NSW police check before NOA2

[David R 2]

Hey Guys,

We are still waiting for our NOA2 and we are trying to do as many things as we can before we get our approval. I just did my medical and I am now onto the police check. I live in NSW and I was hoping some people may be able to answer a few questions for me.

Firstly, Does anyone know if there could be a problem doing my police check before we have our NOA2? Is it OK to have it done before the approval or should we wait until we get it for some reason?

Also, Can someone tell me which form I would need and where I can download it from? Do I bring it with me or will they have it at my local police station?

Any other tips or things I may have missed would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for your time guys!

David,

I did mine before the NOA2. No issue at all.

I did mine before my NOA2, no problem! Got this from the Embassy website

If you reside in New South Wales

Make an appointment, and then appear in person to be fingerprinted at your local police station. You must pay the fee of A$175 (subject to change, please check the current fee with the police) and complete an application form. Please ensure you complete form P799, which the police will forward to:

Address

Parramatta, NSW 2150

Telephone

Is it form 799 or form 800? I have heard both forms mentioned and I am a little confused.

To set up an appointment do I call my local police station?

Thanks heaps!

Sorry, I gave you the link to the form used for those residing in the ACT.

Have a read through the thread at the top of the Australia forum....you'll find some good info there, from the look of it people have used the P800. You will need to call your local Police Station to make an appointment and they will either do it there or refer you to another Station if they don't perform the checks themselves.

No worries, I have lived in Arizona for the past three years. Does that mean I will need to get a police clearance from them or do I get one from NSW as that is where I am now living??

Yeah you will need a police check from every country you have lived in for longer than 6 or 12 months....I have to get one from Canada, England and Australia.....

You will need a police certificate from NSW.

You do not need one from the USA. (They I guess have access to American records).

That is good news as that would have been a pain.

Thanks for your help!
