Country-Specific Knowledge

We Know Your Country’s Police Certificate Format

Every country names and issues its police certificate differently, and the Home Office is specific about which one it accepts. Here’s the most common gotcha for each top source.

🇵🇱 Poland · Zaświadczenie o niekaralności

The Krajowy Rejestr Karny (KRK) certificate of no criminal record. We render the ‘nie figuruje’ (no record) result unambiguously and preserve the KRK reference, as the Home Office checks the result and validity.

🇷🇴 Romania · Cazier judiciar

The cazier judiciar issued by the police. We preserve the issuing unit and the ‘nu este înscris’ (no record) statement, and the validity date the Home Office relies on.

🇮🇳 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.

🇵🇰 Pakistan · Police Character Certificate

Issued by the local police or via the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Urdu certificates and seals are translated in full, with the ‘no adverse report’ result rendered precisely.

🇨🇳 China · 无犯罪记录证明

The no-criminal-record certificate from the local Public Security Bureau or a notarial version; we translate the official text, seal and any notarial attestation.

🇷🇺 Russia / CIS · Справка о несудимости

A single-page MVD certificate of no conviction with a serial number; the patronymic is preserved in transliteration.

Every Language Routes Through the Same Trusted Pipeline

We translate police certificates both into English and from English into any target language. Whether your certificate is a Polish zaświadczenie, a Romanian cazier or an Indian PCC, every order follows the same quality-controlled process. You upload, we translate, certify and deliver – ready for the Home Office, an employer or a foreign authority.

FAQs

Criminal Record Check Translation: Common Questions

Does the Home Office require a certified translation of a foreign police certificate?+
Yes. Where UKVI requires a police certificate from a country you have lived in (for certain visa routes and settlement), a foreign-language certificate must be submitted with a complete certified English translation so the caseworker can read the result.
How much does it cost in the UK?+
£29.95 per page (1 page = 300 source words). A police certificate almost always fits on one page. No surcharge for rarer languages.
How fast can you translate it? These certificates expire.+
Standard turnaround is 24 hours, and most single-page certificates are delivered the same working day. Because many police certificates are valid for a limited window, fast turnaround keeps yours current for the application.
Do you translate a ‘no criminal record’ result correctly?+
Yes, and it is the most important line. We render ‘nie figuruje’, ‘nu este înscris’, ‘no adverse report’ and equivalents as a clear, unambiguous no-record statement, exactly as the source states it.
Can you translate a UK ACRO certificate for use abroad?+
Yes. We translate the UK ACRO Police Certificate from English into the language a foreign immigration authority or employer requires, with the same certified accuracy statement. A UK apostille (from £149.95) can be added for overseas use.
Do I need notarisation or an apostille?+
A signed Certificate of Accuracy is the standard for the Home Office. Emigrating abroad often needs an apostille on the certificate (from £149.95).
Can you translate a certificate that lists actual records?+
Yes. If the certificate shows convictions or pending matters, we translate every entry faithfully – offence, date, court and disposition – because accuracy protects you; nothing is added, omitted or softened.
