Expert Certified ACRO Police Certificate Translation Services
UK-issued ACRO Police Certificates are normally written in English. They may need translation into another language for an overseas embassy, visa authority, employer or legal submission. Tell us the destination country, required language and receiving organisation before ordering.

What We Offer
An ACRO Police Certificate translation should reflect the holder’s details, issue date, reference numbers, findings and visible official markings without altering their meaning. Send a complete legible copy and the destination authority’s instructions so the required translation and certification format can be confirmed.
An accuracy statement may accompany the translated ACRO certificate, depending on the agreed service and recipient’s requirements. Some overseas authorities also request notarisation or legalisation; these are additional processes and should be confirmed before work begins. A certification statement does not authenticate the underlying police record.
Required for visa and residency applications.
Necessary for court submissions and legal documentation.
Used for job applications requiring background checks.
Essential for further education applications.
Translation from English to Other Languages
Translation from Other Languages to English
Typical overseas uses include visa applications, employment screening and foreign residency procedures where a UK ACRO certificate is part of the document pack. Check which target language is required and whether the receiving authority specifies a sworn translator or notarisation.
Not every overseas authority accepts the same certification format. Share the actual receiving organisation’s instructions so the correct translation route can be identified before the order is confirmed.

What's the difference between certified, notarised, and sworn translation?
A certified translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy and meets the requirements of most UK official bodies. A notarised translation adds verification by a notary public, required by some courts and embassies. A sworn translation is a formal legal declaration by a recognised translator, required by certain countries and courts. We help you identify which level is right for your document and destination.
