Hi, I have been racking my brain on this for some time. The requirements for needing a police certificate has been: "any country resided in for 6 consecutive months or more"
I have been to school in two countries but never stayed in either for 6 consecutive months, I'd be there for the semester 3-4 months and leave during vacation and then return.
Do I need to provide Police Certificates for these countries regardless?

Thanks

If you live there more than or equal to 180 days since reaching the age of 18, you must provide PCC for those countries. As you spent only 3 months, you definitely need not to submit PCC. Hope it clears to you.
