Criminal/Civil Records Search

Police certificates (Pasado Judicial) may be obtained in Bogota at the Identification Division of the Department of Administrative Security (DAS), Colombia's equivalent of a federal law enforcement agency.  Colombian police certificates contain information regarding outstanding warrants only.  They contain no information regarding prior arrests and/or criminal convictions.  Police certificates have a validity of one year.  

The immigration division of DAS can provide a Colombian citizen's record of entries and departures from Colombian national territory since 1990.
