We obtain the original or the official electronic version.
We take the document through the form of recognition of the country of destination.

Several countries
Certificates from every country of previous residence
For residency and citizenship a certificate is often needed from every country where a person lived longer than a set period. We gather them into one project: one timeline, one coordinator, one set at the end.

Questions and answers
Questions about a certificate of no criminal record
In many countries yes, under a notarised power of attorney through our representative or through the official electronic service. Whether it is possible depends on the country: we check that before the work starts and say honestly if attendance in person is required.
Yes, that is the commonest request. The document is issued by the country you lived in, whatever your present country of residence — we work through partners on the ground.
As a rule yes: it gives the representative the right to file the request and collect the document. We prepare the form of the power of attorney ourselves and send it for signature before a notary.
Some countries issue the certificate only on fingerprints — on a request from abroad, for instance. If that is required, we explain the procedure and help arrange it.
A number of countries have an official electronic form verified by a QR code, and some recipients accept it on a par with paper. We check the recipient’s requirements in advance.
Yes, and for residency and citizenship that is the norm: a certificate is needed for every country of previous residence. Everything is run as one project with one timeline.
Yes. The sets for the applicant, the spouse and the adult children are run together so that the validity periods coincide with the date of filing.
It depends on the country of destination: if both countries are parties to the Hague Convention and the document is apostilled, an apostille is needed; otherwise consular legalisation. We settle the form from the pair of countries.
Usually yes — into the official language of the country of destination, or into English if the recipient allows. The form of certification of the translation is settled by the receiving body.
The document itself has no expiry, but recipients limit its age: most often certificates no older than three to six months are accepted. So we plan the obtaining around the date of filing rather than in advance.
From a few days to a few weeks depending on the country and the way it is filed. The apostille, the legalisation and the translation add the time of the bodies concerned.
On the country of issue, the way it is obtained, whether legalisation, translation and delivery are needed. The estimate is shown line by line: obtaining, the apostille or legalisation, the translation, the certification, the courier.
