PCC CURRENT COUNTRY OF RESIDNCE

[iraq85]

Recently, I moved to New Zealand less than one month ago. I am about to submit my PR application next week. Do I need to provide a police certificate for my current country of residence (New Zealand) ?



Thanks

No, not required since your stay is less than 6 months.
If you had been to NZ earlier and your total stay in NZ till DATE is 6 months or more, only then you would require PCC from NZ.

I think you should not give them a reason to reject your application. Technically, you cannot use the PCC that you were issued when you were still living in your immediate past country of residence. If I were in your shoes, I'd apply for a NZ police certificate, and also a new certificate from the country I just left. My humble opinion.

"For the applicant’s current country of residence, the police certificate must be issued no more than six months before submission of the e-APR.

For countries in which the applicant no longer lives, the police certificate must have been issued after the last time the client lived in that country."

Thanks dear. This sentence which has confused me about whether to get NZ PCC or not.
