The expression commonly refers to a certificate stating whether data exists about pending criminal proceedings and charges. District and regional prosecutor’s offices may also issue other certificates or certified copies, so the service is based on the actual title and contents rather than on a broad informal label.
What does the document actually certify?
Its printed title, scope and conclusion provide the answer. It may record a check for pending criminal proceedings and charges as of a particular date, while another prosecutorial document may have a different subject. The translation does not widen the statement or turn it into a general report about the person.
Is it the same as a criminal record certificate?
No. A criminal record certificate is issued through a separate procedure and contains different information. A prosecutor’s certificate is identified by its issuer, legal basis and subject. If the receiving authority has named a specific document, we check whether the supplied original meets that particular request.
Which details are checked before translation?
We verify the full name and personal data, certificate number and date, issuing office, signature, official capacity, seal and wording of the completed check. Where file numbers or periods appear, they are reproduced exactly. An illegible or missing part is clarified before the translated document is formatted.
How is the issuing prosecutor’s office identified?
The full official name printed on the source is retained, including the particular District Prosecutor’s Office or territorial division. It is not replaced by a generic national label when the document names a more precise unit. This helps the foreign recipient trace the document to its actual source.
Can an electronically issued certificate be translated?
Yes, provided the complete electronic document shows the issuer, signature and verification data. A verification code or electronic signature is not described as an ordinary ink seal. We first confirm whether the recipient accepts the electronic original or printout, or requires a paper original.
Are an Apostille or further certification always required?
No. The correct route depends on the type of prosecutorial document, destination country, applicable international arrangements and the receiving authority’s instructions. Translation, certified translation and authentication of the source are separate steps. After review, we identify which steps apply to the case.
What should I send for an accurate quotation?
Customers send a clear colour copy of every page, including the reverse, attachments, signatures, seals and electronic markings. Customers state the destination country, receiving institution and submission date, and whether the original is available. If a Latin-script spelling of the name is already established, customers include the document that shows it.
How are price, timing and delivery determined?
The quotation reflects the language pair, volume, legal terminology, legibility, required certifications, number of copies and delivery. After review, La Fit Trans confirms the exact scope, price and timing. The order can start online or at an office, with delivery arranged in the agreed form.
