Certified Translation of Police Certificates (Criminal Records)

Why do I need a translation of my police certificate?

A certified translation of your police certificate (also known as a criminal record) is required by various Canadian organizations to verify your background. These include:

• Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)
• Schools and universities
• Employment agencies
• Employers

We provide translations from over 50 languages.

Is a notarized copy required for police certificates?

Important: No. Unlike other documents for IRCC, when submitting a translated police certificate, you must attach the original police certificate to the translation. A notarized 'true copy' is not required for this specific document. You can learn more about notarization requirements for other documents here.
