Understanding Police Certificates
A police certificate is a crucial document often required for background checks, visa applications, immigration processes, and employment in sensitive sectors. It serves as an official statement of your criminal record or lack thereof. If you’re planning to use it in a country with a different official language, a certified translation of your police certificate becomes indispensable.
Our translations are delivered by professional, human translators who are fluent in both the source and target language. It also undergoes a rigorous multi-step review process to ensure accuracy and validity.

Why Professional Police Certificate Translation Matters
Police Certificates are legal documents, and even the smallest translation error can lead to delays, additional scrutiny, or outright rejection. Immigration officers, employers, and courts require translations that are accurate, consistent, and professionally certified, not machine-generated or informally prepared.
A professionally translated Police Certificate ensures your document is legally valid, clearly understood, and aligned with the requirements of the authority reviewing it.
Using a certified translator also helps you:
Avoid visa refusals or delays caused by incorrect or incomplete translations
Ensure acceptance by courts and legal authorities
Save time during legalisation or apostille processes, as certified translations meet official standards
Maintain accuracy in names, dates, and legal terminology, reducing the risk of disputes
