You have to get a police certificate for every state in Mexico you have lived in (might not need one for a particular state if you didn't live there long). You'll have to go to a local government office to get one. We got ours from the "Unidad Administrativa" in Guadalajara.

 

Some users have posted about services that allow you to pay a fee (around $300-$500 USD) to get it for you. This would save you a trip if you're not currently in Mexico. You can find some of these discussions in the Mexico and Latin America sub forum.

If I lived in mexico only for 3 years as a baby/toddler, would I still have to get one?

I believe only if you were an adult, the requirements can be found here: https://mx.usembassy.gov/visas/instructions-for-immigrant-visa-applicants/ .

 

This is the relevant section, but unfortunately they don't mention anything about age, though I have read on here about it only being required for countries where you lived in as an adult:

Police Certificate: An applicant must present a police certificate, if obtainable, from his or her country of current residence and country of nationality, if residence in such country exceeds six months.  Police certificates are required from countries of previous residence, if residence there was for more than one year.

Hi everyone!

 

When you receive your checklist from the NVC, there should be specifics in it about the police certificate.

My husband's said he needed a certificate from every Mexican state he lived in for more than 6 months over the age of 18.

If any state is not available, you need to get a Federal version from Mexico City. 

Every state is different; FYI Nuevo León was difficult to get, but we got it.

And you definitely need them at CDJ; it was one of the few things they actually asked for at the interview.

 

Good Luck!
