Certificate of No Criminal Record in Georgia
What you get
- An official Georgian police-clearance certificate
- Certified translation into English or your language
- Apostille so it is accepted abroad
- Handled remotely — by power of attorney
A certificate of no criminal record — also called a police-clearance certificate — is an official document confirming whether or not a person has a criminal conviction registered in Georgia. For a foreigner it is one of the documents most often requested when dealing with authorities at home or in a third country. Because Georgia is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, a Georgian certificate can be apostilled and used abroad.
On its own, the certificate is rarely enough for use in another country — it usually needs a certified translation and an apostille. We take care of the whole chain so you receive a document that is ready to use, whether you are still in Georgia or already abroad.
You are likely to need a Georgian clearance certificate for situations such as:
- Applying for a residence or work permit — in Georgia or in another country
- Immigration and visa applications that require a police-clearance certificate
- Employment, professional licensing, or registering certain businesses
- Marriage, adoption, or other civil procedures abroad
- Proving a clean record after a period of living in Georgia
How it works
- We request the certificate from the relevant Georgian authority — in person or, if you are abroad, through a representative under a power of attorney.
- We arrange a certified translation into English or the language you need.
- We obtain the apostille so the certificate is recognised in Hague Convention countries (or legalisation where the destination is outside the Convention).
- We deliver the finished, apostilled and translated certificate to you.
If you already hold a Georgian residence permit, or we already act for you on a power of attorney matter, we can usually move faster.
Get Your Clearance Certificate Without the Hassle
We obtain it, translate it and apostille it — remotely if you are already abroad
Doing it remotely, and what to prepare
You do not need to be in Georgia. With a notarised (and, where required, apostilled) power of attorney, our representative can request the certificate, arrange the translation and file for the apostille on your behalf, then send you the finished document. This is the usual route for people who have already left the country but still need a Georgian clearance certificate.
To start, it helps to have your passport (and Georgian ID or residence permit, if you have one) and to tell us the country and purpose the certificate is for — that decides the translation language and whether you need an apostille or legalisation. If we handle it remotely, we advise on the exact wording and notarisation of the power of attorney.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a Georgian certificate of no criminal record from abroad?
Yes. With a power of attorney, a representative can request it, arrange a certified translation and obtain the apostille on your behalf, then send you the finished document — no need to travel to Georgia.
Can it be apostilled and translated for use abroad?
Yes — this is the most common request. The certificate is issued in Georgian; we add a certified translation into your language and an apostille so it is accepted in Hague Convention countries (or legalisation for non-Convention countries).
How long does it take?
There are standard and express options; the total time depends on the certificate, the translation and the apostille step. Tell us your deadline and we will choose the fastest route that fits.
Do I need to already have a residence permit?
No. We can obtain the certificate for you whether or not you currently hold Georgian residence — although if you do, or if we already act for you, the process is usually quicker.
