Comparing FBI Background Check Services in Colombia: OnCallColombia vs. ExpatGroup vs. GlobeIA

If you're applying for a Colombian visa, you’ll almost certainly need an FBI background check with apostille. But figuring out how to get it from abroad—especially from Colombia—can be confusing, time-consuming, and expensive if you don’t choose the right provider.

In this guide, we break down the key differences between the three most commonly used providers: OnCallColombia, ExpatGroup, and GlobeIA.

🆚 Side-by-Side Comparison Table

🔍 Key Takeaways

1. Fingerprinting Matters

Only OnCallColombia offers mobile fingerprinting—we come to your home, hotel, or office. ExpatGroup requires you to visit their office, and GlobeIA asks you to fingerprint yourself and mail it to their U.S. office.

This single difference can delay your process by weeks, especially if your prints are rejected.

2. Fastest Turnaround Time

OnCallColombia is the only provider offering 24–48 hour FBI report delivery. Other services average 3–5 weeks just for the report.

When time matters—whether for a visa deadline or a legal process—waiting 25 to 55 days simply isn’t realistic.

3. Apostille Speed & Cost

• OCC: 10 business days, $145 flat (includes scanned copy)

• ExpatGroup: 10–15 business days, $150

• GlobeIA: 4–6 weeks, $175 (with expedited scanned copy)

Our apostille timeline is shorter—and we don’t tack on hidden fees.

4. Translation & Visa-Ready Packages

OnCallColombia and ExpatGroup offer certified Spanish translations and full visa packages. GlobeIA does not.

We handle translation, apostille, and digital delivery all in one go. You get a PDF ready for Migración, with no extra steps.

5. Customer Support

• OnCallColombia: 24/7 support via real-time WhatsApp

• ExpatGroup: WhatsApp available (72hr response, business hours only)

• GlobeIA: Email or ticket-based

When you're facing Colombian bureaucracy, having real-time, local help makes all the difference.

👤 Who Is Each Service Best For?

• OnCallColombia – You want speed, convenience, and real human support. Great for digital nomads, business travelers, and professionals under time pressure.

• ExpatGroup – You’re already working with them for visa services and don’t mind going into their office or waiting 1–2 months.

• GlobeIA – You’re DIY-ing the process and want a low-touch option with no in-person help.
