Certified background check translation services
For a visa, a new job, or an adoption file, your police clearance has to arrive certified or it gets set aside. We translate and certify it at $24.10 per page, deliver inside 48 hours, and guarantee it clears.
A background check in the wrong language can end an application you have waited months for
A background check goes by many names: police clearance, criminal record check, certificate of good conduct. Whatever it is called, it shows up at the moments that matter most, like immigration, a visa, a new job, an adoption, or a professional license. When the certificate was issued in another language, the authority reviewing it requires a certified translation before it counts. Without one, the file simply does not move.
What trips people up is not the clearance itself. It is the translation around it. An uncertified document, a layout that no longer matches the original, or a single inaccurate line is enough to trigger a delay, a denial, or a loss of eligibility for the thing you were applying for. After months of waiting, that is a costly setback over a fixable detail.
This is exactly what certified background check translation services are for. ABC Translations gets that detail right. Native-speaking professional translators render your background check word for word, preserve the original formatting, and attach a signed certification statement. Reviewers insist on exactly that, which is why every order carries our promise of acceptance: U.S. immigration officials, federal and state courts, the State Department, consular offices, universities, and the licensing boards that regulate professions around the globe all honor it.
Here is the deal in plain terms: $24.10 per page, back in your hands within 48 hours, and a faster option when the clock is against you. Revisions are unlimited and cost you nothing, so if a reviewer flags any phrase, we fix it for free. More than 255,000 customers have cleared exactly that hurdle with us over 25 years, trusting certified background check translations at the moments that cannot afford a delay.

I purchased a translation on Friday and expected a 24-hour turnaround but also ordered a notary not knowing it wasn't part of the estimated time. Unsurprisingly I needed it immediately. I emailed support and within a few hours, it was completely signed and notarized! Hats off to y'all!
Amazing service! My translation was done in 2 hours. All done on time, the right way, and the price was very good! Highly recommend.
I reached out to them last Friday for an emergency translation. They got back within the hour. ETA was 24 hours. Since it was a Friday, I expected Monday, but it was completed on Saturday. Accurate and on time, great job!

Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear answers to the questions people most often ask about working with us. See how the workflow runs, what it costs, how long it takes, where documents are accepted, which notarization choices exist, and the way finished files reach you.
Which background check documents does USCIS expect translated?
For immigration, USCIS typically wants a police certificate from your country of origin, police clearance certificates from any country where you lived six months or longer since age 16, court or disposition records if you have a criminal history, and military service records when they apply. Any of these not originally in English needs a certified translation to go with it.
Each document is translated word for word with a signed certification statement so the file meets USCIS requirements.
Will USCIS, consulates, and licensing boards accept your background check translation?
Yes. Yes. Every certified background check we translate carries a promise of acceptance, honored by immigration officials at USCIS, the courts, the State Department, consular offices, universities, and professional licensing boards across the world. We have prepared thousands of them for green card applications, citizenship cases, and visa petitions with no rejections, and each one ships with the required Certificate of Accuracy and the translator's credentials. We have translated thousands for green card applications, citizenship cases, and visa petitions without rejection, each carrying the required Certificate of Accuracy and translator credentials.
Is a police clearance the same thing as a background check for translation?
Yes. Police clearances, criminal record checks, and certificates of good conduct are all handled the same way, with a certified, word-for-word translation and a signed certification statement. We translate these from police departments, national registries, and government agencies across different legal systems in 120+ languages.
How do you keep my criminal history details accurate in translation?
Background checks demand precision, so our translators carefully verify dates, names, case numbers, and the exact wording documenting offenses or stating no criminal record. Whether your check shows a clean record or specific offenses, the translation conveys the nature of any offense, its dates, and its disposition accurately, and a quality review catches errors before delivery so nothing is misrepresented.
What happens to the official stamps and seals on my background check?
Official stamps, seals, and signatures are described in the translation rather than copied. For example, the translation may note Official stamp of the National Police or Seal of the Ministry of Interior. This preserves the official, authenticated nature of your document while meeting certified translation requirements.
How fast is background check translation, and what does it cost?
A police certificate usually runs one or two pages and lands within 48 hours at $24.10 per page, so most checks come to somewhere between $24.10 and $44.20. Need it the same day for an immigration, adoption, or employment deadline? A rush option is open, and revisions stay unlimited at no extra cost.
