Sworn translations of a criminal record are a very popular service to certify the absence or existence of a criminal record.
In addition, it must be legalised by the Ministry of Justice and is valid for only three months.
When is a sworn translation of a criminal record required?
It is very common that this document is required when applying for a work or residence permit or citizenship in the country of residence, as well as:
- Scholarship applications
- Obtaining a visa
- Accessing the job market
- Enrolling in the education system
- Obtaining arms and explosives licences
- Applying for citizenship
- Obtaining a residence permit
- Obtaining a work permit
- Contracting of protection and security services
The original document usually has to be legalised beforehand. In this case, the criminal record certificate is issued together with the Hague Apostille to certify its authenticity and effectiveness before judicial bodies.
However, it is advisable to check the particular requirements with the organisation or administration requesting the sworn translation of a criminal record. It is important to know in advance if the Hague Apostille must be added before any sworn translation is made, as it must also be translated.
These sworn translations must be translated by translators appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs to guarantee their veracity and legality before any official body.
These must include the stamp and signature of the sworn translator appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They are therefore legally responsible for the accuracy of the content of the translation in relation to the original document.
