Translate a police clearance certificate

For visas, jobs or naturalisation the criminal record extract of the home country is often translated. blanko24 delivers the layout as a blank template.

What makes this document tricky?

Police clearance certificates are forms with a personal-data table, fields for entries, seals and often a QR code or security print. They are frequently copied several times and then faint and noisy.

Tips for a good result

  • QR codes and seals are not copied as tables – describe them in your translation.
  • With noisy copies, check in the editor that every row of the personal-data table was found.
  • Apostille or legalisation on its own page? Simply upload it as another page.

Why a template made from the original?

  • The layout of the original stays recognisable in the translation – reviewers find every field in the same place.
  • No more rebuilding merged cells, frames and header rows by hand in Word.
  • Broken and faint lines in the scan are closed, every cell is editable.

How the template is made

Frequently asked questions

Is the apostille copied too?

If the apostille is a separate page in the PDF and its form is printed with lines, blanko24 rebuilds it as a template page too. If it is only a stamp, describe it in your translation.

Is personal data stored?

No. Uploaded documents stay on servers in Germany and are deleted automatically after one hour at the latest.

Does blanko24 copy the text of the document?

No. blanko24 deliberately creates only the empty table structure. You translate and type the content yourself – the translation stays fully yours and no text recognition slips in errors.
