Translation of Good Conduct Certificate in Israel

A police clearance \ good conduct certificate is an official document detailing the criminal record history of the certificate holder. This certificate, also known as a “Certificate of No Criminal Record,” actually centralizes all arrests, convictions, or charges filed against the applicant, if any exist. The translation of a good conduct clearance certificate is required for immigration and Aliyah to Israel.

Our law firm provides certified translation services for documents and police clearance certificates in various languages. This notarial certification attests that the translation is identical to the content of the original criminal record certificate.

The criminal conduct printout includes open or closed criminal cases, investigations, criminal convictions, penalties determined by the court against the certificate holder, and more.

It is important to note that, although many entities require a “clean” police certificate (i.e., “no criminal record”), not every arrest or even conviction necessarily leads to the loss of eligibility to work or emigrate abroad. For example, individuals with a criminal record may still be eligible to make Aliyah to Israel under certain circumstances, according to the Law of Return.

If the certificate holder has no criminal record, the Israeli certificate will state, “No records found.”

Obtaining an Israeli Criminal Record – What Needs to Be Done?

An individual can obtain a criminal record printout in Hebrew for themselves at any police station in Israel. Additionally, it is possible to pay for the direct mailing of a police clearance certificate to foreign authorities on the Israeli government website. Another way to obtain a clearance certificate is by submitting a request at an Israeli embassy in a foreign country.

If the police clearance certificate includes old criminal records, it is possible to submit a request to the Pardons Department of the Israeli Ministry of Justice to shorten the record’s statute of limitations and remove the offenses from the certificate.
