Do I need a certificate of innocence to go to Australia?

Most visa applications in Australia have clear requirements for the applicant's personality: the applicant needs to issue a certificate of no criminal record, and as long as the applicant has lived in 12 months, he needs to issue the above-mentioned certificate of no criminal record. Australia's immigration policy requires that immigration applicants who have lived in any country for more than 12 months in the past ten years should provide relevant certificates with no criminal record.

1. What is Australia's innocence certificate?

Australians living in China, or China people living in Australia for a long time, will be required to provide proof of no criminal record due to work, immigration, visas and other factors.

Australia's immigration policy requires that immigration applicants who have lived in any country for more than 12 months in the past ten years should provide relevant certificates with no criminal record. So as long as you have lived in Australia for more than one year, you must provide it when you apply for immigration.

Applicants don't need to be in Australia, even you can apply in China, because it is very convenient to log on to AFP website.

2. Australia has no criminal proof purpose.

If you have a China passport and want to apply for an Australian immigrant visa, you need to provide this certificate.

If you hold an Australian passport and want to apply for a Chinese visa, you need to provide this certificate.

3. How to handle the crime-free notarization in China?

1, go to the police station to apply, and the corresponding documents will be sent to you after approval. Remember to bring your ID card, household registration book and other materials.

2. Because the certificate is in Chinese, it can't be used as visa application materials. You need to go to the notary office for translation and notarization after getting the certificate.

3. Submit the translated notarized color print to the Immigration Bureau.

When writing an application for the purpose of processing, it is not recommended to write "immigration", but generally it is recommended to write "going abroad", "visa", "working" and "visiting relatives". In fact, it doesn't matter what the purpose is. Anyway, the crime-free notarization done by the notary office will not write the purpose, only that this person has not committed a crime, which is in full compliance with the standards of the Immigration Bureau.

4. Can I apply for immigration to Australia with a criminal record?

Yes, but we should consider the actual situation.

If the applicant is imprisoned for less than one year, the Immigration Department needs to consider other factors:

Protecting people's safety: consider the harm of the applicant's criminal behavior to Australia.

Homeless violence: Considering the severity and frequency of domestic violence and whether it will happen again after the relevant authorities announce the warning, Australia's tolerance for domestic violence is very low.

Ensuring the best interests of Australian minor children: The Australian government will protect the interests of children as much as possible, taking into account the relationship between the applicant and the minor children, the age of the children, the potential harm of criminal acts to the children, and whether the children have committed criminal acts.

Individual citizens need to apply for a certificate of no criminal record, and the specific process is as follows:

1. Prepare application materials, including: personal ID card and household registration book;

2. The applicant himself applies to the household registration police station where the household registration is located;

3. After the application, it will be reviewed by the staff of the household registration police station;

4. Certificate of no criminal record issued with the approval of the household registration police station.
