A restriction code is a reference to an administrative record, not a complete explanation of the person's legal position. Online lists of Ç, G, N and V codes may be incomplete or outdated.
The legal distinction
For a G-87 enquiry, first confirm identity, possible name confusion and the underlying measure. A code should not be presented as proof of a final criminal conviction. The authority, date, grounds and linked entry or deportation decisions matter.
Preparing your next step
Request the relevant official record through an appropriate procedure. Distinguish a correction request from an action challenging an administrative decision. This site does not assign unverified fixed ban periods to individual codes or offer personal record lookups.
