If your police certificate or criminal record check is in Japanese, we prepare the certified English translation IRCC needs for PR and citizenship files — with every stamp and seal translated.
IRCC requires a certified English translation of any non-English police certificate or criminal record check. We translate Japanese police certificates issued in Japan and certify them with a signed translator declaration accepted by IRCC.
We translate Japanese-language police certificates and criminal record checks issued in Japan. Japanese police certificates use kanji and kana, so the entire document must be fully rendered into English. Every certified translation is a full, word-for-word rendering into English — full name, date of birth, the issuing authority and the clearance statement, including every stamp and seal — signed with a translator's declaration that IRCC accepts.
