Police Checks

Coordinating the national and international police checks required for your application — for every country you've lived in.

Overview

Character evidence, handled correctly

Most visa applications require police clearance certificates from Australia and every country you've lived in for a set period, often 12 months or more, since turning 16.

International checks can take weeks or months to arrive. We identify exactly which checks you need, help you apply for each one, and track them so they don't hold up your application.
