It is well known that non-local theories of gravity have been a flourish arena of studies for many reasons, for instance, the UV incompleteness of General Relativity (GR). In this paper we check the consistency of ST-homogeneous Gödel-type metrics within the non-local gravity framework. The non-local models considered here are ghost-free but not necessarily renormalizable since we focus on the classical solutions of the field equations. Furthermore, the non-locality is displayed in the action through transcendental entire functions of the d’Alembert operator that are mathematically represented by a power series of the
operator. We find two exact solutions for the field equations correspondent to the degenerate (
) and hyperbolic (
) classes of ST-homogeneous Gödel-type metrics.
