TL;DR
There has been at least one report of Bank of Georgia requesting a criminal record certificate before paying out a first-time Golden Crown transfer. Confirm with the specific branch in advance: obtaining the certificate may take about a week and a notarized translation may be needed.
A first-time customer collecting a Golden Crown cash transfer at Bank of Georgia was told to provide a criminal record certificate. This may be a branch- or case-specific compliance requirement, so confirm the document list before visiting.
If the bank asks for a criminal record certificate, do not expect to obtain it on the same day: one traveler reported a processing time of roughly one week. This can delay a cash-transfer payout.
A certificate issued outside Georgia may require a notarized translation. Before ordering it, ask Bank of Georgia which language and document format the branch will accept.
