What is Criminal Record Certificate?

The criminal record certificate (Strafregisterbescheinigung) is a document containing either all of a person’s registered convictions in the Crime Register, and/or information that there are no such convictions. Only the person who filed the application can be issued the document.

Applicants for jobs in various sectors, including security and surveillance, will need to provide a copy of their current criminal record certificate as part of their job application. In most cases, the certificate must not be more than three months old.

How To Get Criminal Record Certificate in Austria?

The applicant must appear in person at the responsible authority at least once except when applying online (ID Austria (id-austria.gv.at) or EU Login), either when they submit their application or when they collect their certificate, in order to verify their identity.

This means that you can arrange for someone else to submit your application or to collect your certificate on your behalf. Individuals submitting applications or collecting certificates on behalf of someone else will need to show they are legally authorised to do so.

As a rule, applicants represented by their solicitors are not generally required to appear in person, provided that the authorised solicitor submits a copy of the applicant’s government-issued photographic ID along with the application.
