Where police certificates are required

Police clearance certificates, also called criminal record or background check certificates, are required for many immigrant visas, naturalization cases, adoptions and professional licensing. They are issued by the police or justice authority of the country where you lived.

Translating a "no record" certificate

Most certificates state that the person has no criminal record, and the exact wording of that statement matters. It is translated literally rather than paraphrased, together with the issuing authority, the document number, the validity period and any verification code, so the reader can confirm it is genuine.

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 a page is up to 250 words.

A standard translation is for business or personal use where certification is not needed, such as CVs, client intake forms or marketing material, and is billed at $0.10 per word.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a certified translation of my police certificate?

Yes, when you file it with USCIS or another US agency and it is not in English. The translation must be complete and certified.

Do you translate the verification code and seals?

Yes. Seals, stamps, document numbers and online verification codes are all carried over, because they are how the certificate is authenticated.

My certificate has an expiry date. Does that matter?

Many police certificates are only valid for a limited time. We translate the validity period as stated; whether it is still acceptable is decided by the agency receiving it.
