Georgian Police Clearance Certificate for Israel

​

Why Israel Requires a Police Clearance Certificate from Georgia

If you have lived in Georgia and are now applying for an Israeli work visa, residence permit, or permanent residency, Israeli immigration authorities — the Population and Immigration Authority (רשות האוכלוסין וההגירה) — require you to submit a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) from Georgia as part of your background check.

Israeli immigration law requires applicants to provide criminal clearance certificates from their home country and every country where they have previously resided. Georgia is no exception. The certificate must be apostilled under the Hague Convention and accompanied by a certified English translation to be legally accepted by Israeli authorities.

Israeli immigration officials assess criminal history to determine whether it presents a potential security risk. A missing or improperly prepared Georgian PCC will delay or block your Israeli visa or residency application.

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

​

Who Needs a Georgian Police Clearance Certificate for Israel?

You likely need a Georgian PCC for Israel if you:

• Are applying for an Israeli Work Visa (B/1) and previously lived in Georgia

• Are applying for Israeli Temporary Residence (A1, A2 status) and resided in Georgia

• Are applying for Israeli Permanent Residence (A5 status) and previously lived in Georgia

• Are a foreign expert or specialist invited by an Israeli company and lived in Georgia

• Are applying under the Law of Return (Aliyah) and resided in Georgia

• Are applying for Israeli citizenship (귀화) and previously resided in Georgia

• Are applying for family reunification in Israel and your spouse or family member lived in Georgia

• Are over 18 years of age and have lived in Georgia for a significant period before your Israeli immigration application

Important: Israeli immigration authorities — including the Population and Immigration Authority and Israeli consulates abroad — conduct background checks covering all countries of prior residence. A clean and properly apostilled Georgian PCC is a mandatory part of your complete application file.

​

What Israeli Authorities Accept

The Israeli Population and Immigration Authority and Israeli consulates accept 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 (Israel is a Hague Convention member, and apostille is required for Georgian documents)

• Translated — certified translation into English. Israeli authorities accept documents in Hebrew or English. Since Georgian is neither, a certified English translation is mandatory

• Recent — the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs requires the criminal clearance certificate to be valid for 6 months from the date of issue

PCC.ge provides all of these in one complete package. You do not need to coordinate separate providers for the certificate, apostille, and translation.

​

Validity Period

Israeli immigration authorities require that a Police Clearance Certificate be valid for 6 months from the date of issue. This is confirmed on the official Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs website for work visa applications. We recommend ordering your Georgian PCC close to your Israeli consulate appointment or application submission date to make full use of the 6-month validity window.

​

Israeli Visa and Residence Types That Require the Georgian PCC

B/1 Work Visa The Israeli work visa for foreign nationals requires a criminal clearance certificate valid for 6 months, translated and certified. This is confirmed on the official Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs embassies portal. The certificate is required for all foreign workers including specialists, experts, athletes, and performing artists.

A5 Permanent Residence Israeli permanent residence applications require a police clearance certificate from your home country and every country where you have resided. The certificate must be apostilled and translated.

A1/A2 Temporary Residence Temporary residence status applications in Israel require background documentation from all countries of prior residence, including a certificate confirming the absence of a criminal record.

Law of Return (Aliyah) Persons applying for Israeli citizenship under the Law of Return who previously lived in Georgia are required to provide criminal background documentation as part of the Aliyah application process handled through the Jewish Agency and Israeli consulates.

Expert and Specialist Visa Foreign experts and specialists invited by Israeli companies must provide a criminal background check confirming no criminal record. This is a mandatory document confirmed by the Population and Immigration Authority.
