  • International travel
  • Citizenship or permanent residency applications
  • Adoption processes
  • Overseas study and internships

  • ✅ Overseas Police Clearance – If you’ve lived abroad for 12+ months, you may need to provide a foreign police check.
  • ✅ Name-Based or Fingerprint-Based Checks – Depending on your application type, we guide you on the correct format.
