Issued only for visas and adoption
Hong Kong's police certificate is the Certificate of No Criminal Conviction (CNCC), issued by the Hong Kong Police Force under the Commissioner of Police and embossed with the seal of the Identification Bureau. The police issue it only in connection with a visa application or a child adoption. The applicant needs a request letter from the consulate, immigration authority or government body that names the applicant, states that a CNCC is required and gives the authority's postal address, because the result is sent there by registered mail rather than to the applicant.
Applicants outside Hong Kong have had to apply online through the police Online Applications Platform since 1 January 2026, and from 30 March 2026 most applicants who log in with iAM Smart no longer submit fingerprints. An application is not processed while the applicant is under police investigation, is a defendant in criminal proceedings, or has unpaid fines, traffic fines included. The State Department asks applicants not to have the certificate sent directly to the National Visa Center.
Court and prison records
Where there is a record, other documents may be needed. A Certificate of Trial is an extract from the case register of the Magistrates' Courts, requested in writing from the First Clerk of the magistracy with the case number; magistracy records are usually kept for about three years, and District Court or High Court cases go through the Registrar of that court. A Certificate of Imprisonment comes from the Correctional Services Department on Form OPS003. We translate each with its stamps and case numbers.
If the certificate or court extract you have is entirely in English, USCIS does not need a translation; any Chinese text needs a full one, and we translate the name and identity card number searched exactly as printed. Because the CNCC goes to the requesting authority, the translation is most often needed for court extracts and older records in your own file. See the Hong Kong identity card page and our Chinese page.
What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a CNCC for a job application?
No. The police issue it only for visa applications and adoption. We translate the certificate or any court extract you hold.
The certificate was sent to the consulate, not to me.
That is how the CNCC works. If you need a translation of court records for your own file, we translate those.
I have a Certificate of Trial from a magistracy.
We translate it in full, with the case number, charges, outcome and court stamp.
