Georgian Police Clearance Certificate for Germany
Why Germany Requires a Police Clearance Certificate from Georgia
If you have lived in Georgia and are now applying for a German visa, residence permit (Aufenthaltserlaubnis), work permit, or citizenship (Einbürgerung), the German immigration authorities (Ausländerbehörde) or the German Embassy may require you to submit a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) from every country where you previously lived for 6 months or more.
Georgia is no exception. Whether you lived in Tbilisi for study, work, or business, a certified Georgian PCC is mandatory for many German immigration processes.
Through PCC.ge, you can obtain your official Georgian Police Clearance Certificate 100% remotely — without traveling to Georgia — with certified German translation and Apostille included.
Who Needs a Georgian Police Clearance Certificate for Germany?
You likely need a Georgian PCC for Germany if you:
-
Are applying for a German National Visa (Type D) for work, study, or family reunification
-
Are applying for a German residence permit (Aufenthaltserlaubnis or Niederlassungserlaubnis)
-
Are applying for an EU Blue Card in Germany
-
Are going through the German citizenship / naturalization process (Einbürgerung)
-
Lived in Georgia for 6 months or more while you were 18 years of age or older

Important: The German Foreigners' Office (Ausländerbehörde) and embassies require proof of a clear criminal record from all countries of prior residence. A police certificate from Georgia, properly apostilled and translated into German, fulfills this requirement.
What the German Authorities Accept
German immigration authorities accept the Georgian Criminal Record Certificate (Conviction 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 (Georgia and Germany are both Hague member states)
✅ Translated — certified translation into German language
✅ Recent — most German authorities require the certificate to be no more than 3–6 months old at the time of submission
PCC.ge provides all of these in one package. You do not need to coordinate separate providers.
Validity Period
German immigration authorities and embassies generally require that a Police Clearance Certificate be issued within the last 3 to 6 months. Some offices specifically require it to be no older than 3 months. We strongly recommend ordering your certificate close to your application date and confirming the exact validity requirement with your local Ausländerbehörde or German consulate.
