Character

So I had to get my police checks done in both Australia and Malaysia.







The Australian Federal Police Check application was pretty easy. All I had to do was
1. head to the AFP website,
2. read the instructions,
3. print out the application form,
4. photocopy and certify my passport,
5. get a bank cheque and
6. post all of the above to the stated address.

It took them about a week or so to post the results to my home address.

Costs: Application fee $43 + Bank cheque $5.40 + Postage $0.60
Total: $49














The Malaysian Police Check was slightly more complicated. I had to
1. head to Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website,
2. lodge my application online,
3. print my application form,
4. call the Malaysian High Commission in Canberra to make an appointment,
5. submit my application at the Malaysian High Commission bringing with me:
-> original and 2 copies of Malaysian Passport
-> original and 2 copies of Malaysian Identity Card
-> original and 2 copies of Australian Visa
-> 2 passport sized photographs
-> confirmation of enrollment from the university
-> $10

I reached the Malaysian High Commission at 9am (appointment time) and I had to wait for half an hour before they saw me. I then had to wait until 11.30am before I can get my Letter of Good Conduct (police check).

Costs: Application fee $10 + Bank cheque $5.40 (found out that it was not necessary on that day itself although the website said they only accepted bank cheques or money orders)
Total: $15.40
