WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Yemeni Police Record (الفيش الجنائي / شهادة حسن السيرة والسلوك (Criminal Status Sheet / Good Conduct Certificate))
Yemen's police clearance is the Criminal Status Sheet (الفيش الجنائي / شهادة حسن السيرة والسلوك), issued by the General Administration of Criminal Evidences within the Ministry of Interior, usually as a large sheet bearing the applicant's name, passport or ID data, and inked fingerprints. Two Yemen-specific facts shape how it is used: there is no centralized national criminal database, so the U.S. State Department deems these certificates unreliable and does not require them for immigrant-visa processing, and applicants outside the country typically cannot obtain a current one at all. When a Yemeni police record is submitted anyway — for an adjustment-of-status or naturalization file, or because an officer requested it — the certified translation must reproduce the issuing directorate, the reference and issue numbers, the coverage wording, and any fingerprint or 'no criminal record' annotations exactly as printed, flagging an illegible stamp as [illegible] rather than guessing. We render the document faithfully; judging its evidentiary weight is USCIS's role.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Yemeni Police Record Comes From
Yemeni police and criminal-record certificates are issued by the national or state police and justice authorities described above — not the civil registry. Yemen is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so its records cannot be apostilled; formal use abroad requires consular legalization — authentication by Yemen's Ministry of Foreign Affairs followed by legalization at the U.S. mission handling Yemeni affairs (the U.S. Embassy in Sana'a suspended operations in 2015).

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Yemeni Police Record Translated
For your Yemeni 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 Yemeni original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Yemeni Police Record Pitfalls
Yemeni 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 Yemeni Specialist
A native speaker of your document's language handles it — not a generalist or a machine.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Yemeni police record translation cost?
A standard Yemeni 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 Yemeni 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.
My name is spelled differently on my passport and my birth certificate. Which spelling wins?
Yemeni names run three or four parts and can be romanized several ways, so mismatches are common. We match the spelling on your translation to your passport or visa for a consistent identity and can add a note explaining the variant so a USCIS officer isn't left guessing.
