Police and Court Records Translation

Immigration cases, visa interviews, employment checks and legal proceedings often require police certificates or court records in English. SurePage Translations prepares complete, certified English translations of Spanish-language police and court documents, signed by a qualified human translator and handled confidentially.

Records we translate

Police clearance certificates and criminal-record certificates (constancias de antecedentes no penales, certificados de antecedentes penales)
Background checks issued by national or state authorities
Court judgments, dismissals and dispositions (sentencias, resoluciones, autos)
Records showing that a case was closed, dismissed, pardoned or expunged
Police reports and related official correspondence
Certificates of finality and other court certifications

Confidential by design

Police and court records are sensitive. Your files are encrypted in storage and in transit. Your translator views them only in a secure, watermarked viewer while assigned to your order, and every translator signs confidentiality and data-security agreements. Staff access is restricted and logged. You can delete your documents from your account whenever you like.

Accuracy that holds up to review

Legal documents use precise terminology, and reviewers compare translations closely with the originals. Our translators:

Translate the complete document, including headers, case and file numbers, court names, judges' names, seals, stamps, signature notations and certifications
Translate legal terms accurately and consistently, adding a brief translator's note when a term has no direct English equivalent
Never summarize, soften or interpret the content; the translation says exactly what the original says
Keep names, dates and numbers exactly as written

What's included

A complete English translation that follows the original's structure.
A signed translator certification stating that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate from Spanish into English, naming the document translated.
A secure PDF by email and in your account, with printed copies by mail if needed.
Free corrections for 30 days after delivery.

Where these translations are used

USCIS filings, including naturalization (see Certified Translation for USCIS)
National Visa Center and consular processing, which often require police certificates from countries where you've lived

Employment, licensing and volunteer background checks

Each office sets its own requirements, for example which authority must issue a police certificate, how recently it must be issued, or whether a court record must be certified by the court. Check the instructions for your case, and if you have an attorney, ask them which records you need. We translate documents; we can't give legal advice about what to submit.

Frequently asked questions

Do you translate "no criminal record" certificates?

Yes. Certificates stating that a person has no criminal record (constancias de antecedentes no penales) are among the most common documents we translate.

Can you translate a long court file?

Yes. You'll see the page count, delivery time and total before you pay. If a file contains more than one record, you can split it into separate documents.

Will the translator see my personal information?

Only the translator assigned to your order sees your document, in a secure viewer, under confidentiality agreements. Access ends when the assignment ends.

Can you tell me which court records I need for my case?

No. We can't give legal advice. Your form's instructions or your attorney can tell you which records to submit; we'll translate them accurately.

Is the translation guaranteed to be accepted?

Acceptance is always the receiving office's decision, so we can't guarantee it. We prepare translations to the standard in USCIS's translation regulation and correct any error in our work free for 30 days.
