Document-specific care

Reflect the scope of the issued record.
Prepared by human translators.

A background report can distinguish convictions, pending entries and the limits of the search. Those distinctions should remain visible; translation does not determine the legal consequences of an entry.

For criminal records, a good brief separates the original wording from any explanation you would like to add. Put instructions in a note so the translator can distinguish your request from the information in the source.

Source preparation

A complete translation brief.
Fewer unanswered questions.

Before requesting criminal records translation, check the entries that establish identity, dates and context. The working scope includes background-check entries, issuing bodies, dates, and explanatory notes. If a required detail appears in an attachment, send that attachment with the principal file.

For a multi-file criminal records request, use a short index describing what each file is. This makes it easier to identify an updated version or a missing page before translation work starts.

  • Death certificates — identity variants and issuing registry details
  • Divorce decrees — final orders, annexes and effective dates
  • Legal contracts — defined terms, exceptions and annexes

Official use, clearly scoped

The right certification.
The right next step.

For criminal records, the requested form of certification comes from the receiving organization. A signed accuracy statement may be appropriate; notarization, a translator affidavit or a particular professional status can be a separate requirement.

Tell Translate International about the destination before ordering criminal records translation. If an apostille is requested, the issuing authority and original document determine the authentication route. The translation itself does not replace that process.
