Globeia helps simplify the entire journey - from completing your application and reviewing fingerprints to coordinating submission and additional document services.
Step 1: Begin Your FBI Background Check Application with Globeia
Begin your FBI Criminal Record Check application online in minutes. Enter your details, select your applicant category - U.S. citizen, Green Card holder, or international applicant - and choose your service and return preferences.
A properly completed application can help prevent delays and ensure your request moves forward without unnecessary complications.
Step 2: Confirm Your Application with Secure Payment
Once your application details are submitted, complete the payment through Globeia’s secure payment system. Keep your payment confirmation for future reference. At this stage, you can also select additional options such as return delivery preferences or document handling services based on your needs.
Step 3: Complete the Required FBI Fingerprint Process
Fingerprints are one of the most important parts of an FBI Identity History Summary Check. The FBI requires fingerprints submitted on approved fingerprint cards, including FD-258 or FD-1164. Clear and accurate fingerprints help reduce the chances of delays or rejection.
Already have your fingerprints? Upload a scanned copy through the Globeia SmartPortal for an initial quality review. Please note that the original fingerprint card must still be mailed for official processing.

Step 4: Professional Document Review and Secure Handling Before your application moves forward, Globeia helps ensure your documents are properly prepared. After fingerprint quality review, your original fingerprint card and required documents need to be couriered to Globeia Inc. in the United States for FBI submission coordination.
This organized approach helps reduce common mistakes and keeps your application process structured from start to finish.
Step 5: Track Your FBI Check Progress with Globeia SmartPortal
Once your application is ready, Globeia coordinates the submission process and keeps you informed through the SmartPortal. You can stay updated on your application progress without having to manage multiple steps on your own.
Estimated FBI processing timelines may include:
U.S. citizens and Green Card holders: Around 24–48 hours
International applicants: Approximately 1–3 weeks
Processing times may vary depending on FBI review requirements. Courier delivery and handling times are separate.
If additional verification, clarification, or fingerprint submission is required, Globeia’s support team helps you understand the next steps.
Step 6: Prepare Your FBI Check for International Use
If you need your FBI Identity History Summary Check for use outside the United States, Globeia can assist with additional document preparation services.
