Request and legislation of Criminal Records in Ireland for the use abroad
If you want to live abroad and want to apply for a visa and / or work abroad, it is very likely that in order to be granted a visa or to be able to start a new job they will ask you for your Criminal Records.
Requesting Criminal Records in Ireland for the use abroad
This means that you have to request the Criminal Records at your local Garda station.
This record can also be requested by another person on your behalf. We at certifiedtranslations.ie have offices in Dublin and Cork and we are more than happy to request this document on your behalf. This might be especially handy if your Garda station is very busy or if you live outside the city and would have to travel a long way just to request and collect it.
Legalisation of Criminal Records in Cork and Dublin
When you have received your Criminal Record from your local Garda station, you will need to have them legalised in order for them to be recognized abroad. For many countries, you can legalise your document through an apostille. An Apostille is a way of recognising a document for foreign authorities. It follows The Apostille Convention. It is a certificate which is issued, in the case of Ireland, by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
We at certifiedtranslations.ie can help you with this as well. We can request the Criminal Record on your behalf and legalise it either through an apostille or through a different authentication process. Due to years of experience in dealing with different kind of documents which needed to be legalised for different countries and purposes, we know exactly how to legalise your document correctly, so that it will be recognised in China.
