Swedish criminal record extract
An employer or a migration office abroad asked for your Swedish criminal record. Polismyndigheten prints the extract. We add an authorised translation and place the apostille on the original, in one case.
The extract
Most offices want the extract you order for your own use, utdrag ur belastningsregistret. The narrower slip for work with children rarely stands in when they asked for the whole register. A screenshot is not a paper anyone can stamp.
Translation
A translator authorised by Kammarkollegiet puts the extract into the language that office uses. A standard document starts at 1 495 kr. The language follows the country, not a guess.
Apostille
A notary public places the apostille on the extract from Polismyndigheten. The stamp says the document is genuine. It does not translate a single line. That is why the two jobs belong in the same case. Apostille starts at 1 595 kr.
Some offices want the translation alone. Some want only the stamp. When they want both, the package is the short way through.

Translation and apostille, together Best value
We take the original once. The translation and the apostille run side by side, and the papers come back ready to file.

A belastningsregister is the Swedish criminal record extract, printed by Polismyndigheten. Abroad it is often called a police clearance certificate. The usual version, ordered for your own use, shows what the register holds. If it holds nothing, the paper says so. That empty extract is still a real document, and it can carry an apostille.
The extract for work with children is a different paper. Swedish schools and childcare use it, and it only lists certain offences. A foreign employer who asked for the full register will rarely take that slip instead. If they named work with children, we say so before you order the wrong one.
It is not a personbevis. A personbevis comes from Skatteverket and shows the population register. This page is the police extract.
Order the paper original. An apostille is placed on a document Polismyndigheten has already signed, not on a PDF you printed at home.
From Polismyndigheten, in the version the recipient named. If their letter is vague, send it to us before you pay for the wrong paper.
We name the language, and we say whether that country takes an apostille or wants the embassy route.
The apostille lands on the Swedish extract. The translation is done by a translator authorised by Kammarkollegiet. Both come back to you.
A private power of attorney usually has to be signed in front of a notary before it can carry an apostille. An extract from Polismyndigheten is already an official document, so the apostille goes straight onto it. If a country still wants a separate certification, we say so before anything starts.
The country decides between an apostille and a route through the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs and that country’s embassy. Pick the recipient and you land on the right package.

Not if they want an apostille. The stamp is placed on the original extract from Polismyndigheten. A printout of a screen is a copy, and most offices will not take that copy in place of the original.
The recipient sets the date. Many employers and authorities want an extract no more than a couple of months old, often about three. Do not order it months ahead. We will not invent a deadline for a country you have not named. Send their requirement and we will say whether the date still holds.
No. That slip is for someone who will work with children in Sweden, and it only lists certain offences. When an office abroad asks for a belastningsregister, they usually want the extract for your own use. Send their wording if you are unsure.
Usually no. Polismyndigheten issued the extract, so a notary public can apostille it directly. A private power of attorney is a different document and is notarised first.
Yes. English is the usual language for the USA, the United Kingdom, and offices that ask for English. The translator is authorised by Kammarkollegiet. The country you pick below names the language for that case.
Authorised translation starts at 1 495 kr. Apostille starts at 1 595 kr. The package with both starts at 2 395 kr. Countries without apostille, such as Thailand, China and the United Arab Emirates, go through the embassy. That package starts at 3 495 kr.
Yes. The apostille stays on the extract, and the extract comes back with the translation.
Send the letter from the employer, the university or the authority. We will say which version from Polismyndigheten to order, and whether that country wants an apostille or the embassy, before you buy the wrong paper.
