Police clearance New Guinea

[Meefsgirl 0]

Hi All,

I believe we need a police clearance from everyplace we've lived in from age 16.

I lived in New Guinea with my parents until age 17. My father was an Australian soldier on duty in New Guinea. At that time New Guinea didn't have independance but was dependant on Australia.

Who would have the records of anyone who lived in New Guinea at that time? New Guinea or Australia?

If you are doing DCF in Australia, I would email the Consulate in Sydney and ask them. Their email address is: sydneyiv@state.gov.

You can email, fax or go in person. See: http://sydney.usconsulate.gov/consular/iv.html

Thank you so much Sadie! I'm always amazed at how helpful people are in here.

You're most welcome. BTW, there is a New Guinea Embassy in Canberra and that might be a good source of information too. See: http://www.pngcanberra.org/ You might email them, outline your situation and ask how you get a police clearance for that period of time. HTH

WOW! And here I was wondering if anyone could answer my question. Good stuff!

Be sure to include the info about your father's status during that time when you talk to the US Consulate; it may make a difference.
