Note: Applicants for residence under Partnership or Dependent Child categories can re-use police certificates from a previous temporary entry application, if that certificate is less than 24 months old.
However, this does not apply to the supporting partners in Partnership applications - supporting partners will have to submit a Police Certificate that is less than six months old.
if you are aged 17 or over, attach police certificate(s) from any country (except for New Zealand) in which you have lived 12 months or more in the seven years before the application is made.
