Police certificate for abroad: when to obtain it, when to translate it?
A police certificate for abroad in a 30-second video
Video transcript
Today: a question we received on WhatsApp. I need a police certificate in English for a work visa. What do I do? First, check exactly what the foreign authority requires. Many authorities accept a certificate issued shortly before the application, so coordinate the issue date with the translation date. The notarized translation is made from the document issued to you, and the certificate and the notarial certification have separate apostille tracks.
Full explanation: Certified Translation of a Police Clearance Certificate. Certified English translation of a police clearance certificate, confirming the absence of a criminal record, for work visas, immigration and adoption abroad. Notarial certificate and apostille where required.
