What Mandatory Documents Do I Need to Prepare for My Criminal Record Check?

 There are a few mandatory ID documents you will need to provide in order for your criminal record check to be processed. They are:
1 primary document. Examples of acceptable documents include your Australian marriage certificate issued by a state or territory, current proof of age or photo identity card issued by an Australian Government agency (in your name with a signature and photo), and current Australian drivers licence, learner permit, or provisional licence issued by a state or territory (it must show your signature and/or photo and the same name as claimed).
1 commencement document. Examples of acceptable documents include your current Australian passport (not expired), full Australian Birth Certificate (not an extract or birth card), and certificate of evidence of resident status.
2 secondary documents. Examples of acceptable documents include your Medicare Card, bank card, credit card, or photo Identity Card issued to an officer by a Police Force, the Australian Defence Force, or the Australian Government, or a state or territory government.
The way in which you will need to provide them will depend on which method of ordering your criminal record check you have chosen.
If you submit a paper application at a police station or post office, you will need to produce originals of these documents.
If, however, you order your criminal record check online with Crime Check Australia, you can simply upload a copy of your mandatory ID documents. Please note, you will also be required to submit a selfie holding one of the documents above that features a photograph of you. We ask you to do this so that we can verify your identity and help protect you from identity fraud. Click here to know more about #National Police Clearance.
