Georgian Police Clearance Certificate for Grenada — Remote, Fast & Officially Recognised
Living in Georgia and applying for Grenada's Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program, a Grenada work permit, or naturalisation? Grenada's Investment Migration Agency (IMA) and Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) require a police clearance certificate from every country where an applicant has resided for more than six to twelve months — apostilled and, if not in English, translated. If you've been living in Georgia, that means a Georgian Police Clearance Certificate. We manage the entire process remotely, so you never need to visit a Georgian police station in person.
Why Does Grenada Require a Police Clearance Certificate from Georgia?
Under Grenada's Citizenship by Investment Act and the CIU's due diligence requirements, applicants must submit police clearance certificates from their country of birth, country of citizenship, and every country of residence — including any country where they lived for more than six to twelve months in the relevant look-back period (commonly the past ten years). This applies to the main applicant and any dependents aged 18 and over.
If you have been living in Georgia, the Grenada CIU (or, for non-CBI routes, the Immigration and Passport Department) will expect a Georgian Police Clearance Certificate as part of your due diligence file. Requirements can be strict, since Grenada's CBI program undergoes close international scrutiny, so documents must be complete, current, and properly authenticated.
Grenada requires a Georgian Police Record for the following:
-
🌴 Citizenship by Investment (CBI) — National Transformation Fund contribution or approved real estate route
-
🌴 CBI dependents aged 18+ (spouse, adult children, parents, grandparents included on the application)
-
🌴 Grenada Work Permit applications
-
🌴 Grenada Residence Permit applications
-
🌴 Naturalisation under the Grenada Citizenship Act
-
🌴 Citizenship by marriage to a Grenadian national
What Is a Georgian Police Clearance Certificate?
A Georgian Police Clearance Certificate (also known as a Police Record, Criminal Record Extract, or Background Check) is an official document issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia (MIA). It confirms whether the applicant has any criminal convictions registered in Georgia's national criminal database.
The document is issued in Georgian and states either:
-
That the person has no criminal record in Georgia, or
-
The details of any existing convictions
For use in Grenada, the Georgian PCC must be:
-
Official — issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia
-
Apostilled — authenticated under the Hague Apostille Convention
-
Translated — into English by a certified translator (since Georgian is not an official language recognised by the CIU)
Why Does the Georgian Police Record Need an Apostille for Grenada?
Grenada is a member of the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 (the Apostille Convention), and Georgia is also a party to it. Grenada's CIU due diligence process requires supporting documents — including police certificates — to be properly notarised, apostilled, or legalised before submission.
The Apostille certifies:
-
The authenticity of the signature on the document
-
The capacity of the official who signed it
-
The seal or stamp on the document
Without an Apostille, the Georgian certificate will not meet Grenada's due diligence standards, and this can delay or jeopardise a CBI application already under review. Once apostilled, the document must be translated into English by a certified translator, since the certificate is originally issued in Georgian.
Important: the process must follow the correct sequence:
-
Obtain the PCC from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia
-
Apostille the PCC in Georgia
-
Translate the apostilled document into English

What Grenada's Authorities Check on Your Georgian Police Record
-
No criminal record — the certificate states no convictions are registered. This is the most common outcome and fully supports your application.
-
Convictions present — the nature, severity, and date of any offence are assessed by the CIU's due diligence process; serious criminality or concealment of facts can lead to refusal.
-
Document currency — the CIU generally expects police certificates to be issued within roughly 3–6 months of submission. Always confirm the exact window with your authorised local agent.
-
Apostille authenticity — verified as genuine as part of due diligence.
-
Translation accuracy — the English translation must precisely match the original Georgian document.
Validity note: Grenada's CIU typically requires police certificates dated within about 3 to 6 months of your application submission. Because CBI due diligence is thorough, order your certificate as close as possible to filing.

Frequently Asked Questions — Georgian Police Record for Grenada
Q: I am not Georgian. Can I still get a Georgian police record through PCC.GE? A: Yes. If you have lived in Georgia — regardless of nationality — you may have a record in Georgia's criminal database, and any person who resided in Georgia can request a Georgian PCC.
Q: Do my dependents also need a Georgian police certificate for the CBI application? A: Any dependent aged 18 or over who has resided in Georgia for more than the CIU's threshold period will typically need their own Georgian PCC. We can process certificates for the whole family.
Q: How long is the Georgian PCC valid for a Grenada CBI application? A: Grenada's CIU generally expects certificates issued within roughly 3–6 months of submission. Confirm the exact requirement with your authorised local agent.
Q: Do I need to travel to Georgia to get the certificate? A: No. The entire process is remote via a Power of Attorney (template provided) signed before a notary in your country.
Q: How long does the whole process take? A: Typically 7–10 business days from receipt of your POA and documents; express service is available for urgent deadlines.
Q: What if my Georgian PCC shows a conviction? A: The certificate will accurately reflect your record. Grenada's CIU evaluates severity and disclosure honesty as part of due diligence — concealment is treated far more seriously than a disclosed minor offence. We recommend consulting your CBI agent or immigration lawyer if you have concerns.
Q: Is Georgia part of the Hague Apostille Convention? A: Yes, which is why Georgian public documents, including police records, can be apostilled and are recognised by Grenada's authorities.

Q: What documents do I need to start? A: A scanned passport copy, a signed Power of Attorney (we provide the template), and your contact details.
