Australia Police Check AFP for K1 2021 (Non-Australian Nationality)

[leevs 3]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm a non-Australian national who had previously lived in Australia for a few years. As part of the K1 visa requirement "Police clearance obtained from all countries of residence of more than six months since the age of 16" would like to know if anyone has answers to this:

1) Purpose of police check: Current threads for aussies indicate #33, does the same apply for non-Australians? (#33 Immigration/Citizenship - for supply to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection OR #35 Overseas Visa - Supply to a Country Other than Australia)

2) Postage of police check: Noticed that no additional charges were indicated beyond the standard AUD42 even though mailing address is outside of Australia, does this fee include overseas postage?

 

Thanks in advance!

Have you checked the State Departmentry website to see the requirements?

This information applies to anyone needing an Australian police certificate, not hust AustralIan citizens.  It states you need to select Code '33' and,, in bolded, underlined, capital letters, "DO NOT SELECT Code '35'" -- so, I think they mean it!
