Belarusian criminal record certificate — arranged from Poland

If a Polish institution, employer or foreign consulate requests a Belarusian certificate and you cannot return to Belarus, we arrange collection through a representative. We handle preparation of the application, collection of the paper original and delivery.

You need a passport copy and a notarised power of attorney with suitable authority. Before starting, we check whether it covers obtaining the certificate and any additional actions. If needed, we arrange an apostille in Belarus.

You can also order a sworn Polish translation of Belarusian documents. We prepare the certificate and any required apostille as one set.

Ask the recipient to specify the issuing country and purpose of the check. Living in Poland does not mean KRK is always sufficient. Depending on the procedure, several documents may be requested.

For information from Poland’s register, use our separate KRK certificate service.

The treaty is confirmed by the Polish Ministry of Justice. Exemption from legalisation does not remove requirements for the certificate’s content or translation.

If your procedure requires an apostille, we arrange an apostille for Belarusian documents in Belarus. We check the competent authority and representative’s powers before handing over the original; the procedure is described by the Polish consular service.

For another country’s consulate, the destination country’s requirements apply. We obtain the certificate and apostille first, then send the complete set for translation.

Translate Service provides sworn translation of documents from Belarus into Polish. We identify the language and length from the certificate, then quote the price.

We match your name to your passport and documents used in Poland. Tell us about surname changes or differences between Cyrillic and Latin spellings in advance.

Safeguarding rules known as Lex Kamilek also consider countries of residence during the last 20 years. Checks depend on the activity and personal circumstances. See the Polish Ministry of Justice guidance.

Before ordering, ask the employer to list the documents and translation requirements. If an authority requests the certificate in a residence or citizenship case, send that request: these procedures differ from checks for work with children.

For example, UK visa procedures requiring an overseas criminal record certificate generally require the document from the most recent country of residence to be issued within 6 months before application. Other former countries of stay have a separate rule linked to the end of the last stay. See the Home Office guidance.

This example does not set a period for a Polish employer or voivodeship office. Check the required document age and relevant date before ordering; we account for this when planning collection, apostille and delivery.
