Each country has different criminal record checking processes. The VIT only accepts checks that are outlined on the Department of Home Affairs website. 

To find an accepted overseas criminal record check go to the Offices and locations page on the Department of Home Affairs website and find the relevant country in the Find an office search. Navigate to the Police check heading and select Details and View more… to view instructions on how to apply for an accepted check.

Please note that your overseas criminal record check must cover the entire period of residence in the country.
