Police Certificates for Visa purposes

When applying for a visa to live or work overseas, you may need a police certificate. The application process may vary depending on the country you are applying to.


The Criminal Records Office (ACRO) issues Police Certificates to people who want to either:

  • emigrate
  • obtain a visa to live or work abroad
  • get citizenship or residency in another country

What if I need fingerprints for my visa application?

If the country you wish to emigrate to requires fingerprints for your visa application, you can book an appointment through the fingerprinting services page.
