If you are convicted of a crime, a criminal record is created. This is the New Zealand equivalent of a police clearance certificate, police record, police file, police check or criminal check. If you are asked for any of these, a copy of your criminal record from the Ministry of Justice should meet the requirements. If you have no convictions, you will receive a letter stating that is the case.

If you meet all criteria under the Criminal Records (Clean Slate) Act your convictions will not be shown on your record, unless:

• your record is for your own personal use, AND
• you tick the box on the form requesting a full record.

It is against the law for most third parties to request or require that you disclose your full criminal record.

In specific circumstances, approved users can ask a person to provide a complete copy of their criminal record for example, if that person is applying to be a foster parent or a Justice of the Peace.

Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is normally issued for submission in Foreign Embassy for Visa/Immigration purposes.

Police provide approved organizations with a vetting service for potential employees or volunteers which is also sometimes called a police clearance or a police check.

Applying for a Police Clearance Certificate from your home country can be a challenge. Police Clearance Certificates are used as part of a visa application to determine if the applicant has a criminal history or not. Depending on what visa you are applying for, a police clearance requirement might be waived.

The certificate details whether or not the applicant has a criminal record in their home country or in any place where they have resided in the past and is required as part of the visa process by the respective High Commission or Embassy.
