Translation of a criminal record extract

Do you need an official translation of your criminal record extract? You're in the right place. We're happy to help. 

What is an official translation of a criminal record extract?

An official translation is the only recognized form of translation. Each official translation is prepared by an authorized translator with valid accreditation from the Ministry of Justice of the Slovak Republic. An official translation is sometimes colloquially referred to as a court translation, officially certified translation, notarized translation, or translation with a stamp. All of these designations refer to the same thing: an official translation.

What languages ​​can you provide an official translation of a criminal record extract?

We work with all world languages. Most often, we receive requests for official translation from English and German into Slovak. However, if needed, we can provide official translations to Slovak and from all major world languages ​​and many smaller languages ​​as well.

How long does it take to translate a criminal record extract officially?

It all depends on the situation. The most important factor in determining the deadline for us is the language combination. If you need an official translation from English or German, we can act very quickly. For these two languages, we can provide an official translation of a criminal record extract within a few hours if necessary.

How much does an official translation of a criminal record extract cost?

To determine the specific price, we need to see the document. The reason is that we translate not only Slovak criminal record extracts but also those from abroad. All of them have their specific characteristics and may not have the same number of pages or volume of text.

Is it necessary to bind the translation with the original extract?

The final decision is always yours, but we recommend binding the official translation of the criminal record extract with the original. The reason is that each extract has its "lifespan," and thus its validity is time-limited by the requirement of the institution for which you are obtaining the translation.

Can you provide a standard translation of a criminal record extract?

Yes, of course. However, it should be noted that such a translation does not make sense. It is unlikely that institutions would recognize such a translation. If you are unsure, give us a call, and we will be happy to advise you.
