Whether you are a Polish citizen moving abroad, a Ukrainian or Russian national who previously resided in Poland, or an international student/worker, the Certificate of No Criminal Record is your “passport” to trust.
In Poland, this official document is known as:
- Polish: Zaświadczenie o niekaralności (Krajowy Rejestr Karny – KRK)
- Ukrainian: Довідка про відсутність судимості в Польщі
- Russian: Справка об отсутствии судимости в Польше
At Lex Corporation, we specialize in bridge-building for those applying for Citizenship, Permanent Residency (PR), Employment, or Education in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, and beyond.
🌎 Why is the Zaświadczenie o niekaralności Essential?
If you have spent more than 6 months in Poland, immigration authorities and high-level employers worldwide will require this verification.
1. For Citizenship & Permanent Residency (PR)
Authorities in Canada (IRCC), the USA (USCIS), the UK, and Australia demand a Polish PCC to prove “Good Character.” For Ukrainian and Russian citizens who lived in Poland before moving further West, this document is a mandatory part of the background check.
2. Specialized Employment
If you are entering sectors like IT, Banking, Healthcare, or Education, employers require a “Clean Criminal Record.” This is standard for:
- Finance & Fintech: Anti-money laundering (AML) compliance.
- Healthcare & Childcare: Safety verifications.
- Aviation & Security: High-trust clearances.
3. International Education
Universities and NGOs often require a Police Clearance Certificate for admissions or volunteer placements, ensuring a safe environment for all.
How Lex Corporation Simplifies the Process
Applying for the KRK from abroad can be a bureaucratic hurdle, especially regarding the physical “wet ink” signature and the Apostille.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: I am a Ukrainian/Russian citizen currently in Canada. Can you help me? A: Yes. We frequently assist Eastern European expats who lived in Poland. We obtain your Polish Довідка про відсутність судимості and send it directly to your new home.
Q: Do I need the original paper document or a digital file? A: For most Citizenship and PR applications (like those in the USA or UK), a physical paper certificate with an official stamp and Apostille is required. Digital XML files are often rejected by foreign embassies.
Q: How long does the process take? A: Typically, we obtain the certificate and Apostille within 5–10 business days, followed by international courier delivery.
Q: Can I get a PCC if I don’t have a Polish PESEL number? A: Absolutely. While the online system requires a PESEL, our legal team can apply manually using your Passport details, making us the ideal choice for former international students and workers.
Q: Does the certificate show spent convictions? A: The Zaświadczenie o niekaralności confirms your status at the time of inquiry. If a conviction has been legally “quashed” or “expunged” (rehabilitacja), it should not appear.
