Guest NeilEB Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hi all, Could someone very kind walk me through the process for getting police certificates please? I only need from the UK. Am I right thinking only my wife and I need a cert? Not my 3 year old son? I've found this website: http://www.acpo.police.uk/NationalPolicing/ACROCriminalRecordsOffice/PoliceCertificates.aspx Is this the correct one? Do I get the certificates sent to me, or do I need to have them sent to Oz? Is one copy enough? I assume I can scan it in? Proof of address could be a bit tricky, as I don't have much sent to my current address - most goes to my old address and I have a redirection service send them on to me. Any ideas? Timelines - is it true to standard service is only 10 working days? Seems quick enough that I don't need to pay extra for the express service. Anything else I need to know? Thanks :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coxy04 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hi, Very easy and straight forward process, fill out forms, send with x 2 proof of address per person, over age of 16 only, include passport photo......we used standard service and took 2 weeks. Can be bank statement, or council letter or any printed (not hand written) document showing name and address. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NeilEB Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Thanks - and do I need only one copy that I can scan and email to DIAC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essextoaus Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Yes just one copy and you just colour scan it in. I didn't get it certified etc and that was fine. Mine took 3 wks from date of sending off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
