House M.D.

Hi guys,

Yesterday I was asked to provide Australian Federal Police (AFP) National Police Check. I've never done that before so would appreciate if you could walk me through this process.
I got several question which I would like to clarify.

Q1: I opened the provided link and it is specified there:

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) can only provide National Police Checks for:

residents of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Jervis Bay Territory and external Commonwealth territories
people seeking employment with the Commonwealth Government
people requiring a check under Commonwealth legislation
Australian immigration purposes
where the applicant resides overseas
overseas employment
overseas adoption
visa applications for overseas travel.

I live in NSW so it's a bit unclear if I'm eligible for online application or I should find NSW AFP.

Q2: What kind of ID documents I should certify with JP?

Q3: Is it correct link for online application https://afpnationalpolicechecks.converga.com.au/?

Thanks in advance.

You are applying for immigration purposes - see the line I put in bold. So yes this is the correct check.

You need to look at the list of documents they require - the list will state if they need to be certified.

Hi Pollyana,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I am asked to sign consent form (for name check), scan and upload it. Should I certify it with JP?

Thank you.

Pollyana

Do the instructions ask you to do that?

House M.D.

Unfortunately, nothing is written in this regards.

Then you don't need to do anything. If they wanted it certified they would say so. They give you the instructions on what to do, just follow those.
They can't possibly list all the things they don't want you to do, so they just tell you what they DO want.
