NZ Police Constabulary Recruitment Vetting
Application ID: 
Kia ora TAG4, 
Thank you for applying to join NZ Police, and for speaking with me earlier. 
Our records show you have lived in XXX for a period of three months or longer. Therefore you are 
required to obtain a police certificate from XXX. 
If you have previously obtained a police certificate (for example, if you immigrated to New Zealand 
and were required to obtain one as part of the immigration process), please provide a certified 
copy of this document. 
A certified copy is a photocopy that has been stamped or endorsed by a person who confirms that 
the copy is a true copy of the original document. The person who certifies the copy must be 
authorised to do so by law – for example a lawyer, Notary Public, Justice of the Peace, or court 
official. 
If you need to obtain a new police certificate, we recommend you contact the relevant Consulate 
or Embassy for advice on how to do this. 
For more information on specific country procedures please click here. 
Please email your police certificate to this address. 
You must provide the certificate within four months of completing an assessment day. 
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me. 
Nga mihi, 
NZ Police ConstabularyRecruitment
