Police Certificate Translation Services
DTS provides translations of police certificates (also known as Police Clearance Certificates or Criminal Record Certificates) that are readily accepted in the UK. Whether you’re applying for a visa, immigrating, or starting a new job, we make the process straightforward and stress-free. We also translate ACRO Police Certificates for international use.

Certified Translations of Police Certificates
Foreign police certificates being submitted to UKVI must be accompanied by a professionally certified English translation. UKVI expects every page, stamp, and detail to be translated in full, along with a certification statement confirming that the translation is a true and accurate representation of the original. Clear formatting and careful handling of names, dates, and official terminology help minimise the risk of follow-up queries from caseworkers.
ACRO Police Certificates, by contrast, are required for applications made outside the UK, including visas, residency, and overseas employment. Many people confuse them with DBS checks, but they serve a different purpose: ACRO issues Police Certificates specifically for use abroad. When submitting an ACRO certificate overseas, translation requirements may differ from those in the UK, as some countries expect sworn, notarised, or even apostilled translations.
