How does a US/Australian citizen living in the US get an Australian police certificate?

[tcTTct 37]

I'm a US citizen and will be petitioning for my fiance who is from Vietnam. I was born in Vietnam but grew up in Australia from 1981-1997. The K1 requirements state that I need a police certificate for over from any country in which I resided for more than one year while age 16 or older.

How would I go about getting a police certificate from Australia? Australians please chime in.

Thank you.

Request an application from here -

Criminal Records – National Police Check

Australian Federal Police

Locked Bag 8550

Canberra City ACT 2601

Australia

Telephone from Australia: (02) 6202-3333

Telephone from elsewhere: +61 2 6202-3333

Make sure you tell them that you need a full federal police certificate - with fingerprints and name check.

USC does not need police certificates... only the non-USC alien who will be applying for a visa

True. I just re-read the OP. Silly me

Very true. I negelected to read the part that says "While waiting for interview to be scheduled, applicants should prepare the following documents:"

So only the beneficiary needs the police certificate. Woohoo.
