Worldwide Turnkey Service
Complete turnkey service for Slovak citizens and foreign nationals residing abroad: we procure your official Slovak criminal record extract via power of attorney without requiring your personal visit to Slovakia. Subsequently, we provide an international [Apostille](https://www.legalizacnecentrum.sk/en/) certificate (under the Hague Convention) or multi-stage [Consular Legalization](https://www.legalizacnecentrum.sk/en/superlegalisation/) (for non-Hague countries), [certified translation](https://vzory.legalizacnecentrum.sk/en/certified-translations), and dispatch the verified document to you via DHL courier anywhere in the world.
Upon submitting an inquiry, we will promptly email you the power of attorney template. You certify your signature with a local notary abroad and send us a high-quality scan of the verified power of attorney together with your passport scan.
For Hague Convention states, we arrange the Apostille on the original extract and, if required, an Apostille on the certified translation itself. For states outside the Hague Convention (e.g. UAE, Qatar), we handle the complete chain of consular legalization through the relevant ministries and embassies, pricing it individually according to the destination country.
Client query and legal basis
How to obtain a Slovak Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) with an Apostille or Consular Legalization from abroad without travelling to Slovakia?
Foreign immigration authorities, employers, embassies, and licensing boards (for work visas, permanent residency, citizenship, or professional licenses) strictly require an official Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) from every country where an applicant has resided. Without proper international legal verification (Hague Apostille certificate or Consular Legalization) and an authorized certified court translation, foreign authorities will reject a Slovak criminal record document.
Step-by-step procedure: How to resolve the matter safely
1. Tailored power of attorney preparation & document procurement (120 €) (Legalization Center Bratislava (under power of attorney))
We do not offer the power of attorney for free download, as formalities vary by your country of residence. Upon contact, we will send you an exact tailored draft. You certify your signature with your local notary abroad and send us a high-quality scan of the verified power of attorney and passport. Under this power of attorney, we procure the criminal record extract from the GP SR within 5 business days (flat fee of 120 € for Slovak citizens and foreign nationals alike).
2. Certified translation of foreign notary authentication clause (35 €) (Certified Court Translator registered with MS SR)
To ensure the foreign notarial authentication of the power of attorney can be officially used before Slovak authorities and the General Prosecutor’s Office, an authorized court translator prepares a certified court translation of the foreign verification clause and notary stamp into Slovak (35 €).
3. Hague Apostille certificate on original extract (135 €) (Legalization Center Bratislava)
We secure the international [Apostille](https://www.legalizacnecentrum.sk/en/) certificate under the Hague Convention directly on the original Slovak criminal record extract for 135 €. For more detailed information, visit our dedicated page on [apostille for criminal record extracts](https://www.legalizacnecentrum.sk/apostila-vypisu-z-registra-trestov/).
4. Certified translation: from 35 EUR / standard page (by language, 3 pages total) (Certified Court Translator registered with MS SR)
We provide official certified court translation: the rate starts from 35 EUR / standard page depending on the language, with the complete document consisting of 3 pages total (criminal record extract, international Apostille certificate, and translator clause – from 105 EUR total for common languages like English, German, Spanish). The translation is firmly bound with a tricolor ribbon and round state seal. You can check our complete [translation price list](/en/certified-translations) (or [certified translation](https://www.legalizacnecentrum.sk/uradny-preklad/)) to confirm the exact rate for your requested language.
5. Secondary Apostille on sworn translation if required (60 €) (Legalization Center Bratislava)
If the destination country requires higher authentication on the translator clause itself (authenticating the signature and round state seal of the court translator), we arrange a secondary international Apostille directly on the translation (60 €).
6. Express DHL courier shipping worldwide (custom quote) (DHL Express Courier / Postal Service)
We dispatch the complete bound and legalized document via international DHL Express courier anywhere in the world directly to your foreign address with tracking. Shipping costs are quoted based on destination country and city. Notice regarding Consular Legalization: for non-Hague countries, the procedure is different (requiring chained ministerial and consular attestation) and total cost is determined based on the destination country – learn more in our [Consular Legalization](https://www.legalizacnecentrum.sk/en/superlegalisation/) section.
