Question for the Australians in the group.

When getting the police clearance for DTV, is it a state or federal police check that is required?

Fingerprint search or not?

Just curious to see which I need to get.
Answer summary
For Australians applying for the DTV visa, a federal police clearance is required, specifically a National Police Certificate from the Australian Federal Police. The process is straightforward, and no fingerprints are needed.
