Certified Turkish Police Clearance Translation in London

What Certified Translation Means
What a certified police clearance translation involves
A police clearance certificate (also known as a criminal record or good-conduct certificate) confirms whether a person has any criminal convictions. A certified translation reproduces the subject’s personal details, the issuing authority, the period covered and the outcome of the check faithfully into the receiving country’s language, preserving names, dates, reference numbers, stamps and seals exactly as they appear on the source document.
Each certified police clearance translation is prepared by a qualified English–Turkish translator who is a Full Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIOL), supported by the Diploma in Public Service Interpreting (DPSI) in English–Turkish Law. It is issued with a signed Statement of Accuracy, the translator’s credentials and our bureau stamp, and formatted to mirror the layout of the original.
Acceptance is determined by the receiving institution. We prepare and certify translations to meet common submission standards and can tailor certification to a specific body where required.

Common Issues
Things to check before you send your document
A few common details affect the accuracy and completeness of a certified translation. Reviewing them beforehand helps the process run smoothly.
- Apostille attachments — police certificates destined for UK use often carry an apostille; include it in the scan so the certification is translated too.
- Stamps and seals — official stamps frequently carry the issuing authority’s details and must be captured in full.
- Outcome wording — the precise wording of the result (clear, recorded, or partial) must be rendered faithfully and unambiguously.
- Identity matching — names on the certificate must be transliterated consistently with the applicant’s other documents.
