Police Certificate from Mexico

[Blanquiz 0]

My case has been transferred to Ciudad Juarez for an interview that is scheduled for July 23, 2024.

 

I went into the CEAC website to upload most current income taxes for my sponsor and I noticed that it said one item was missing (or incomplete) for my daughter.  I clicked on the missing item it is a police certificate (no antecedents penales in Spanish). My daughter is age 17 and will turn 18 on October 2 of this year. 

 

I did some research and found that the NVC requires a police certificate for anyone age over 16. However, I also found out that in Mexico a police certificate will not be issued for anyone under age 18. 

 

I don't know how to resolve this issue. I don't want my daughter to be denied during our July 23 interview because of a missing police certificate.  Can anyone shed some light on this issue or tell me how to resolve this?

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.
