Police certificates How to obtain a police certificate
Applicants for visas must be of good character. You may have to supply a police certificate (or similar) as evidence of good character, depending on which visa category you apply under.
- Police certificates must be less than six months old when you submit your application.
- We may ask for further police certificates if your initial police certificate becomes a year old from its date of issue before we make a decision on your application.
If you need police certificates from more than one country you can keep adding on by selecting another country.
