Country-Specific Knowledge

We Know Your Country’s Police Certificate Format

Every country names and issues its police certificate differently, and USCIS and consulates are specific about which one they accept. We’ve translated them from every region. Here’s the most common gotcha for each top source.

🇲🇽 Mexico · Carta de No Antecedentes Penales

Issued by state Fiscalía or the Federal authority. We preserve the issuing entity and folio, and render a ‘sin antecedentes’ (no-record) result unambiguously, which is what USCIS checks.

🇮🇳 India · Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)

Issued by the Regional Passport Office or local police. Usually in English, but state-police versions in Hindi or a regional language need translation, with the seal and reference preserved.

🇨🇳 China · 无犯罪记录证明

The 无犯罪记录证明 (no-criminal-record certificate) from the local Public Security Bureau or a notarial version; we translate the official text, seal and any notarial attestation.

🇧🇷 Brazil · Certidão de Antecedentes Criminais

Federal (Polícia Federal) and state certidões. We preserve the validity date – often 90 days – and the nada consta (nothing on record) result exactly.

🇵🇭 Philippines · NBI Clearance

The NBI Clearance is largely in English with a photo and barcode; any local-language annotation and the ‘No Derogatory Record’ result are rendered precisely with the reference number.

🇷🇺 Russia / CIS · Справка о несудимости

A single-page MVD certificate of no conviction with a serial number; the patronymic is preserved in transliteration. Ukrainian and other CIS certificates follow the same structure.

Every Language Routes Through the Same Trusted Pipeline

We translate police clearances both into English and from English into any target language. Whether your certificate is a Mexican carta de no antecedentes, an Indian PCC or a Russian справка о несудимости, every order follows the same quality-controlled process. You upload, we translate, certify and deliver – ready for USCIS, a consulate or a foreign immigration authority.

FAQs

Police Clearance Translation: Common Questions

Does USCIS require a certified translation of a foreign police certificate?+
Yes. When USCIS or the National Visa Center requires a police certificate from a country where you lived, a foreign-language certificate must be submitted with a complete certified English translation. The certified translation is what lets the officer read the result.
How much does police clearance translation cost?+
$29.95 per page (1 page = 300 source words). A police clearance certificate almost always fits on one page. No surcharges for rarer languages, a printed hard copy by mail is available.
How fast can you translate it? These certificates expire.+
Standard turnaround is 24 hours, and most single-page certificates are delivered the same business day. Because many police certificates are only valid for a limited window (often 90 days to 6 months), fast turnaround keeps yours current for the interview.
Do you translate a ‘no criminal record’ result correctly?+
Yes, and it is the most important line. We render ‘sin antecedentes’, ‘nada consta’, ‘no derogatory record’ and equivalents as a clear, unambiguous no-record statement, exactly as the source states it, so the officer reads the result correctly.
Do I need notarization or apostille as well?+
USCIS does not require notarization of the translation. But emigrating to another country (Canada, Australia, the UK) or presenting the certificate to a foreign authority often requires an apostille on the certificate and sometimes a notarised translation. Notarization is $19.95 per order; apostille is $149.95 per document.
Can you translate a US background check for use abroad?+
Yes. We translate FBI Identity History Summaries and state background checks from English into the language a foreign immigration authority or employer requires, with the same certified accuracy statement.
Can you translate a certificate that lists actual records?+
Yes. If the certificate shows convictions or pending matters, we translate every entry faithfully – charge, date, court and disposition – because accuracy protects you; nothing is added, omitted or softened.
