A real company, with real offices

Your File Is Handled Through Our U.S. and Canadian Offices

Globeia does not operate through a walk-in counter in El Salvador. A trained associate visits you for fingerprint collection, and your file is supported by Globeia’s own offices in the U.S. and Canada.

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 El Salvador?

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

  2. Who orders the apostille and the Spanish translation, and in what order?

    Our own offices order the U.S. Department of State apostille or the Global Affairs Canada apostille first, then the certified Spanish translation the Directorate General of Migration and Foreign Affairs (DGME) generally expects, so nothing is done twice. One file, one reference, one invoice.

  3. Who will actually take my fingerprints in El Salvador?

    A trained Globeia associate visits your home, office or hotel, first in San Salvador, Colonia Escalón, Antiguo Cuscatlán and Santa Tecla, 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.

Before the visit
  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

What Makes a Full-Service Fingerprinting Provider Different?

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 & Processing Disclaimer

RCMP accreditation is held exclusively by Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Globeia in El Salvador 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 Marisol. She lives in El Salvador and needs an FBI Background Check for a new employer in San Salvador.

Marisol is a composite of the clients Globeia serves in its live markets: a Salvadoran returning from Washington, DC. 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 El Salvador, everything else by post and email

  1. Week 1
    Gets fingerprinted locally.

    A local police station or shop rolls the FD-258 card, and Marisol 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, without the apostille.

    Marisol now has to find someone in the U.S. to obtain the U.S. Department of State apostille and post the original again.

  4. Week 12
    Apostille back. Translation refused.

    The translator she found is not one the Directorate General of Migration and Foreign Affairs (DGME) accepts: the file needs a certified Spanish translation.

  5. Week 15
    Finally files.

    Four providers, four invoices, and months gone.

With Globeia

One visit in San Salvador, one file, one team

  1. Day 1
    Requests a visit, pays once.

    Identity checked at her door in San Salvador, 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. Marisol follows it in Globeia SmartPortal.

  3. Week 3
    Result received and checked.

    The U.S. Department of State apostille requested the same day, no re-posting, no new provider.

  4. Week 6
    Certified Spanish translation done.

    By a translator the Directorate General of Migration and Foreign Affairs (DGME) accepts, ordered after the apostille so nothing is done twice.

  5. Week 7
    Ready-to-file clearance in hand.

    One invoice, one reference, and the file ready for a new employer in San Salvador.

    “I had a great experience with Globeia! I’m currently living in Australia and needed help obtaining my Canadian police check. Even from overseas, their team made the process smooth and stress-free. They were responsive, professional, and kept me updated every step of the way. I received my document quickly and without any issues. I highly recommend Globeia to anyone who needs assistance with background checks, especially if you’re applying from abroad. Thank you, Globeia!”

    “They did a fantastic job on various apostilles from out of country, as well as foreign fingerprint conversion. Very professional and responsive, both through their portal and via email. They proved to be trustworthy and reliable throughout the process. Definitely would use them again for future document services needs.”
    John SlobodaGoogle review
  • ★★★★★
    “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.”
