Police Clearance Certificate Translation Services
- Translation for Official Acceptance
- Accurate, Delivered Fast
When a visa, job offer, or immigration application depends on your paperwork being accepted first time, you cannot afford a translation that is incomplete, inconsistent, or “close enough”.
Urgent Certified Translation provides police clearance certificate translation (also known as police clearance translation, criminal record translation, police record translation, and background check translation services) for official use—accurately formatted, professionally checked, and delivered with the certification most authorities expect.
What we translate
We translate police and background-check documents issued worldwide, including:
Police Clearance Certificates (PCC)
Police Certificates / Certificates of Good Conduct
Criminal Record Checks / Extracts
Background Checks
Country-specific police records (including multi-page certificates and annexes)
If your certificate includes stamps, signatures, QR codes, reference numbers, barcodes, watermarks, or annotations, we will translate or clearly note them so the receiving authority can understand what is on the original.
What you receive
Your translation is prepared for official submission, not casual reading.
You’ll receive:
- A complete, accurate translation (including headers, footers, stamps, and seals)
- Careful handling of names, dates, addresses, and ID numbers for consistency
- Formatting that mirrors the original layout where it helps readability
- A signed certification statement confirming the translation is complete and accurate
- Digital delivery as a print-ready PDF (and editable format on request)
- Optional hard copy delivery if your authority requires it
If the authority asks for a minor change in formatting or wording (without changing the meaning), we’ll revise it promptly at no extra cost.
- How It Works

You'll receive a clear quote based on language, length, and deadline—no surprises.
Translation + quality check
Your translation is produced, reviewed, and prepared with the correct certification wording.
Delivery
You receive your certified translation by email as a professional PDF. If you need printed copies, ask about delivery options when you submit.

Need other certifications for your document?
You can also request:
Certified Translation
Best for most official and administrative uses. A certified translation confirms that the translation is accurate and complete and is supplied with an appropriate certification statement.
Apostille/Legalisation
If you’re submitting documents internationally, you may need authentication for cross-border recognition. This is common for overseas authorities, international study/work, and certain legal processes.
“The best decision I’ve made for my documents. The translation service is accurate, dependable, and ensures my paperwork is accepted worldwide.”
Notarised Translation
A notarised translation adds an extra layer of verification. This is typically requested when a receiving party need formal confirmation of the translator’s identity/signature.
Sworn Translation
Some countries require sworn translators appointed/recognised by courts or official bodies. If your destination authority specifies “sworn translation”, tell us the country and purpose.
Why professional police clearance translation matters
Police clearance documents are sensitive and often reviewed by strict gatekeepers. A small issue can trigger delays, rejections, or re-submission requests.
Common reasons applications get held up include:
- Missing translations for stamps/seals or “small print”
- Names transliterated differently from the passport
- Dates converted incorrectly (or mixed formats)
- Omitted reference numbers, issuer details, or validity notes
- No certification statement, or a statement missing key details
With Urgent Certified Translation, your criminal record translation is handled with the same care you would expect for a legal submission—checked for completeness, consistency, and presentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a certified translation of my police clearance certificate?
If you’re submitting to an immigration authority, embassy, court, licensing body, or employer in a different-language country, you typically need a certified translation. If you tell us the destination and purpose, we’ll confirm what certification level is appropriate.
Can you translate a criminal record check and a police clearance certificate?
Yes. We handle criminal record translation and police clearance translation for official submissions, including multi-page certificates, annexes, and issuer notes.
Will you translate stamps, seals, signatures, and handwritten notes?
Yes. We translate all meaningful visible content and will also note stamps/seals/signatures clearly so the translation matches what the authority sees on the original.
What do you need from me to start?
A clear scan or photo of the document, the source and target language, and where it will be submitted. If you have a deadline, include it.
Can you do urgent police clearance certificate translation?
Often, yes. Send your document and deadline and we’ll confirm the fastest reliable turnaround available for your language pair and document complexity.
Do you provide notarised translations too?
If your receiving organisation specifically requires notarisation, we can support with notarised translation options. Tell us the country/organisation so we can advise correctly.
Do I need an apostille on the translation or the original?
It depends on the destination country and what they require. Some require legalisation of the original, some require legalisation of a notarised translation package. Share the destination and we’ll guide you.
Can I use a phone photo, or do you need a scan?
A phone photo is fine if it’s sharp, complete (all corners visible), and readable. If anything is unclear, we’ll ask for a clearer copy before translating.
Do you offer background check translation services for employment screening?
Yes. We translate background checks and related documents for HR, compliance, safeguarding, and regulated roles—accurately and confidentially.
Will my translation be accepted by immigration authorities and embassies?
We prepare translations to meet common official requirements and include a proper certification statement. If an authority requests a formatting adjustment or clarification, we’ll amend it quickly.
Can you translate into English and from English into other languages?
Yes. We handle translations both into English and from English into other languages for overseas submissions.
How much does police clearance certificate translation cost?
Pricing depends on page count, language pair, turnaround, and whether you need notarisation/hard copies. Send your document for a clear, fixed quote.
