How the Fingerprint Submission Process Works

  • Contact ROCA for Instructions
    Tell us your city in Colombia, what you need the background check for, and whether you have a deadline. We’ll explain the fingerprint card specifications, required paperwork, and submission arrangements.
  • Have Your Fingerprints Taken in Colombia
    You can arrange fingerprint collection at a U.S. consulate, a local police station, or an authorized fingerprinting agency in Colombia, subject to availability. Contact the location first to confirm that it offers fingerprinting for an FBI background check, can complete the required fingerprint cards, and whether you need an appointment. Before your visit, request ROCA’s fingerprint card instructions so your provider knows which format and information are required.
  • Send Your Cards and Required Paperwork
    Follow ROCA’s instructions to package and send your fingerprint cards and supporting documents to the United States. Check that your personal information is complete and consistent across your forms, identification, and fingerprint cards.
  • Complete FBI Background Check Processing
    After your submission is received and processed, your FBI report is delivered through the applicable method. If you need an apostille, ROCA can coordinate that additional step after the report is issued.

Know What to Prepare Before You Ship

Your submission may require:

  • Current fingerprint cards completed to the required specifications
  • A completed order form
  • A clear copy of valid government-issued photo identification
  • Payment confirmation
  • Your personal contact and delivery information

ROCA will confirm the checklist for your request before you send your materials.

Clear fingerprints and complete paperwork help reduce avoidable resubmissions. Contact us first if you are unsure about the card format or instructions.

Need an Apostille After Your FBI Report Is Issued?

International paperwork can leave you wondering which office to contact, what to submit, and whether you’re missing a step.

We help with:

  • Reviewing your FBI report before submission

Need an Apostille After Your FBI Report Is Issued?

Fingerprinting, the FBI background check, and the apostille are separate steps:

  • Your fingerprints are collected.
  • The FBI background check is processed.
  • The report is submitted for a federal apostille when required.

ROCA can help coordinate background check processing and apostille services through one point of contact.

Tell us at the start if you need both services so your quote and timeline cover the full process.

As I looked for a company that could help with obtaining the FBI record and apostille while I’m here in Europe, Roca came up a couple of times. When I reached out, Shayla was super responsive and gave clear directions on every step of the process. From there, she was also very helpful and quick with questions at every step of the process. Now I’m here, with everything needed in hand, and feeling really appreciative of all the support along the way. Thank you, all.
