Face ID and government ID check at every appointment. A Letter of Identity Verification comes with every completed appointment. Washington, DC office working directly with U.S. federal processes.

Fingerprinting Backed by Globeia's Own U.S. and Canadian Offices

Many fingerprinting providers simply collect your fingerprints and hand the rest of the process to another company. Globeia works differently. Your fingerprints are handled through our own offices in Washington, DC for FBI applications and Toronto for RCMP submissions. That means one point of contact, no unnecessary intermediaries, and a smoother experience from your appointment to the final result.

Option A · Fingerprints only

We Take Your Fingerprints. You Handle the Rest.

We collect your fingerprints on the required card, complete identity verification, and provide your Letter of Identity Verification. After that, you manage the remaining steps yourself.

  • ✕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 sworn translator the Presidency of Migration Management 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.

The authorities set the clock. You control only when Step 1 happens.

Book your visit now and the remaining steps start the same week.

RCMP Accreditation & Processing Disclaimer

RCMP accreditation is held exclusively by Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Globeia in Istanbul 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

FBI Background Check from Istanbul: A Client's Journey

Meet Emre. He lives in Istanbul and needs an FBI Police Clearance for his visa. Emre is a composite of the clients we see every week. Here is how his clearance goes when he does the fingerprints and manages the rest himself, and how it goes when Globeia runs the whole file.

On his own

Fingerprints in Istanbul, everything else by post and email

  1. Week 1
    Gets fingerprinted locally.

    The shop posts the card to a U.S. vendor Emre has never spoken to.

  2. Week 4
    Card rejected.

    Two impressions are unreadable. Nobody checked before it shipped. Back to Step 1.

  3. Week 7
    Result arrives, in English, unapostilled.

    Emre now has to find an apostille provider in the U.S. and post the original again.

  4. Week 12
    Apostille back. Translation refused.

    He used an ordinary translator. The Presidency of Migration Management requires a sworn one.

  5. Week 15
    Finally files.

    Four providers, four invoices, one missed visa appointment.

Apostille and legalization, from the U.S., Canada and beyond

From birth certificates and diplomas to police documents and corporate papers, Globeia helps prepare documents for international use through apostille, authentication, and legalization services. Our teams coordinate with authorities in the U.S., Canada, and other countries, saving you time and eliminating the need to travel.

  • U.S. documents

    Our office is in Washington, DC, the capital, so federal apostilles and embassy legalizations 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 legalization where an apostille does not apply.

  • Documents from Other Countries

    We arrange apostilles through the relevant government competent authorities in the country where your document was issued. Tell us the country and document type, and we'll confirm the process, expected turnaround time and price.
