Any tips on obtaining South African Police clearance from Australia for Citizenship application and best agent to use. Thanks I'm not sure where you are but we used "Hitchcock and Associates" - they had done our visa for us and so we knew we could trust them. They charged $300 for the 2 of us. https://www.hitchcock.com.au/ - Ask for Patricia Lee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did you use them from Aus. Did you do the appostilled police certificate or just a regular one for Aus citizenship, do you remember. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janti 3 Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I've used doc Assist three times. 2/3 were fine, the last time I had endless troubles. As far as I can tell DocAssist outsources all police clearance requests to "Postnet Pretoria CBD" (they have a fb page) (at least they did in 2018). Up to you whether you want to pay a middleman that just delays the process. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

1978 5 Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Does anyone know where to add the Police Clearance Certificates on the citizenship application? I have reached the point where I need to add the docs, but it does not prompt me for the penal clearances like the other docs eg birth cert, identity declaration etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TeeTMI 568 Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 With Citizenship applications In many cases you would not need police clearances. There is an the option to add additional documents at a later point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1978 5 Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Thanks @TeeTMI, will continue with the application. Have yet to get my PCC from South Africa. What a hassle.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would it be if we spent a further 12 months in SA after receiving our visa? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TeeTMI 568 Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 If you had spent 12 months in SA after you had received your visa then yes potentially. However, the amount of time varies (from 90+ days) depending upon the wider circumstances since the grant of PR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MovedAlready 0 Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Do you require your unabridged birth certificate to submit as supporting documents for citizenship application? I hope not as I applied for my unabridged birth certificate in early 2016 and I’m still waiting for a response from home affairs 😑 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moose2014 108 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 @MovedAlready did you ever get an answer to this question? We just got our citizenship test and interview appointment date for 9 Feb and we don't have hubby's unabridged cert, only abridged, and it clearly states they need a doc with both his parents details on it? SA Home Affairs had also "lost" his details when we applied last time so we never got it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
