NZ police cert for NVC stage?

[rok1213 1]

Wondering if someone can clarify where/how I obtain a police check from NZ for the NVC stage? Is it from the Ministry of Justice? I was told that for the interview stage, you get sent the application for the police check...so, for NVC is it a separate application?

Yes, you need a police certificate.

Thanks for the above info and pointing me in that direction!

Where can I get the 'NVC BAR CODE SHEET'??

login to the ceac portal

after you've paid the immigrant or aos fee, click on 'paid' and scroll down. there, if you click on "print document cover sheet", you'll get a copy of a bar code with your case number on it.

What is the "Post case number (e.g. ACK for Auckland) or A# " that the instructions say I must include? My clearance authorisation is for a DV application. Thank you!
