Police Certificates ARGENTINA

[abckidz 0]

Has anyone had any experience obtaining police certificates from Argentina, specifically Buenos Aires? My fiance has since left Argentina, where she was living for 4 years. She has an identification card which more or less proves she lived there legally. Would that be enough? Would she have to return to Argentina to obtain the certificates? Any information would be greatly helpful. Thank you in advance.

Police Records

Available. If a person is physically present in the country, s/he must apply personally for a Police Record. The Argentine Federal Police issue a police record entitled "Certificado de Antecedentes". This document, which may be obtained only by bearers of Argentine passports, Cedulas, or DNIs (Documento National de Identidad, indicates whether a person has any previous convictions in Argentina. When a foreigner has applied for residence in Argentina, the Federal Police will, in certain cases, issue the certificate based on a request from the Argentine immigration authorities. In some cases, however, prior convictions can be expunged after 10 years have elapsed. The application for this document must be made in person to the Federal Police in Buenos Aires, and is available to any person over 18 years old who is physically present in Argentina, regardless of status. A fee is charged. Also acceptable is the "Certificado de Buena Conducta" which is available from all of the provinces of Argentina, except the provinces of Buenos Aires, Chubut, La Pampa, Misiones and Salta. These certificates must be applied for in person from the police office having jurisdiction over the place of residence. Argentine citizens and former residents abroad can apply for a police certificate through the nearest Argentine Consular office. They must be in possession of an Argentine identity card (Cedula de Identidad) issued by the Argentine Federal Police. (Processing takes up to six months). A passport may be issued to an individual at a consular post which would not indicate that there is no warrant for arrest, or a judge may have authorized the passport issuance even though there may be an outstanding warrant.

Thank you very much for the help - I was referring more to police certificates which could show the U.S. government that she lived in Argentina in the past. Any advice there?

This info is from the US Department of State so I assume it is what they would be looking for

You do not need police certificates for time spent in the USA. Your name was checked against the FBI database at the USCIS and NVC stages of the visa process, and your fingerprints will be run through the FBI computer at the time of your interview at the embassy.
