Where we will visit
Mobile Fingerprinting at Your Doorstep Across Sweden
Skip the trip to a fingerprinting centre. Globeia arranges collection at your home, workplace or hotel, with the fingerprint card selected for your receiving authority’s requirements. Any travel fee is confirmed in writing before your appointment, so you know the cost in advance.
Stockholm, Östermalm, Lidingö, Solna, Danderyd, Nacka and Uppsala. Among the first visits as we go live, at your home, your office or a meeting room we arrange.
Not in the list? Every town in Sweden can be covered by arrangement. Send a request with your town and preferred timing, or ask us a question first, and we will plan the nearest possible visit.
Request now, and be among the first visits when we go live.
We are opening Sweden 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.
1Step 1
Send your request.
Your address, the clearances you need and when you would like the visit. Nothing to pay.
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.
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
Our Own Offices in the U.S. and Canada Carry Your File
Your fingerprints are collected at your address in Sweden, then your file moves to the relevant Globeia office for international processing. Globeia Inc. in the USA coordinates FBI submissions, while Globeia Incorporated in Canada handles RCMP submissions.
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 Sweden?
Globeia Inc. in Washington, DC submits it to the FBI CJIS Division from inside the United States, after a trained associate in Sweden has reviewed every impression on your FD-258 or FD-1164 card.
2
Will the Swedish Migration Agency take the certificate in English, and who orders the apostille?
Usually in English, and our own offices order the apostille English documents are generally accepted in Sweden, so most files need only the U.S. Department of State apostille or the Global Affairs Canada apostille. If the office handling your application asks for a translation, we arrange it in the same file.
3
Who will actually take my fingerprints in Sweden?
A trained Globeia associate visits your home, office or hotel, first in Stockholm, Östermalm, Lidingö and Solna, 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.

On the day
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.
Before the visit
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.
2A reminder the day before, with a direct contact for the associate on the day.
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
1Arrival at the agreed time. The associate presents Globeia identification.
2Identity check. Passport or residence card, plus a Face ID match.
3Fingerprinting on the correct card. Each impression is checked on the spot and retaken if needed, at no extra charge.
4Your Letter of Identity Verification is issued.
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.

RCMP accreditation is held exclusively by Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Globeia in Sweden 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 Jonas. He lives in Sweden and needs an FBI Background Check for a new employer in Stockholm.
Jonas is a composite of the clients Globeia serves in its live markets: a Swede who spent six years in New York. Here is how the clearance goes when he does the fingerprints and manages the rest alone, and how it goes when Globeia runs the whole file.
On his own
Fingerprints in Sweden, everything else by post and email
Week 1
Gets fingerprinted locally.
A local police station or shop rolls the FD-258 card, and Jonas posts it to a U.S. vendor he has never spoken to.
Week 4
Card rejected.
Two impressions are unreadable. Nobody checked before it shipped. Back to step one.
Week 7
Result arrives, without the apostille.
Jonas now has to find someone in the U.S. to obtain the U.S. Department of State apostille and post the original again.
Week 11
Apostille back, weeks later.
The certificate is in English, which the Swedish Migration Agency usually accepts, but the clock has kept running.
Week 15
Finally files.
Four providers, four invoices, and months gone.
With Globeia
One visit in Stockholm, one file, one team
Day 1
Requests a visit, pays once.
Identity checked at his door in Stockholm, prints reviewed on the spot, Letter of Identity Verification issued.
Week 1
Card lands at Globeia Washington, DC.
Submitted to the FBI by our own team. Jonas follows it in Globeia SmartPortal.
Week 3
Result received and checked.
The U.S. Department of State apostille requested the same day, no re-posting, no new provider.
Week 5
Ready-to-file clearance in hand.
One invoice, one reference, and the file ready for a new employer in Stockholm.

“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.”

“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.”

Fingerprinting in Sweden: Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we hear most often from Sweden. Not here? Book a free consultation.
We are opening Sweden in order of request. Send a free appointment request with your town and when you need the visit; we reply within 24 hours, and as soon as we can serve your area we send a confirmed date and a written estimate. Nothing is paid until you accept it.
At your home, office or hotel. The first visits are planned in Stockholm, Östermalm, Lidingö, Solna, Danderyd and Nacka, with Uppsala, Lund, Helsingborg, Jönköping, Linköping and other towns by arrangement. The directory on this page lists every town and area we will cover, region by region. Not in the list? Send a request with your town and we will plan the nearest possible visit.
Not always. The Swedish Migration Agency does not ask for one for every work or family permit, but it may request a criminal record certificate in some cases, and employers in schools, healthcare and finance, licensing bodies and other countries' visa offices often do. When it is needed it is usually apostilled; English documents are generally accepted, and others may need an authorised translation. Check with the office handling your application before you order.
No. The Swedish extract, the utdrag ur belastningsregistret, covers Sweden only and is issued by the Swedish Police Authority. A police certificate from the United States, Canada or another country you lived in needs your fingerprints on that country's own form, and that is what Globeia takes.
Yes. We take your prints on an FD-258 or FD-1164 card wherever you are in Sweden, and the card goes to Globeia in Washington, DC. Our own staff submit it to the FBI, check the result and arrange the U.S. Department of State apostille and any translation your file needs. You can follow every step in Globeia SmartPortal.
Yes, by arrangement. Visits to Sundsvall, Umeå, Luleå, Kiruna, Visby on Gotland, Örebro, Västerås, Jönköping and the towns around them are planned around your dates, with any travel fee shown in writing in your estimate before you pay.
Yes. We take your prints on the C-216C form, and Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, which holds the RCMP accreditation, submits the file. When the result arrives, we arrange the Global Affairs Canada apostille and any translation your file needs.
Yes. Several people at one address in Sweden are fingerprinted in one visit and share one travel fee: families, couples, crews and teams. Tell us in the notes of your request how many people will be fingerprinted, and each person gets their own cards and Letter of Identity Verification.
15 to 30 minutes from the moment the associate arrives. We check your ID against your face, roll each finger on the card and check every impression before we leave, so the card is not rejected later.
The FBI Background Check, the RCMP Criminal Record Check, and police clearances for South Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, India, the Gulf and many other countries. We take your prints on the card or form each authority requires, and confirm the route and price before you pay.
Yes. Every completed appointment comes with a Letter of Identity Verification. It confirms who was fingerprinted, when and by whom, and carries an encrypted QR code that anyone you send it to can check.
