Police Clearance Letter-Mexico

[RichMichelle 9]

We have a very rare case and was needing some advise/help with it. My fiance is a South Korean citizen but spent two periods of time in Mexico, first as a student studying abroad and the second working for a Korean company in Mexico. We are early in the process but want to get out ahead of the curve and get the police clearance letter. She lives in Korea now and I am in Los Angeles. What would be our best course of action in obtaining the police clearance? We don't really want to have to go to Mexico in person to get this so I'd like to know if there are companies that handle this sort of thing? Also, what kind of documents are required for the police department to issue a letter? And to complicate matters, my fiance legally changed her name in Korea right before we submitted our petition so her new name will not match with the name she used while in Mexico. 😂

I cannot help you much, but I legally changed my name between NOA1 and NOA2 and I find myself sending (non-certified) photocopies of my deed poll (the name-change document in Singapore) everywhere. I imagine if you Google "police certificate" with the country, you could possibly find instructions to apply for a police certificate. In my case, even though the instructions I followed did not include a deed poll for change of name, I included it anyway because the name I use now is different from what is on my birth certificate. It worked. I'm now in the U.S. and my adjustment of status interview is next month.

 

Good luck!

when she applies for it, she will need to provide all her legal names she has ever had and used and they will search the database for all names listed.
