The criminal record certificate, along with the certificate of pending charges, is one of the most
requested documents by foreign countries for citizenship applications, obtaining visas, work, and
study purposes.
As of today, there is no option to obtain the criminal record certificate in English. A translation is required.
Relying on professionals is the first step to take. In this guide, we will explain how to proceed.
Criminal Record Certificate in English: What is it?
The criminal record certificate is a document that shows your criminal record status.
It contains any criminal proceedings against you that have already resulted in a final conviction.
The certificate is valid for 6 months from the date of issuance and is valid nationwide.
This certificate is issued upon payment of stamp duties of 16 euros plus 3.92 euros for administrative fees.
The request can be made by the individual concerned or by an authorized representative.
Criminal Record Certificate in English: How to proceed?
If you decide to move abroad for work or study, the first document to prepare is the criminal record certificate in English.
Before translating it, certain stamps need to be applied. In fact, to be valid abroad, the certificate must first be apostilled. The apostille, which is applied to documents intended for countries that are part of the
Hague Convention, grants full international validity to the document.
