Police clearance certificate or character reference translation in Vienna
Whether for a new job, a visa application, naturalisation, or a residence permit, in many cases authorities in Austria and abroad require a current police clearance certificate or character reference. To ensure that this document is valid outside Austria as well, you usually need a certified translation into the official language of the destination country.
Our experienced translation agency in Vienna supports you with fast and legally valid certified translations of police clearance certificates and character references. The translations are prepared by officially sworn translators and are recognised both in Austria and abroad.
When is a translation of the police clearance certificate required
- Job applications abroad
Many international companies require a current police clearance certificate in translated form during the application process, particularly for positions involving security responsibilities or a position of trust. - Residence or visa applications
When applying for a visa or permanent residence permit, proof of a clean record is often required. - Naturalisation or citizenship
For naturalisation in another country, an official police clearance certificate with a certified translation is often required. - Recognition of professional qualifications
In certain professions such as healthcare, education, or public service, a character reference must be presented, often in the language of the destination country. - Marriage abroad
Some countries require not only a birth certificate but also a police clearance certificate in order to register a marriage.
A police clearance certificate is only valid for a limited period. Therefore, always check the date of issue before submitting the document for translation. If the document is already older, it is advisable to request a new copy from the competent authority or police.
In some countries, additional confirmations such as an apostille are required alongside the certified translation, or the original police clearance certificate must be certified.
Please check with the competent consulate or the receiving authority about the exact requirements.
