Mexican criminal record (antecedentes penales)
Mexico Constancia de Antecedentes Penales Federales Translation into English
The constancia de antecedentes penales federales is Mexico's federal criminal-record document, issued through Prevención y Reinserción Social. Many people search for it as the carta or constancia de no antecedentes penales — those names are commonly used, but they often refer to records issued at state level, which are separate documents. We translate whichever record you hold into English through a NAATI-certified Spanish translator at $59 per selected page, with your complete order returned within 24 hours.
Federal and state records are issued separately
Mexico has no single criminal-record certificate. Check the heading and the issuing body on your own document before ordering.

NAATI Certification
How we translate Mexican criminal-record documents
These documents normally show the holder's full name, CURP where recorded, the stated purpose of issue, the result recorded by the issuing authority, the issuing office, the date, and a folio or QR verification panel where issued electronically. Our NAATI-certified Spanish translators reproduce the heading and issuing body exactly as printed — federal or state — so the recipient can see which record they have, along with the purpose wording, folio and verification panel. Current requirements are published by the Mexican government through gob.mx, and state records are requested from the relevant state authority. We translate the record you supply; we do not issue, obtain, verify, correct or apostille Mexican records, and we cannot advise on your application. Which record is required — federal, state or both — is decided by the Australian authority receiving it, so confirm that with them before you order; a certified translation does not by itself guarantee acceptance.
