How to apply for a police check in Australia from overseas

[Ramey&Lo 1]

Hi VJ community I'm still waiting for my NOA2 to come but we think it should be very soon, so we are getting everything ready for the next step now, I been waiting to get my police certificate from Australia, cause I lived there for a year before and now I'm in Chile, and I figure that it is better for me to get it as close as I can from my interview date, but I don't want it to take longer and get in the way of our interview and process so we decide to get it done now, the problem is HOW, I had talk to a friend from over there so she can help me but now she doesn't answer my emails so I guest I'm on my own, so here is my question How can I apply for this police certificate from Chile, and how long do you think is going to take?

I'll really appreciate some feedback.

Thanks

I cannot say the time it takes in other countries to get the police certificate but I was told that mine was good for a year of issue date if that helps at all. So I would see hw long it will take and if yours would be the same year and get it ASAP.

The Aussie one is good for a year, but if you were still in Australia you would need an appt for getting your fingerprints taken...I'm not sure what the rules are when you aren't living there anymore Check with Chile's rules, and see what it says if you lived overseas and how long ago, you may not have to get it? (Not sure but my fiance lived here for a year and didn't need to get a police report for here :3) Good luck!

My lawyers told me I do need and I do not need to get fingerprints, I'm still in the hunting for the HOW
