What information do I need to provide for a National Criminal History Check?

To get a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check in Australia (also known as a Control de la Policía Nacional), you need to give us some personal details and three identity documents. The application takes about 10 minutes once you have paid.

Antes de empezar #

• An email address and a mobile phone to register your CheckHub account. Use the same mobile number you used to pay.
• Your mobile phone for the face scan, even if you start on a computer.
• A credit card to pay for your check online.
• You must be 16 or over to apply online.

Personal details #

• All names, past and present, including maiden names, previous names and aliases
• Your date of birth and place of birth
• Información de género
• Sus direcciones durante los últimos 5 años

Most of your details are filled in from your ID documents. Check each one and add anything missing.

Nombres anteriores #

Declare any name that has appeared in official records, such as employment, government or bank records. You don’t need to include casual nicknames. If any of your ID is in a former name, you also need a marriage certificate or change of name certificate that links it to your current name. Read Previous names and change of name documents.

Tres documentos de identidad #

You need three documents, one from each group, and at least one must show your photo. Most people use:

• Nacido en Australia: passport, driver licence and Medicare card
• En cuanto a la visa: foreign passport, VEVO check and Medicare card

A VEVO check must be a PDF downloaded within the last month. Screenshots aren’t accepted.
