A criminal record certificate is an official document that certifies whether a person has a criminal record.
A clean criminal record can be helpful in demonstrating your trustworthiness and speaks volumes about your past, which can be useful in obtaining insurance, licenses, and other citizenship benefits.
Due to its relevance, the criminal record certificate may be required for the completion of various types of procedures, including employment background checks, immigration procedures, international travel procedures, etc.
What is the validity of a criminal record certificate?
The Ministry of Justice increased the validity of criminal records from six months to one year at the end of last year.
With this measure, the Ministry of Justice aims to avoid the burden of paperwork for citizens and to avoid overloading the offices of the Central Register of Sanctioned Persons of the Ministry of Justice throughout the year.
