Certified RCMP criminal record check translation in Panama

An RCMP Certified Criminal Record Check issued in English must be translated into Spanish for a residency filing in Panama. A Certified Public Translator (TPA) registered with MIRE translates, signs and seals it under Executive Decree 975 of 2017, with the apostille included. Canadian applicants use it for Friendly Nations, the Pensionado visa and other residency routes. The translation costs from $20 per 250-word page and arrives in up to 3 business days.

What do you need your RCMP criminal record check translated for?

How much does it cost?

Translating an RCMP criminal record check costs $20 for the first 250-word page (English ↔ Spanish), plus $0.08 per additional word, with no rounding up to full pages. Panama's 7% ITBMS tax is added on top. A one-page check comes to $21.40 with tax, and a 400-word check comes to $34.24. If your certificate is only in French, we are bringing French translators on board: message us and we will let you know.

How long does it take?

Standard delivery takes up to 3 business days. Express delivers in 1 business day (+50%), and Same-day (+100%) applies only when you pay before 11:00 a.m. and a translator is available. These timelines apply to documents of up to 10 pages (2,500 words); for longer documents we prepare a special volume price and confirm the timeline on WhatsApp. You see the exact timeline in your quote before paying.

Do you need an apostille before or after the translation?

Canada joined the Hague Convention in January 2024, so your RCMP check is apostilled first by Global Affairs Canada and then translated in Panama, with the apostille inside the translation. Translating before apostilling is the most common mistake and forces you to redo the work. You handle that step directly with Global Affairs Canada or through your attorney. Lingo does not provide apostilles, but we explain the right order. The translation takes up to 3 business days.

Frequently asked questions

Do you translate the RCMP criminal record check?
Yes, in its English version. A TPA registered with MIRE translates it into Spanish for Friendly Nations or residency in Panama, from $20 per 250-word page. Canada joined the Hague Convention in January 2024, so apostille the check at Global Affairs Canada first and then send it to us, so the apostille is included in the translation.
What if my RCMP check is only in French?
We are bringing French translators on board, and we do not give dates we cannot keep. Message us on WhatsApp and we will let you know as soon as French is available, with the exact price and timeline before you decide. Today we translate English ↔ Spanish from $20 per 250-word page and German ↔ Spanish from $25.
Who can sign the Spanish translation of my RCMP check?
For it to be valid in Panama, only a Certified Public Translator certified by MEDUCA under Executive Decree 975 of 2017 and registered with MIRE can sign and seal a translation that the National Immigration Service accepts. A translation made in Canada normally has to be redone here. If you will use the check in another country, the receiving authority's rules apply.
How much does it cost, and how fast can I have it?
From $20 per 250-word page plus $0.08 per additional word, with Panama's 7% ITBMS on top; a one-page check comes to $21.40 with tax. Standard delivery takes up to 3 business days. If your filing date is close, Express delivers in 1 business day (+50%). You see the exact total and delivery date in your quote before paying.
How recent does my RCMP check have to be?
The certificate does not expire by itself, but Immigration generally expects a recent one, often issued within the last three to six months. The exact window depends on the route and the reviewing officer, so request, apostille and translate it close to your filing date. Because Standard translation takes up to 3 business days, it can be the last step before you file.
