Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of a criminal record certificate?
It is commonly requested for: working with minors (mandatory by law), obtaining visas or residency permits abroad, participating in adoption processes, accessing certain public and private jobs, and notarial or registration procedures.
How long is the criminal record certificate valid?
There is no legal expiration date, but most organizations and companies accept it if it has been issued within 3-6 months. For visas and international procedures, they usually require a certificate that is less than 3 months old.
What happens if I have cancelled convictions?
Criminal records are automatically canceled after the legal period (between 6 months and 30 years) has passed according to the offense. Once canceled, they do not appear in standard certificates. You can apply for early cancellation if you meet the requirements.
