Hi there, 

CR1 here. I need help for getting a police certificate from Mexico.

I am from Turkey and I lived in Tijuana, Mexico for 6.5 months. My husband lives in San Diego. In order to be close to him , I lived there and as soon as we received our PD2 from Texas Service Center. I went back to Turkey to complete the process here. However after we paid all the fees and submit the forms & tax return. NVC asked for a Police Certificate from Mexico bcause I lived there more than 6 months. I did not know that :( 

We contacted the office in Mexico and they need my finger prints. and I called the Mexican Consulate here in Istanbul they said you do not need fingerprints because you are not a citizen neither resident. We are torn now!

Do not know what to do and I am afraid if this paperwork delays our schedule it has been already more than a year we are suffering.

Does anyone know by change about how to obtain this certificate?

 

Thanks very much,

Special Seal(s) / Color / Format: The seals, colors and format vary by state.

Issuing Authority Personnel Title:   The issuing authority title varies by state.

Registration Criteria:  The registration criteria vary by state.

Procedure for Obtaining: Contact the individual State Police for instructions.

Certified Copies Available:  Certified copies are not available.

Alternate Documents: If the state police record is unavailable, visa applicants must provide a federal record called a “Carta de No Antecedentes Penales” from the Dirección General de Ejecución de Sanciones, Comisión Nacional de Seguridad. To make the request, applicants must provide the following documentation:

For Mexican Nationals:

  • Mexican Voter ID Card from the Instituto Federal Electoral (original and a copy)
  • Birth Certificate (original and a copy)
  • Proof of residence in Mexico (original and a copy)

For Foreign Nationals:

  • FM2, now called the “tarjeta migratoria”, or passport (original and a copy)
  • Birth certificate translated into Spanish (original and a copy)
  • Proof of residence in Mexico (original and a copy)

If the applicant is not able to make the request in person, a family member can do so in the applicant’s name by taking a power of attorney signed by the interested party to: 

Dirección General de Ejecución de Sanciones, Comisión Nacional de Seguridad

Calzada de Tlalpan No. 2962

Col. Espartaco, Deleg. Coyoacan, C.P. 04870

Mexico City, Mexico

The office is open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.  For inquiries about the process, applicants may call the institution at:  011-52-55-5128-4100 and 011-52-55-5599-2000, exts. 18992, 18993, 18994 y 18733.  

Exceptions:  None

Comments: Versions of the police certificates vary from state to state. Police certificates from the local town halls or cities are unacceptable. In Mexico police certificates are only available for applicants 18 and over.  A police certificate from every state in Mexico is generally not required for an IV application. A single police certificate is sufficient.  Only when an IV applicant has lived in Mexico for six months or more and after the age of 18 is a police certificate required. 

However, consular officers may request a state police certificate where an individual was resident for more than six (months) on a case by cases basis.
