Effective immediately, individual state-issued police certificates should no longer be requested.

Offices that process permanent and temporary residence applications from applicants who have lived for six consecutive months or longer in Mexico since reaching the age of 18 are now required to request both the Procuraduría General de la República (PGR) and Secretaría de Seguridad Pública (SPP) certificates. The SPP certificate is easier for applicants to obtain, and also includes a search for law infractions from state databases.

Instructions on obtaining a police certificates from Mexican police authorities has been updated on the Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s (CIC) website: www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/north-america/mexico.asp
