Hi Guys !

I assume I need police clearance from Australia as I was living there prior to 2011. Currently residing in India since one year. What will be the easiest way to get one if I really need this?

waiting for inputs from reliable sources......

TIA.

If you reside outside Australia

Applicants who live overseas should refer requests to the Australian Federal Police. Applicants are required to apply for a police certificate based on a name and fingerprint check. Police clearances issued on the basis of only a name check will not be accepted. More information is available on the Australian Federal Police website or via email at vetting@afp.gov.au

Hi,

I was in same boat weeks ago.Me too have Australian PR and was rambling everywhere for Background check info.

The only police checks you have to have are:

1) PCC from Regional Passport office

2) Police clearance from Australian Federal police AFP.Its imperative to get fingerprint check.The process I followed was:

a) downloaded and filled background check form from AFP website.

b) got my fingerprints done from Delhi

c) Forwarded my filled application and fingerprints to my friend in Australia who later added money order to my package

d) Within 3 weeks my friend received my background check from AFP as I authorized my friend to receive my check(you can choose this option whilst filling your AFP form), who later on couriered my check to my Indian Address.

I am in exactly the same situation - I just sent in my name and fingerprint check to the Australian Federal Police today via post. If you go to this link on their website:

AFP online application

you can actually do most of the application online and also pay via credit card, then just post in the downloaded and signed forms as well as the fingerprints.

You can also email them on their contact page and they are quite helpful and get back to you within a week with any questions you may have...

Good Luck!
