Can I use a National Police Check for immigration or visa purposes?
For immigration or visa purposes, it is required to complete an Australian Federal Police Check (AFP). An AFP check differs from a National Police Check based on the purpose of why an individual is completing a check.
An Australian Federal Police Check is commonly used for the following:
- International Employment Applications
- International and Spousal/Marriage Visa Applications
- Australian Immigration and Citizenship
- If Applicants are Currently Residing/Living Outside Australia
