 Today, the writer specifically summarized some real stuff for above issues to help HR remove this knowledge blind zone in practice and help enterprises hire foreign talents quickly and effectively.

一、什么是无犯罪认证？

What is certification of no criminal record?

外籍人才无犯罪认证是在中国企业帮旗下外籍员工办理工签时，重要的申请条件之一，要求其本国有关政府部门提供，以此证明该名外籍人才在母国无犯罪事实成立的官方证明材料。

 Certification of no criminal record of foreign talents is one of the important application materials for Chinese enterprises to apply work permits for their foreign employees. It is required to be offered by relevant government departments in local country so as to prove the authenticity of certification of no criminal record.

二、无犯罪认证流程

Process of certification of no criminal record

无犯罪记录申请及认证的流程可以总结为三大部分：原件、公证和认证。由于每个国家设立的机构部门职责不同，办理时间和和地点名称也会有一些差别，外国人或聘用单位应提前了解清楚，再开始做。

 The process of applying for certification of no criminal record can be divided into three parts: original, notarized and certified. Due to the different responsibilities of institutional departments established in each country, there will be some differences in the time of process and names of location. Foreigners or employers are supposed to understand the differences before doing it.

无犯罪记录证明原件：通常应当由外国申请人国籍所在地或经常居住地的警察或者背景调查机构出具，譬如美国人是可以在网上申请FBI背景调查的（Background clearance）。

 Original certification of no criminal record is usually issued by police or background clearance agency of foreign applicant's nationality or place of frequent residence, for example, Americans can apply for the FBI background clearance online.

公证和认证：由所在国当地公证员（Notary Public）或授权部门公证, 再移交所在国外交部认证，最后将公证件以及外交部给予的认证件拿到中国领事馆进行认证。

 Notarization and certification: no criminal record is notarized by local notary public or authorized department, then transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the host country for certification, and finally the notarized documents and the certifications given by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be certified by Chinese Consulate.

热 门 话 题

Hot topic

一、是否可以只办理中国驻外使领馆的领事认证，而不办理驻在国外交部或认证机构的认证？

 Is it possible to apply for consular certification only by Chinese embassies and consulates abroad, but not by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or certification agency？

首先，中国驻外使领馆通常只能确认驻在国外交部或认证机构的印章和签署。

Firstly, Chinese embassies and consulates abroad can only confirm the seal and signature of Ministry of Foreign Affairs or certification agency.

其次，中国驻外使领馆一般没有驻在国公证或商业文书出证机构的印章和签字备案，无法核实文书真伪。因此，有关文书应当先在驻在国外交部或认证机构进行认证，再到中国驻外使领馆办理领事认证。

 Secondly, Chinese embassies and consulates abroad generally do not have the seals and signatures of the notary public or commercial document issuing agencies, and cannot verify the authenticity of the documents. Therefore, the relevant documents should be certified first in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the certification agency before to the Chinese embassies and consulates abroad.

二、无犯罪证明的有效期有多长？怎么计算呢？

 How long is the validity of a certification of no criminal record? How to calculate it?

无犯罪记录证明有6个月有效期，是从开出来的那一天来计算，而不是认证的日期哦。

 A certification of no criminal record has a six-month validity period, which is calculated from the date of issue, not the date of certification.

比如候选人的无犯罪记录证明是2月1日开出来的，完成认证是3月1日。那么这份文件的有效期是8月1日到期，而不是9月1日。

 For example, if the certification of no criminal record is issued on February 1st, and the completion of certification is March 1st, thus the document is valid until August 1st, not September 1st.

三、无犯罪认证的周期有多长？

 How long is the process of certification of no criminal record?

从外国人准备无犯罪原件到中国驻所在国大使馆的认证件为准，一般需要1-1.5个月，甚至会更长，因为有些人认证中有其他事情，便不会不间断地走完整个流程，中间难免会有停歇。

 It usually takes 1-1.5 months or even longer from the preparation of original no criminal record to the certification of Chinese embassy, because some people have other things in the certification and will not finish without interruption. There may be an interruption in the process of certification.

对于不在自己国家的候选人来说，更是一件耽误时间的事情，首先自己回国会消耗大量的时间与精力在来回的路途上，舟车劳顿不说，不熟悉办理步骤和具体办事地点，经济损失、效率大大降低，企业与候选人都将被成倍地掏空耐心，无法有效沟通。

 For candidates who are not in their own country, it is a time-consuming thing. It is exhausted to take plenty of time and energy in the way. What’s more, it will causes financial loses, reduce efficiency greatly and enterprises and employees will not have effective communication because they are unfamiliar with the steps and specific locations.
