I need help for my mother, she is going to be immigrating soon to tge US, God willing. I need to get her police clearance certificate from Lahore and Karachi. The Lahore one was easy since she is current resident of Lahore, however we are finding it hard to get the one from Karachi, she lived there for 2 years like 20 years ago. Any suggestions?

Police Certificates

Unavailable

Comments:  Pakistan does not have a nationwide system to track criminal activities.  Police Character Certificates are available for a fee from District Coordinating Offices.  However, they are not an accurate reflection of an individual's criminal record.  An applicant who has committed a crime in one district may be able to obtain a clean Character Certificate from that district or another.  Given the inaccuracy of these certificates, they are not required for consular processing."

No, you don't.  As mentioned above, police certificates from Pakistan are NOT required for US immigration.
