy legalisation route. Globeia helps coordinate the correct document preparation, apostille and translation steps for international use.

  • 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.
