Australian Federal Police Certificate - Australian Government

You may need this certificate for employment, occupation-related licensing, registration, voluntary work, immigration or other related purposes. It provides a summary of your offender history in Australia.

You must use this Australian Federal Police (AFP) certificate if your request is for Commonwealth or Australian Capital Territory reasons.

You might need a national police check for things such as:

• recruitment and job applications
• volunteer and not-for-profit positions
• working with children or vulnerable groups
• licensing or registration scheme applications
• work-related checks due to legislation or regulations
• Australian citizenship and permanent residence applications
• visa applications for some countries
• working overseas.

Other States and Territories conduct their own police checks within their own jurisdictions.

To obtain this certificate, you must provide sufficient identification documents.
