Background check
A background check, police certificate or criminal record certificate is a document showing whether an applicant has reportable criminal history for a required period or jurisdiction.
Why it matters
Many work, residence and digital nomad visa routes require police records, often with apostille/legalization and translation rules.
Caveats
- Validity windows are often short.
- Countries may require records from every place lived for a threshold period.
- Names and passport numbers should match application documents.
