Top NZ Police Vetting Check FAQ

What’s the difference between a Police Vetting Check and a Ministry of Justice Check?

While both checks relate to and cover New Zealand, the NZ Police Vetting check is specifically used in cases where the individual will be in contact with children or vulnerable adults. It may also include information from New Zealand Police regarding interactions or concerns they have had with the person.

The New Zealand Ministry of Justice Check can be used to screen an employee in any role. Results of these checks will only include disclosable criminal and/or traffic convictions.

What information is required for a NZ Police Vetting Check?

The Police vet service require a candidate's personal information and proof of identification (passport, NZ driver's license etc.). If traditional forms of identification are not held, we will prompt the candidate to provide an accepted alternative document.
