International Document Solutions
Do you need to submit a Police Clearance Certificate, Criminal Record Certificate, Good Conduct Certificate or similar document in Lithuania?
AIRV Translation Bureau
AIRV helps international students, residence permit applicants, employees, employers and other foreign nationals prepare certified Lithuanian translations for MIGRIS, universities and other Lithuanian institutions. We translate documents from more than 100 languages, including Arabic, Korean, Hindi, Vietnamese, Kazakh, Turkish, Chinese, Japanese and many others.
Send the complete document. Include the original-language certificate, both sides, every stamp and signature, the apostille or legalisation endorsements and any existing translations. We will confirm the translation scope, certification, price, timeline and whether the physical original is required.
What Is a Police Clearance Certificate?
A Police Clearance Certificate, criminal record certificate or good conduct certificate is an official document confirming whether a person has a criminal record. Terminology differs by country, but the document is commonly requested for:
-
MIGRIS and residence permit applications
-
admission to a Lithuanian university
-
employment and work-based residence procedures
-
family reunification and other migration processes
-
regulated professions and other official purposes.
Can I start the process from abroad?
Yes. Email clear scans for review and quotation. If the original is needed, it may be shipped directly to our Vilnius or Kaunas office. Include your full name, email address, phone number and the institution where the document will be used.
AIRV translations for MIGRIS
AIRV translations are prepared in the form required for MIGRIS and are accepted in migration procedures. We know how to translate and certify Police Clearance Certificates correctly.
If MIGRIS requests additional information or a correction, the issue is normally connected with the underlying document package—for example, the wrong certificate was submitted, a page, stamp, apostille, legalisation endorsement or other supporting document is missing, or the source document itself does not meet the applicable requirement. The final assessment of the full application belongs to the Migration Department.
Do you need the original document?
Clear scans are usually sufficient for review, quotation and translation. The physical original may be required when notarisation is requested, when the certified translation must be attached to the original or when the receiving institution needs to inspect the original document.
Apostille or legalisation
The required route depends on the country that issued the certificate, the document type and any applicable international or European Union exemption.
If the issuing country uses the Apostille Convention
The certificate will usually need to be apostilled by the competent authority in the issuing country before use in Lithuania. Once the apostille has been added, AIRV translates the certificate, the apostille and all relevant stamps and endorsements.
Check the current Convention status and competent authorities on the official HCCH website: https://www.hcch.net/en/instruments/conventions/status-table/?cid=41
If the issuing country does not use the Apostille Convention
The document may require legalisation. This commonly involves authentication in the issuing country followed by secondary legalisation by the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs or a Lithuanian consular institution, unless another rule or exemption applies.
Requirements change and the receiving authority makes the final decision. Send AIRV the complete document and any instructions you have received so we can explain the likely document route.
Which language should the translation be prepared from?
Lithuanian institutions commonly require the translation to be prepared from the original language of the certificate. Before ordering, confirm the language requirement with the receiving institution and send AIRV the original-language document together with any existing translations. We will confirm the appropriate translation option for the specific procedure.
Secondary legalisation at the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
AIRV cannot submit a foreign-issued Police Clearance Certificate for secondary legalisation at the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs when the current procedure requires the document owner, the employer or the receiving university to do so. AIRV can prepare the Lithuanian translation and the document package required before that step.

How the cost of translation is calculated?
The pricing model is based on the number of symbols. One standard translation page consists of 1,500 symbols excluding spaces. Different rates apply to different language combinations and for this reason, call or email to the translation agency and ask for more specific price. You should specify a) a language combination; b) a required translation service.
Is it possible to order translation services remotely?
Yes. If you need a notarized document, you can deliver your documents or texts by email and the translation agency shall take care of everything–they shall provide you with an electronic version of the translation validated by the agency.
Are urgent translation tasks charged extra?
No. We take every step to complete the translation as soon as possible and deliver it to a customer and therefore, we do not apply additional charges.
Are interpreting (consecutive and simultaneous) services offered?
Yes. Highly professional interpreters provide this service. Interpreters are selected subject to the field of specialisation, e.g. interpreting during events, conferences, commercial negotiations etc.
Is it possible to complete paperwork in Lithuania, if a customer is abroad?
Definitely yes. The translation agency helps the customers abroad very often: they can rely on us when they need translation, notarisation or legalisation services. You can email us the documents you need to be translated, or, alternatively, you can choose courier or prepaid post services. The documents will be prepared in line with your requirements.
Is it possible to order translation of sound and video records?
Yes. We offer the translation of more than 30 sound recording formats, including AIFF, M4A, MP3, MP4, WAV and WMA. We can also work with YouTube and other resources.
What translation fields we handle?
We have professional translators working in such fields as medicine, finance, engineering, law, advertising as well as creative translations.
Are online translations time-saving?
As usual, our response time is very short. Whether you decide to order translations online or to visit our physical offices, we shall do everything for you as soon as possible.
What makes the translation cost-effective?
We use the latest translation technologies and software. They can recognise repetition and thus save your money. This is not an automated translation but rather translation tools that allow to maintain the original formatting of the translated text. If any text was translated before, the tool will offer the repeated segments of the text automatically. In this way, the translation process is shorter, cheaper and of better quality.
Where exactly the translation office in Vilnius is?
Our translation office in Vilnius is at Raugyklos g. 4A, LT-01139. The easiest way to find it is by walking or driving along Raugyklos Street from the Margutis sculpture towards V. Šopeno Street. You can park your car on the street in front of the office (there is a yellow zone nearby). You will easily spot the office signboard. You are welcome to drop by.
Digital certification of translations – is it a free service?
With the rapid changes in living conditions during the global COVID-19 pandemic, the popularity of eco friendly translation, a service that has been on the market for a number of years, has grown significantly. This means that we will digitally certify the translations of the documents for which you do not need a hard copy, free of charge, using our office stamps, making the process completely paperless. Let's protect our planet and print responsibly.
