Should I request No. 1 or No. 2?

It depends on the request you received. No. 2 discloses more, including expunged convictions, and is commonly specified for immigration purposes. Ask the receiving body if the wording is unclear before you apply, as only you can request No. 2.

How long is the certificate valid?

There is no expiry on the face of the document, but Australian bodies usually expect a recent certificate, often within 12 months. Check the wording of your request.

Do you translate the consular legalisation?

Yes. Vietnamese judicial records used abroad often carry Department of Foreign Affairs or embassy certification, and we translate those pages alongside the certificate.

My certificate has no criminal record entry. Do I need the whole thing translated?

Yes, if a certified translation was requested. The scope of the search, the issuing office and the result all need to be legible in English.

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

$59 per page with your complete order back within 24 hours.

Do you need the original?

No. A clear scan or photo of every page, including the red seal, is enough.

Vietnamese judicial record (lý lịch tư pháp)

Lý Lịch Tư Pháp (Judicial Record) Translation

How we translate a Vietnamese judicial record

Our NAATI-certified Vietnamese translators reproduce the Department of Justice form, translate the result wording precisely — including the standard 'không có án tích' (no criminal record) statement — and carry across the certificate number, issuing province, signatory and red seal. Diacritics are preserved throughout and the certificate's stated scope is translated so the receiving officer can see what was searched.
