Police Clearance Certificate Translation Sri Lanka — Chinese & English

What "sworn" means: the translation is certified with the official stamp, signature and Ministry of Justice registration number (2020/CE/CL/042) of a sworn translator — the form of certified translation used for courts, government departments, embassy submissions and MFA attestation in Sri Lanka.

When you need this

Sri Lanka Police clearance → Chinese or English: Chinese Z (work) visa and residence permit applications, teaching and professional employment in China, and long-stay applications where a clean-record certificate is mandatory.
Chinese 无犯罪记录证明 → English: Sri Lankan residence visas for Chinese nationals, employment with Sri Lankan companies and projects, and immigration processes in Colombo requiring evidence of good character.

Police clearance certificates are deadline-driven documents — they are usually only valid for a limited period from the date of issue, and visa appointments don't wait. Turnaround is treated accordingly: single-page clearances are among the fastest documents to certify.

Frequently asked

My visa appointment is this week. How fast can this be done?

Single-page police clearance certificates can normally be certified within 1–2 working days, and urgent service is often possible same-day or next-day. Send the document with your deadline and you'll get an honest answer immediately — no commitments that can't be kept.

Does the translation need attestation too?

For some Chinese procedures the Sri Lankan original must also be attested (Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and consular legalization where required) in addition to the certified translation. Requirements differ by visa type and province — tell me the destination and I'll set out the correct sequence.

Is a scanned copy acceptable to work from?

Yes — a clear scan or photo is sufficient. The certified translation is issued with a copy of the document you provide attached.
