My certificate is already in German and English. Do I still need a translation?

Possibly not. oesterreich.gv.at states certificates without convictions are issued in German and English. Show your copy to the organisation receiving it and ask whether it accepts the bilingual certificate as issued.

What if convictions are recorded on my certificate?

Then check what your copy actually contains and in which languages. Recorded entries and accompanying wording may need an English translation even where headings appear in English.

Is a Leumundszeugnis the same thing?

Leumundszeugnis is an older, everyday term people still search for. The certificate issued today is the Strafregisterbescheinigung, and that is what this page covers.

How do I obtain the certificate?

The official Austrian procedure is published at oesterreich.gv.at: https://www.oesterreich.gv.at/de/themen/persoenliche_dokumente_und_bestaetigungen/strafregister/Seite.300020 . We supply translation, not issuance.

How recent does it need to be?

Ask the Australian organisation receiving your documents. Recency expectations quoted by Austrian employers do not apply to Australian applications.

How much does it cost and how long does it take?
