Certified Moldovan Criminal Record Certificate Translation

eVerbary translates your Moldovan criminal record certificate into English for $24.95 per page with no word cap, by a professional human translator, with a signed certification. Most orders are delivered within a few hours. Accepted by USCIS and by US universities, colleges and schools, or your money back.

The detailed certificate, not the standard one

Moldovan criminal record certificates are issued by the Information Technology Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MAI), at str. Iacob Hâncu 3A in Chisinau. Residents can apply online on the government services portal, through district police stations, at certain banks, or at the MAI itself; Moldovans abroad apply through a Moldovan consulate or a representative in Moldova with a notarized power of attorney. A representative can also collect it.

For US immigration, the State Department asks for the detailed certificate (Certificat de cazier detaliat), issued only in Romanian on paper with a QR code. It states that the ordinary Certificat de cazier judiciar is no longer accepted for immigration purposes. If you are applying for an immigrant visa, check which one you have before you order a translation, because the short version will be returned to you.

Translating the certificate

We translate the whole certificate: the holder's name and personal code (IDNP), the issuing service, the date, any convictions or the statement that none are recorded, and the QR code area, whose surrounding text we translate while noting the code itself. Names are transliterated as printed, and we follow the passport spelling where you ask. Legal terms are rendered with their standard English equivalents, never softened or summarised.

Because the certificate reflects a single date, many offices want one that is recent; check the receiving office's rules before ordering. If a court judgment is relevant, translate it too; see court translations. See also the Moldovan identity card page and our Romanian 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.
