Criminal Record Extract Translation
A criminal record extract in Arabic is most often translated for a job application, permanent or temporary residence, or a visa procedure — Slovak employers and the foreign police commonly require a certified translation of the original issued in the country of origin.
The validity of the original matters: in most countries a criminal record extract is only valid for a limited time, usually just a few months from issue. I recommend having a freshly issued document translated — an older extract may be rejected by the authority regardless of translation quality. If you're unsure about your extract's validity, I'm happy to discuss it before you order the translation.

Questions about this service
Validity varies by issuing country and by the institution accepting the document — usually a few months from issue. Before ordering the translation, I'd recommend checking the current requirement directly with the authority you're submitting to.
It depends on the specific institution's requirement — the foreign police, for instance, often requires extracts from every country of long-term residence, not just citizenship. Check the exact requirement in advance; I'm happy to translate extracts from several countries at once.
I need a legible photo or scan of the entire official document, including the stamp or verification QR code if it was issued electronically. If you're not sure whether your copy is sufficient, send it over and I'll confirm before starting the translation.
