When receiving a police clearance certificate, you need to remember several important points:
A person is considered not convicted at the time of receipt of the certificate, if a criminal case has not been opened against him, there is no outstanding conviction. If there was a conviction, but it has been canceled, the person has served time – then in this case the person is considered not convicted and has every reason to receive such a document.
The procedure for issuing a police clearance certificate in different countries is different, as well as the timing of its receipt. Sometimes the request for the relevant certificates of no criminal record is delayed for many months. But, in some countries, for example, such as the Republic of Moldova, you can get a police clearance certificate quickly – in 1-2 days.

What to look for when ordering a certificate of no criminal record from Moldova in agencies and translation bureaus located not in Moldova, but abroad:
Please note that these agencies are intermediaries and do not have sufficient information and competent staff to resolve issues in Moldova
One such example is the well-known Gulfstream Translation Agency. They assure, we quote, that “Police clearance certificate from Moldova: we know all the subtleties.” However, they immediately write that the validity of the police clearance certificate is “from 3 to 6 months.” This information is misleading and misleading to customers. Moreover, they argue that a police clearance certificate can be obtained from the Prosecutor General’s Office. But this is not the case! In addition, they ask for registration data 🙂 In Moldova, they have not requested such data for a police clearance certificate for a long time. Another incorrect information: “The certificate itself does not indicate its validity period.” Indicated! 3 months!
