Criminal record certificate
Criminal record certificate translation
A Ukrainian criminal record certificate prepared for use abroad — apostilled, translated and certified as required.
How we work
A criminal record certificate is required for work visas, residence permits, citizenship, adoption and work with children. Its distinctive feature is a short shelf life: institutions normally accept a certificate issued within the last three or six months, so legalisation and translation are best done immediately after it is issued rather than kept in reserve.

Frequently asked questions
How long is a criminal record certificate valid?
The certificate itself does not expire, but institutions accept it only for a limited period — most often three or six months from issue. That is why legalisation and translation are done straight away rather than in advance.
Is the apostille placed on a paper or an electronic certificate?
That depends on the form of the certificate and on the destination country's requirements. A manager will confirm which form your case needs before submission.
Is a translation needed if the certificate is already bilingual?
Often yes: a bilingual form does not replace a translation into the destination language and does not remove the certification requirement. We check the specific institution's rule.
