Criminal Record Certificate Translation in Israel

Police clearance certificates are mandatory for aliyah, employment, and visa applications in Israel. These documents expire quickly — often within 3–6 months — so timely, accurate translation is critical. iTrex translates criminal record certificates from any country, with notarization accepted by Misrad HaPnim, the Jewish Agency, and Israeli employers.

Why iTrex for Criminal Record Translation?

Criminal record certificates (also known as police clearance, certificate of good conduct, or "справка о несудимости") are among the most time-sensitive documents in the aliyah process. They expire in 3–6 months, and a single translation error can mean weeks of delay. iTrex handles criminal record certificates from over 50 countries — we know the exact terminology used by each issuing authority, from the Russian MVD to the French casier judiciaire to the US FBI clearance letter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a criminal record certificate required for aliyah?

Yes. A criminal record certificate (police clearance) is mandatory for all aliyah applicants aged 14 and older. The certificate must be from every country where you have lived for more than one year after the age of 14. It must be translated into Hebrew and notarized for the Jewish Agency and Misrad HaPnim.

How long is a criminal record certificate valid?

Validity varies by country and receiving institution, but most Israeli authorities accept certificates issued within the last 3–6 months. Because of this short validity window, we strongly recommend express or urgent translation to avoid your certificate expiring before submission.

How do I obtain a criminal record certificate in my country?

The process differs by country:

Russia: Apply through the MVD (МВД) or Gosuslugi portal
Ukraine: Apply through the National Police or Diya app
USA: Request an FBI Identity History Summary via the FBI website
France: Request a casier judiciaire (bulletin no. 3) online
Germany: Apply for a Führungszeugnis at your local Bürgeramt

We can advise you on the specific process for your country.

Does the criminal record certificate need an apostille?

In most cases, yes. If your country is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, an apostille is required. Non-member countries require consular legalization. The apostille must be on the original certificate before translation. We can advise you on the requirements and help with the complete document chain.

How much does criminal record certificate translation cost?

Standard translation with notarization typically costs 200–300 NIS per document. Express (same-day) and urgent (4–6 hours) options are available for an additional fee. Apostille services are quoted separately. Send us your certificate for a free, no-obligation quote — we respond within 1–2 hours.
