We will arrange the Apostille or Superlegalisation / Embassy Attestation of your Czech criminal record extract – including notary services and certified translations. From document issuance to final authentication by authorities and embassies, we handle the entire process for you.
The criminal record extract must be issued either by a court register office or a notary (please inform the notary that the document will be used abroad).
A criminal record extract issued by Czech Post (Czech Point) cannot be apostilled or superlegalised and is valid only within the Czech Republic.
If you request your criminal record extract from a municipal office, please make sure that the official who signs it has a registered signature specimen with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs – otherwise, the Apostille cannot be issued.
In most cases, a certified (sworn) translation of the document into the language of the destination country will be required. For Superlegalisation / Embassy Attestation, documents must be translated into English or the official language of the destination country. Some countries also require Superlegalisation / Embassy Attestation of the translation itself. We can arrange this certified translation for you as well.
An Apostille can be issued on both the original document and a notarised copy:
An Apostille can be issued without translation into the destination language.
Superlegalisation / Embassy Attestation can be issued only on the original document.
The document must be translated into English or the official language of the destination country. Some countries require Superlegalisation / Embassy Attestation of the certified translation as well.
