Application Rejected because of Police Check

[thegh0sts]

I got a notice saying that my Application was rejected because I did not provide an acceptable police certificate. Not sure what that means because I saw the sample and it looks the same.

You need to give more details if you are looking for help.
Which countries have you stayed in the past. What PCC did you submit. How and when did you obtain your PCC.

Which stage did you get rejection? IP 1, IP 2 or NA 2?

I got this a few weeks after submission. I submitted an Australian police check but on further investigation the one I provided was issued by the state police and not the federal / national level.

So I've go ahead and applied for a police certificate from the Australian Federal Police and reapplied. My CRS is still 457.

Also, did you get all documents that apply to you?

Name of document(s) to get:

• Australian National Police Certificate – Standard Disclosure – name check only (issued by the Australian Federal Police)
• Traffic History (for residents of Queensland only)
• Full Licence History Search (for residents of Victoria only)

Usually for police certs you get rejected at IP1 stage, no?

Yes, as I do not reside in either Queensland or Victoria.

It never got fully reviewed according to the letter.

Anyway, I've already resubmitted a new profile in the hope that I'll get an ITA again. The police certificate seems to be the only reason it was rejected. All my other credentials like my medical, ECA, IELTS results are still valid.

I'm new to this but in my understanding, at IP1, they just check if the police certs are OK, so they don't fully review all documents.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience but if I may say, the fact you got this at the early stages of your application, is a good thing. At least you haven't waited 6 months to know about it and now you can apply again quickly. Good luck with that.

Yes, but that's not the problem. it's the issuing authority is the problem.

I wouldn't say it's bad. Definitely an annoyance but I guess I should have checked before submitting in the first place.

If I get rejected again then I won't bother applying a third time.

Hi All.
I got i guess the same rejection reason, "Police Certificate: The Police certificate from Australia that you provided with your application is not acceptable. Please consult ...". I have lived in NSW and have never resided in Queensland or Victoria hence I think i don't need any letter from Queensland or Victoria.
@harnav sra @thegh0sts did u find a way out? Can you help me with what worked for you?
Thanks in advance
