# Georgia Department of Corrections International Prisoner Transfer Notification and Acknowledgment Form

The United States has entered into international treaties with many countries which may
permit a foreign national prisoner from one of the treaty countries to transfer to his home country
to serve the remainder of his sentence. The State of Georgia has enacted legislation which allows
it to participate in the international prisoner transfer program. The transfer program is
discretionary and not everyone who applies will be qualified or will be approved for transfer. To
transfer your application must first be approved by the State. The United States and your home
country must also approve your application before a transfer can occur. If you are unsure whether
your country participates in this program, please contact your case manager or your nearest
consulate for more information. You may also need to contact your consulate to assist you and to
determine if your home country has any additional requirements.
