Work Visas And Job Offers

Collect your file
One translator writes it, a second reads it back against the original, then the notary and SAL steps run only if your case needs them.
Why Our Police Clearance Certificate Translators Catch The Small Print
A clearance is short, which fools people into thinking it is simple. Everything that matters sits in the small print, and the cards below show what our team checks before your police clearance document leaves us.
Wording Copied, Never Softened
Whatever the force wrote is what appears in English. We do not tidy a charge or trim a line, because your page is read side by side with the original.
Reference Numbers Carried Across
The file number, the issuing force and the officer's rank all move over. These are what a checker uses to confirm your sheet is real.
Handled Quietly And Kept Private
A record is sensitive by nature. Only the translator and the checker open your file, and nothing is discussed with anyone outside that pair.
We Flag A Date Running Out
Many offices only take a clearance issued within the last few months. If yours looks close to the edge, we say so before you pay us anything.
Real PCC Translation Service Job: Nine Days, One Missing Name
Regional wording on the seal, a reference number half printed, and a middle name that appeared on the passport but not on the clearance. Here is what we found and how the file still went in on time.
Record Sheet Translation
Issued five weeks before the deadline
The catch: his middle name sat on the passport but never appeared on the clearance.

What we did
One sheet, one honest note

Common Questions On Certified Police Clearance Translation In Singapore
Everything applicants ask us before sending a record sheet across, answered the way we would say it on the phone. If your worry is not listed, message us and you will get a plain reply.
FAQ Group
Mine says no record found. Does a blank sheet still need translating?
Yes, and this catches a lot of people out. A clean sheet still has to be read. The officer wants the issuing force, the date, the reference number and the exact line that says nothing was found. A page nobody can read proves nothing at all, so the shortest clearance gets the same care as the longest one.
Will a certified page clear ICA, or is a notary needed?
ICA takes a translation from the embassy of the issuing country, from a notary public here or in that country, or a private translation that is later notarised or embassy attested. A company stamp on its own is not on that list. ICA also endorses no translation firm, so any promise of approval is empty. Since 1 October 2019, anything a notary here signs must also go to the Academy of Law.
How long will my clearance stay valid?
The office reading it decides, not the force that issued it and certainly not us. Many want one issued within the last three or six months. Check the date before you order, because paying to translate a sheet that has already aged out is money thrown away. If yours is near the edge, say so and we will start the same day.
There is an old offence on mine. Will you translate that too?
We translate exactly what is printed, entry by entry. Nothing is softened, shortened or quietly dropped, because the officer holds your English page beside the original. Where the source itself is unclear we mark it as unclear rather than guess. What the record means for your chances is a question for a lawyer, and we will say so honestly rather than pretend otherwise.
My name on the clearance does not match my passport
Very common, especially with a missing middle name or a surname written first. We cannot change what the force printed and would never try. What we do is follow your passport wherever the original allows it, then attach a short note explaining the difference. Send the passport page with the scan so we can see both sides properly.
Will anyone else see what is on my record?
No. A record sheet is about as private as paperwork gets, so only the translator on your job and the person checking it ever open the file. The notary sees it because a signature is required, nobody else does. Ask us and we will put that arrangement in writing before you send anything across.
Can you help me apply for the clearance itself?
No, and we would rather say that plainly. Only the police force in that country, or its embassy here, can issue one. What we do is turn the sheet into English once you hold it. Some embassies do ask for supporting papers in English before they will act, and that part we can certainly handle for you.
Is a phone photo enough, or do you want the original?
A sharp photo or a scan does the job and your sheet stays with you. Lay it flat, shoot straight down in daylight, and make sure the seal and the reference number are crisp. Those two are what a checker looks at first. Should a notary need to sight the original, we will warn you well ahead of the day.
I have lived in three countries. Do I need a sheet from each?
Usually yes, for anywhere you spent a real stretch of time as an adult. Each force words its sheet differently, which is why sending them in one order matters. Your name then reads identically across all of them, and that consistency is exactly what the officer is checking as he lays the pages out.
My employer wants it before my start date. How fast can you go?
A single sheet can be back in 12 to 24 hours on the same day plan, and HR teams almost always accept the PDF while the sealed copy follows. Send the scan with your start date and the company name. If a notary is somehow involved, that runs to other people's diaries and we will tell you straight away.
Ours came back rejected last time. What normally goes wrong?
Almost always one of a handful of things. No notary where the office asked for one. The seal or the reference number left untranslated. A name that reads differently from the passport. Or a sheet that had simply gone out of date. Send us the old page and whatever the officer wrote back, and we will name the fault before redoing anything.
Do you handle an SKCK, a Fuhrungszeugnis or an NBI clearance?
All of them, along with the Chinese no criminal record letter, the Vietnamese judicial record card and the French bulletin. The name on the paper changes from country to country but the job does not. Send a photo and we will confirm what you are holding before we quote you anything.
Mine is a QR code printout with no wet stamp. Is that a problem?
Not for us. Plenty of forces now issue a digital sheet with a code instead of a stamp, and we translate those every week. Send the whole page as it came, code included, without cropping anything away. Whether the office you are filing with wants a printed original is a question worth asking them first.
Can a company send several staff records together?
Yes. Recruiters, security firms and manpower agencies send us batches most months. Every sheet is still read by a person and checked by a second, and you get one contact, one invoice and one delivery date for the lot. Tell us the volume and the deadline and we will say honestly what we can hold to.
