Georgian Police Clearance Certificate for the USA

Why the USA Requires a Police Clearance Certificate from Georgia

If you have lived in Georgia and are now applying for a US visa, green card, or any immigration benefit through USCIS or the National Visa Center (NVC), you may be required to submit a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) from Georgia as part of your background check.

US immigration law requires applicants to provide police certificates from every country where they have lived for 12 months or more after the age of 16. Georgia is no exception. Failing to include a properly apostilled and translated Georgian PCC is one of the most common reasons for delays in US immigration cases.

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 the USA?

You likely need a Georgian PCC for the USA if you:

Are applying for an immigrant visa (green card) through the NVC or a US consulate
Are applying for adjustment of status (Form I-485) with USCIS inside the USA
Are applying for a K-1 fiancé(e) visa or family-based visa and lived in Georgia
Are going through a US citizenship or naturalization process and previously resided in Georgia
Lived in Georgia for 12 months or more after the age of 16
Are a US employer sponsoring a foreign national who previously lived in Georgia

Important: Both USCIS and the NVC require that the police certificate be issued directly by the official Georgian government authority — the Ministry of Internal Affairs — and be properly apostilled and translated into English.

What US Authorities Accept

US immigration authorities 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 (the USA is a Hague member state)
Translated — certified translation into English
Recent — USCIS and the NVC typically require the certificate to be no more than 6 months old at the time of submission

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

US immigration authorities generally require that a Police Clearance Certificate be issued within the last 6 months. We strongly recommend ordering your certificate close to your visa appointment or application submission date, and confirming the exact validity requirement with your immigration attorney or the NVC directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does it take to get a Georgian PCC for the USA?

A: Depending on your chosen package: 2 business days (Express), 7 days (Fast), or 10 days (Standard). All packages include the apostille and English translation.

Q: Does the certificate need to be apostilled for use in the USA?

A: Yes. The USA is a member of the Hague Convention and requires an apostille for foreign official documents to be legally recognized.

Q: What exactly does USCIS or the NVC ask for?

A: They require a police clearance certificate issued by the official government authority of the country where you lived — in this case, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia. It must be apostilled and accompanied by a certified English translation.

Q: I lived in Georgia many years ago. Do I still need the certificate?

A: Yes. US immigration requires police certificates from all countries where you have lived for 12 months or more after age 16, regardless of how long ago it was. However, the certificate itself must be newly issued — it cannot be an old document.

Q: Can I get the Georgian PCC without going to Georgia?

A: Yes. Our entire process is 100% remote. You send us your documents digitally, sign an authorization form online, and we handle everything in Georgia on your behalf.

Q: What if I had a legal issue or conviction in Georgia?

A: Please let us know in advance before ordering. Our lawyers can advise you on what the certificate will show and how to address this in your application.
