Chilean Police Certificate Translation
Chilean Police Certificate Translation Australia
If you are applying for an Australian visa, citizenship, or another official submission, your Chile police certificate (Certificado de Antecedentes para Fines Especiales) must be accompanied by a NAATI-certified English translation. Trans Lingo provides NAATI-certified translations accepted by the Department of Home Affairs and all Australian authorities, delivered as a certified PDF within 24 hours.
What is a Certificado de Antecedentes para Fines Especiales?
The Chilean police certificate is the Certificado de Antecedentes para Fines Especiales, issued by the Registro Civil e Identificación. The Fines Especiales version is the official certificate used for international purposes such as visa applications and is distinct from the internal version used within Chile. It states whether the holder has any criminal record and carries the seal of the Registro Civil.
Issuing authority: Registro Civil e Identificación de Chile.
