Australian Police Clearance

[NCWife 0]

Hi all....

I have just received my Australian Police Clearance that I have ordered a month ago and I opened the perfectly sealed envelope. Do you think it is going to be a problem? Also, the police clearance does not even look real, I mean it looked like a photocopy of the original plus the signature on it was a scanned signature...... Should be okay, right?

*I think I worry too much*

Cheers!

When my fiance got his police certificate it was not in an envelope or anything. I even asked him to make a copy for me (I want to see what it looks like).

I should think you will be OK.

Pretty crappy looking right?! I got mine and thought it would at least have some kind of seal on it!

I took mine out too, don't worry about it - they didn't care.

Interesting, my Husband's Australian police certificate was done up on letterhead, just like a regular letter really. We didn't DCF, we filed through USCIS directly in the U.S., however we opened it and sent it in to the NVC - no problem.

Yes, mine was done on letterhead but the whole thing looked photocopied. I was expecting at least color printing, real signature or even a nicer piece of paper... It's ok.. at least I got it fairly quick so I can't complain too much heheehe !

Hi There!

I have had mine Australian Police Record and its nice to know that the $60 or so that I paid for a record check came on a nicely printed, muliticouloured, police sealed stamp. Just to make sure its legit, a police record contains several built-in security features such as the police stamp are "heat sensetive" and will disappear if any heat or friction is applied. The document can be magnified to view certain security imprints. So nothing can be forged or altered. Also the back of the record should have a document number stamped in red.

I have heard many horrfic stories from friends of mine in politics and immigration were police records were fraudulent and altered and instead of those people getting a visa they got a visa to jail for fraud!

As long as you requested it from a police station it should be legit. Oh and it should arrive in a A4 envelope. Apparently no documents from AFP or police are folded!

Umm,..dcnry,..you did get the police check that had a fingerprint check as well didn't you?. because it should of cost you closer to $110, not $60.

Okay my Police Record from AFP is completely from yours. Mine's folded, no seal, black and white, digital signature...... But I am not an Australian though, I just lived there for a few years. I sent my package from overseas direct to AFP in Canberra... and mine cost almost AUD 100. Sooo..... should I be worried?

Hi Jodee,

Yes i did. I had a police record done seperately months ago the cost was rnd $60 but to get the fingerprinting done and check its $120 which i did get done. You have the option of doing both or just getting a normal criminal history check.

Sorry it was $175....not $120...each state has their own set of fees.
