Order nowWhere it gets filed
A document where wording carries consequences.
Few translations carry stakes like a criminal record. The difference between charged and convicted, or dismissed and acquitted, changes what a decision-maker may do with your case. This is a document where precision is not a quality goal — it is the entire product.
Green cards and naturalization
Immigration processes require police certificates from countries you have lived in. Officers read dispositions word by word against legal standards, so the translation renders them exactly — including the certificates that say “no record found.”
Embassies and visas
Work, residence, and long-stay visa applications routinely require recent police certificates, translated. Validity windows are short, which is why fast turnaround matters on this document more than most.
Employers and licensing boards
Background requirements for regulated professions reach across borders. A certified translation lets a licensing board evaluate the actual record instead of an applicant’s summary of it.
Courts and legal proceedings
Prior-record evidence, character assessments, and sentencing submissions may draw on foreign records. Attorneys need the terminology exact enough to argue over — which is how we translate it.
What gets translated
Legal terms of art, not approximations.
Criminal-record language is a system of precise categories that differ between legal traditions. The translation preserves those categories instead of flattening them into familiar-sounding English.
Dispositions, exactly
Charged, convicted, acquitted, dismissed, expunged, pending — each rendered as the issuing system defines it, because these words decide outcomes.
Statute references as citations
Article and code references reproduced as citations rather than paraphrased, so a lawyer can look up precisely what the entry cites.
“No record” certificates
A clean certificate still needs a complete certified translation — its official phrasing and scope are exactly what the reviewer must see.
Seals and verification codes
Authority seals, signatures, and QR or verification codes described in place, preserving the checkable chain to the issuer.
Identity particulars
Names, birth dates, and identity numbers rendered consistently with your passport, so the record attaches to you and only you.
Dates and jurisdictions
Every date, court, and jurisdiction carried across exactly — the skeleton a reviewer reconstructs the history from.

Before you order
Official certificate or printout — only one of them files well.
Many countries now offer instant online record checks alongside formally issued certificates. They are not equivalent in a filing, and translating the wrong one wastes its short validity window.

Recent — inside the receiver’s validity window
The document consulates and USCIS mean when they say police certificate. Check the validity window your receiver applies before ordering the translation.

Anyone could have produced it
Reviewers discount what they cannot verify. If all you have is a portal result, request the formal certificate — many portals can issue one with a verification code in minutes.
We translate whichever document you hold, exactly as issued — but if the formal certificate is available, it is the one worth translating.

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?
01Will USCIS accept your criminal record translation?
Yes. Every order is a complete English translation with a signed Certificate of Accuracy, which is the standard for foreign-language evidence. On records with history, dispositions are rendered with legal precision rather than smoothed over — reviewers compare that wording against legal standards, and so do we.
02My certificate says no record was found. Do I really need it translated?
Yes — the reviewer needs to read the official statement that nothing was found and the scope of the search behind it. An untranslated clean certificate proves nothing to someone who cannot read it. These are quick orders and usually sit at the starting price.
03My record shows a case that was dismissed. Will the translation make that clear?
The translation renders exactly what the record states, using the precise disposition terms of the issuing system — dismissed is dismissed, not blurred toward conviction or omission. What a reviewer concludes from it is a legal question for you and your attorney; our job is that the words they weigh are the right ones.
04The certificate is only valid for 90 days. How fast can you translate it?
Rush delivery is available. A practical tip: order the translation as soon as the certificate is issued, so the validity window is spent on your filing rather than on logistics.
05How is the price calculated?
By word count. Upload the certificate, we count the words, and the exact total shows before you pay — starting at $24.95. Police certificates are short; multi-page records with history are priced by what is actually on the pages.
06Is my record kept confidential?
Yes. Files are transferred and stored encrypted, access is limited to the assigned linguists, and documents are never shared or published. If you want your files deleted after delivery, tell us and we will confirm it.
