WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Burmese Police Record (Police Clearance Certificate (PCC))
A Myanmar police clearance certificate is issued by the applicant's local Township Police Station or, for many overseas-bound applicants, through the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Yangon, after the ward or village-tract administrator attests residence and a full fingerprint form is taken. It is available only to those who have resided in Myanmar (generally six months or more); the U.S. reciprocity schedule notes that certified copies are not issued, so the applicant holds a single original. The certificate is short — the person's mononym name, father's name, NRC or passport number, and a statement that no criminal record is found — bearing the CID or township police seal, and written in Burmese (sometimes with an English CID cover for foreigners). For USCIS (adjustment of status or N-400 naturalization), the certified translation must render the "no criminal record / good conduct" wording precisely, transliterate the issuing station and seal, and reproduce the name and ID number exactly so the clearance ties unambiguously to the applicant's biometrics.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Burmese Police Record Comes From
Burmese police and criminal-record certificates are issued by the national or state police and justice authorities described above — not the civil registry. Myanmar is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so its documents cannot be apostilled; where authentication is required for foreign use, records go through Myanmar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then consular legalization at the relevant embassy.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Burmese Police Record Translated
For your Burmese police record, USCIS requires a complete English translation of everything on the page — the issuing office’s details, seals, and any marginal notes included — plus a signed certification of accuracy under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Machine translation cannot sign that certification. We reproduce the document's exact layout so an officer can compare it line by line against your Burmese original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Burmese Police Record Pitfalls
Burmese police and criminal-record certificates must show exact coverage dates and the issuing authority, and because they often expire quickly, the translation should be scheduled close to your filing date.
Native Burmese Specialist
A native speaker of your document's language handles it — not a generalist or a machine.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Burmese police record translation cost?
A standard Burmese police record is typically $15-25 total, certified and formatted, delivered in 24-48 hours. Pricing is $0.05 per word; longer or multi-page documents are quoted exactly before you pay.
Is your Burmese police record translation accepted by USCIS?
Yes. Every translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy meeting 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). If USCIS rejects it citing the translation, we correct it free and reimburse your resubmission fee.
Do my Myanmar documents need an apostille or embassy legalization for USCIS?
No. Myanmar is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so its documents cannot be apostilled — but USCIS does not require one anyway. For immigration filings USCIS asks only for a complete, certified English translation of each foreign document, which is exactly what we provide.
