Peruvian Police Certificate Translation
Peruvian Police Certificate Translation Australia
If you are applying for an Australian visa, citizenship, or another official submission, your Peru police certificate (Certificado de Antecedentes Policiales) 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 Policiales?
A Peruvian police certificate is the Certificado de Antecedentes Policiales, issued by the Policía Nacional del Perú (PNP). It confirms whether the holder has any criminal record on file with the national police and is the standard character document used for international visa and migration purposes. The certificate is signed and stamped by the issuing PNP office.
Issuing authority: Policía Nacional del Perú (PNP).
Why your police certificate needs NAATI certification for Australia
The Department of Home Affairs and other Australian authorities only accept translations produced by a NAATI-certified translator. A standard translation, a notarised translation from Peru, or a translation produced by an uncertified bilingual speaker will be rejected, even if accurate. Every Trans Lingo translation is completed by a NAATI-certified translator and includes the certification statement, translator stamp, and NAATI number required for Australian official use. If you are lodging against a short deadline, our express Spanish translation service delivers the same certified document in under 24 hours at the same $59 per page.
