How it works while we launch

Request now, and be among the first visits when we go live.

We are opening Zambia 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.

  1. 1Step 1
    Send your request.

    Your address, the clearances you need and when you would like the visit. Nothing to pay.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

The next steps, after the fingerprinting in Zambia, are coordinated through Globeia’s own offices in Washington, DC and Toronto. The destination determines the route: FBI submissions are handled through the U.S. office, and fingerprint submissions to the RCMP through Globeia Incorporated in Toronto.

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. Who submits my fingerprints to the RCMP from Zambia, and is that company on the RCMP's accredited list?

    Globeia Incorporated in Toronto is on the list and submits your C-216C electronically to CCRTIS from inside Canada, once the form taken in Zambia reaches it by tracked courier.

  2. Zambia does not accept apostilles. Who arranges the authentication and the embassy legalisation?

    Our own offices, in order For an FBI result: U.S. Department of State authentication, then legalisation at the Embassy of Zambia in Washington, DC. For an RCMP result: Global Affairs Canada authentication, then legalisation at the Embassy of Zambia in Ottawa. Where the Department of Immigration also expects a stamp from Zambia's foreign ministry, we tell you before you pay.

  3. Who will actually take my fingerprints in Zambia?

    A trained Globeia associate visits your home, office or hotel, first in Lusaka, Kabulonga, Ndola and Kitwe, 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.

Fingerprinting for every purpose

The Whole Police Clearance, Without the Middlemen

Globeia coordinates the process from fingerprint collection to submission and document support, keeping the steps connected through one service. You deal directly with Globeia rather than separate intermediaries for each stage, with your file updates available through SmartPortal.

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

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.

If you only need the fingerprints, we will happily take just the fingerprints, on the right card, with a Letter of Identity Verification. The comparison describes typical providers, not any named company.

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

RCMP Accreditation & Processing Disclaimer

RCMP accreditation is held exclusively by Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Globeia in Zambia 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 Chanda. He lives in Zambia and needs an RCMP Criminal Record Check for a new post in Lusaka.

Chanda is a composite of the clients Globeia serves in its live markets: a Zambian doctor who trained in Canada. 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 Zambia, everything else by post and email

  1. Week 1
    Gets fingerprinted locally.

    A local police station or shop rolls the C-216C form, and Chanda posts it to an accredited company in Canada he 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, not yet legalised.

    Chanda now needs Global Affairs Canada authentication, then legalisation at the Embassy of Zambia in Ottawa: two more offices, two more couriers, and the original posted again.

  4. Week 11
    Legalisation back, weeks later.

    The certificate is in English, which the Department of Immigration usually accepts, but the clock has kept running.

  5. Week 15
    Finally files.

    Four providers, four invoices, and months gone.

With Globeia

One visit in Lusaka, one file, one team

  1. Day 1
    Requests a visit, pays once.

    Identity checked at his door in Lusaka, prints reviewed on the spot, Letter of Identity Verification issued.

  2. Week 1
    Form reaches Globeia Incorporated, Toronto.

    Digitised and submitted to the RCMP from inside Canada. Chanda follows it in Globeia SmartPortal.

  3. Week 3
    Result received and checked.

    Authentication requested the same day, then legalisation at the Embassy of Zambia in Ottawa, by the same team.

  4. Week 9
    Ready-to-file clearance in hand.

    One invoice, one reference, and the file ready for a new post in Lusaka.
