This ensures the application is organized and ready for onward handling through the official FBI process.

Step 5: FBI Submission Coordination and SmartPortal Tracking: Globeia coordinates the submission of your FBI Identity History Summary Check through the appropriate process and keeps you updated via SmartPortal. Estimated FBI timelines are ~24-48 hours for U.S. citizens/Green Card holders and ~1-3 weeks for non-U.S. applicants (excluding courier and handling time). If additional verification or resubmission is required, guidance is provided through the support team.

Step 6: Optional Services- Apostille, Legalization, and Certified Translation: If your FBI Criminal Record Check is required for international use, you may add apostille coordination, embassy legalization, or certified translation services. These are handled through the relevant competent authorities based on destination country requirements, ensuring your document is prepared for official submission abroad.

FBI Fingerprinting Services for Identity History Summary Check with Globeia

Fingerprinting is one of the most important steps in the FBI Identity History Summary Check process, as issues such as unclear impressions, incorrect card formats, or missing details are among the most common reasons for delays or resubmissions. Globeia helps reduce these risks by ensuring fingerprints are captured and prepared according to FBI requirements using official FD-258 and FD-1164 fingerprint cards.

Globeia Inc. in the U.S. provides fingerprinting support for FBI Identity History Summary Check applications using official fingerprint cards. Outside the United States, Globeia’s trained fingerprinting associates offer professional ink-and-roll fingerprinting at your home, office, or preferred location across multiple international cities.

How to Get Your FBI Identity History Summary Check Apostilled

Once your FBI Identity History Summary Check (FBI Criminal Record Check) is issued, many countries require an additional step for it to be legally accepted abroad- an apostille or authentication. For Hague Convention countries such as Canada, the UK, Germany, France, Australia, India, and 120+ others, an apostille is required. This apostille for an FBI Identity History Summary Check is issued exclusively by the U.S. Department of State - Office of Authentications in Washington, D.C. and cannot be issued by any embassy, consulate, or foreign authority.

For non-Hague countries, the process involves authentication followed by embassy legalization through the relevant consular authority. Globeia coordinates this process based on your destination country requirements through its U.S.-based operations and Washington, D.C. coordination setup, ensuring your documents are submitted to the appropriate authority in the correct format.

You upload your FBI Identity History Summary Check via the Globeia SmartPortal, after which your documents are reviewed and prepared for submission. The application is then forwarded to the U.S. Department of State - Office of Authentications, where the apostille is issued directly by the competent authority. Once completed, the document is securely couriered to your address.
