What matters in the translation
Police certificates contain details that must stay unambiguous
Small differences in names, dates, issuing bodies or record wording can matter when a certificate is being reviewed. The translation should reflect the source document accurately rather than simplifying or interpreting it.
Issuing authority
Police force, ministry, government department or other issuing-body details are retained clearly.
Record status
Statements about criminal records, background checks or good conduct are translated as they appear in the source.
Dates & validity
Issue dates, periods covered and any validity information shown on the source are included accurately.
Stamps & seals
Official seals, stamps, signatures and handwritten annotations are identified where visible.
Multi-page certificates
All relevant pages should be provided so the translation can preserve the full document context.

FAQ
Police clearance certificate translation questions
Do I need a certified translation of my police clearance certificate?
If the certificate is not in the language required by the receiving organisation, a certified translation may be requested for visa, employment, legal, academic or other official submissions. Check the recipient’s exact requirements.
How long does a police clearance certificate translation take?
Standard delivery is typically 2–3 working days. Timing can depend on document length, language pair, certification type and availability.
Will the translation be accepted by UK authorities?
The translation is prepared in a certified format intended for official use. Final acceptance is always determined by the receiving authority, so follow any instructions it provides.
Do you provide notarised police certificate translations?
Notarisation can be arranged when the receiving authority specifically requests it. Apostille or legalisation support may also be relevant for some overseas processes.
Can I upload a scan or phone photo?
Yes. Use a clear, complete image showing the full document, including stamps, seals, signatures, handwritten notes and any text on the reverse.
What if the name spelling differs from my passport?
Tell us about the variation when ordering and provide the established English spelling you use. The translation still needs to reflect the source accurately, and the receiving authority may ask for supporting evidence.
