Where it gets filed

Trust, verified across a border.

Background checks move in both directions: foreign reports coming into US hiring and licensing, and FBI or state checks going out to foreign employers, residence programs, and adoption authorities. Either way, the reader is verifying trust through a document they otherwise could not read.

Employers and HR

International hires arrive with checks from previous countries. A certified translation lets compliance teams apply the same standard to every candidate instead of waving the foreign file through.

Licensing and certification

Boards for healthcare, education, security, and finance require background documentation from every jurisdiction an applicant has lived in — translated, certified, and consistent with the identity documents beside it.

Foreign filings of US checks

Residence permits, work visas, and foreign adoptions routinely ask for FBI or state checks translated into the destination language. We translate out of English as well as into it.

Tenancy and institutions

Landlords, schools, and volunteer programs increasingly ask newcomers for background documentation. A certified translation converts a foreign report into something they can actually evaluate.

What gets translated

The full report, nothing summarized.

A background check is a structured report: scope, identifiers, findings, and authentication. Each part is translated completely, because a reader who suspects summarizing stops trusting the whole document.

  • Scope and period searched

    Which registers were checked and for what period — the frame that gives any finding its meaning — translated exactly.

  • Findings and dispositions

    Results rendered in precise terms, whether the report is clean or carries history. No softening, no hardening.

  • Reference and file numbers

    Report identifiers reproduced exactly, preserving the chain back to the issuing agency.

  • Agency marks and codes

    Letterheads, stamps, signatures, and verification codes described in place — the parts that make the report checkable.

  • Identity particulars

    Names, dates of birth, and ID numbers rendered consistently with the passport and documents filed alongside.

  • Negative results included

    “Nothing found” is a finding. Clean reports get the same complete certified treatment, because that sentence is what the reviewer needs to read.

What you receive

  • A signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy meeting USCIS requirements.
  • Formatting that mirrors the original: stamps, seals, tables and signatures.
  • One PDF, ready to file, kept in your dashboard for re-download.
  • The exact total shows before you pay. We count words instead of rounding up to pages, so a short document costs less than a dense one.

Every file and session is covered by an NDA and sent over an encrypted connection. Clinical matters are handled in line with HIPAA.

Before you order

Getting a check accepted the first time.

Match the check to the request

National police certificate, FBI identity history, state check, commercial screening report — receivers usually name which one they want. Translating the wrong species of check is the most common wasted order; check the request’s wording first.

Watch the validity window

Most receivers only accept checks issued within the last three to six months. Order the translation as soon as the report is issued so the window is spent on your application, not on logistics.

Multi-country histories multiply paperwork

Lived in three countries? Expect three checks in up to three languages. We handle them as one order with one glossary of your identity particulars, so every report reads as the same person.

FAQ

The questions that actually come up.

The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.

Can't find it here?

01Do you translate US background checks into other languages too?

Yes. FBI identity history summaries and state checks are regularly translated out of English for foreign residence permits, work visas, and adoption processes — by native speakers of the target language, with the same signed Certificate of Accuracy. Ask the receiving authority which language and format they require, and we will match it.

02Will a US employer or licensing board accept your translation of my foreign check?

Yes — they receive a complete certified translation with a signed Certificate of Accuracy, which is the format compliance and licensing reviews are built around. Scope lines and dispositions are rendered precisely, because that is the part their decision actually rests on.

03My check is a commercial screening report, not a police certificate. Can you translate it?

Yes — agency screening reports are translated the same way, structure and all. But check what your receiver asked for first: a request for a police certificate is not satisfied by a commercial report in any language, and no translation fixes that mismatch.

04The report includes my ID numbers. Are they translated?

Identity numbers are reproduced exactly as printed — they are identifiers, not language. Names and descriptive fields around them are translated, with renderings kept consistent with your passport so the report attaches to you cleanly.

05How is the price calculated?

By word count. Upload the report, we count the words, and the exact total shows before you pay — starting at $24.95. Structured one-page reports sit at the starting price; longer multi-jurisdiction reports are priced by their actual length.

06How quickly can I get it back?

Rush delivery is available when an offer or filing deadline is close. The quote states your delivery time before you pay.
