Australian Federal Police Check - Update
 

This is an update from the MIA:

Form 1101 is no longer to be used, and the new form - available at: http://www.afp.gov.au/__data/assets/...ation_form.pdf - is to be used from now on.

Apparently the AFP will accept the old Form 1101 for a while longer, but this is only so that any old forms that have been signed already and/or posted already can be processed.

As for completing the forms, when completing the new National Police Check Application Form you should ensure that for Question 4 (Purpose of NPC) on page 2 you enter the number 33. Code 33 is the correct code for Immigration/Citizenship.

Applications will not be processed without that code number.

Fingerprints are not required.

Cheers,
Veronika

How long it takes to get a police certificates? It has been nearly two weeks since the AFP said they have sent it.

If they have sent it out then it will take as long as it takes snail mail to get to you.

Hi,

For 176 visa, do I have to do both police check for AFP and my own country?
How should I get the form for police check for my own country? which form to use?

Re: Australian Federal Police Check - Update
 

That's correct, i'm assuming you're from the UK so take a look at this website and it will explain all:

You need an AFP check if you have spent a total of 12 months or more in Australia.
Forms and requirements for other countries are listed here -
