Georgian Police Clearance Certificate for Argentina

​

Why Argentina Requires a Police Clearance Certificate from Georgia

If you have lived in Georgia and are now applying for Argentine residency, citizenship, or a long-stay visa, the Argentine Migration Service (Dirección Nacional de Migraciones — DNM) requires you to submit a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) from Georgia as part of your application.

Argentine immigration law requires applicants to have no criminal record in any country where they have lived for 12 months or more during the 3 years prior to submitting their application. Georgia is no exception. The certificate must be apostilled under the Hague Convention and accompanied by a certified Spanish translation to be legally accepted by Argentine immigration authorities.

Since May 2025, under Presidential Decree 366/2025, Argentine immigration policy has been significantly revised — citizenship applications are now handled directly by the Argentine Migration Service rather than courts, and all criminal record certificates must be issued within the previous 6 months at the time of submission. A missing or improperly prepared Georgian PCC will result in automatic rejection of your application.

Through PCC.ge, you can obtain your official Georgian Police Clearance Certificate 100% remotely — without traveling to Georgia — with certified Spanish translation and Apostille included.

What Argentine Authorities Accept

The Argentine Migration Service (DNM) accepts the Georgian Criminal Record Certificate issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia, provided it is:

• Official — issued by the Service Agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia

• Apostilled — under the Hague Convention (Argentina is a Hague Convention member)

• Translated — certified translation into Spanish (Español)

• Recent — Argentine authorities require criminal record certificates to be issued within the previous 6 months at the time of submission

PCC.ge provides all of these in one complete package.

​

Validity Period

Argentine immigration authorities require that the Police Clearance Certificate be issued within the previous 6 months at the time of application submission. This is confirmed for both residency and citizenship applications. Since May 2025, under Decree 366/2025, the DNM and Argentine Migration Service apply stricter document completeness standards — expired or improperly apostilled certificates are rejected without exception.

​

Important: May 2025 Decree 366/2025

In May 2025, Argentine President Javier Milei issued Decree 366/2025, which significantly revised Argentine immigration policy. Key changes that affect your Georgian PCC:

• Citizenship applications are now processed by the Argentine Migration Service (not courts)

• Two continuous years of legal residence in Argentina are required before citizenship eligibility — any departure resets the clock

• All criminal record certificates must be current, apostilled, and translated at the time of submission

• Stricter enforcement of document requirements — incomplete applications are rejected

This makes having a properly prepared, in-date, apostilled, and translated Georgian PCC more critical than ever for Argentina applications.
