Police certificate from other countries of past residence

[Jake & Ali 0]

So I have read the police certificate requirements on the immigration website and am sure this is answered somewhere in the threads but...

my fiancé was in Australia on a travel/work visa for a year about 10 years ago. Do we need to get a police certificate from Australia for him as well as the UK where he currently resides. He thinks that since he kept his address in the UK, he shouldn't need the certificate from Australia. Also, does anyone have any idea how long it would take to get a police certificate from Australia for him if that is what we need to do?

Thanks.

Yes, he does need a certificate.

The packet 3 forms asks the person to list everywhere they have lived over the age of 16 for more than six months.

No idea how long it takes, but would get a move on!!

Taken me 2 months to get my Jamaican one...

Hi there Jake and Ali dont know if this info is soon enough but nevertheless: I travelled/ worked in Oz for 12 months and therefore needed to get a police certificate. This was easily done as u merely download the correct form an 820A Form from the state u lived in most/ last. Fill this in, send it off with (and here is the hardest part) a postal check for $29 - for this go to your own bank- cost for our check was £17. I sent the form off on 26/4/07 and received it 6/5/07... hope this helps.

Thanks Davidanddonita, we did end up sending off for a Australia police certificate and yes the postal check was the most rediculous part! Hopefully ours will arrive as quickly as yours did. Thanks for the info...much appreciated!
