Justice Get Your Own Criminal Record
To check your criminal record (criminal conviction history) you must fill in and send us this form.
Related : Ministry of Justice Clean Slate Scheme New Zealand : www.statusin.org/42413.html
(This form used to be called a Priv/f1 form). You also must send us a copy of your valid identification (ID). You can’t ask for your record over the phone or without the form.
How to Fill this Form?
You can either :
** fill in the form electronically (type in the details) then print it and sign it or
** print out the form then fill it in by hand, using blue or black pen, and sign it. In both cases you must sign the printed copy.
Tips To Avoid Delays
** write clearly – if we can’t read your form we can’t process it
** sign the form – in the signature box with the red X
** follow all the instructions in the guide sections of the form
** check it’s correct before you send it
** send it within 6 months.
If your form is dated 6 months ago or earlier we won’t process it. You will need to fill in a new form. This is also the case if you change the date after you first fill in the form.
Asking For Your Full Record
If you’re eligible for a clean slate, your record will automatically be concealed under the Clean Slate scheme. However, sometimes you need to give your full record, including convictions that have been concealed.
For example, you might need a full record when you are :
** applying for some jobs (such as police, prison or probation roles)
** involved in court cases or tribunal hearings
** travelling to certain countries – check with the embassy or consulate of the country you want to travel to.
In most cases it is against the law for anyone to ask or make you reveal your full record.
Providing a Copy of Your ID
We use the copy of your ID to check that the right person has filled in the form. Your ID must :
** be a clear and readable copy
** exactly match the details in your form – write your name on the form exactly as it is on your ID
** not be defaced.
You must use one of the following :
** your New Zealand driver licence. This can be current or expired within the last 2 years, but must not be cancelled or a temporary licence.
** your New Zealand passport. This must be signed and can be current or expired within the last 2 years, but must not be cancelled.
** your overseas passport. This must be signed and current.
** your New Zealand firearms licence. This must be current.
If you don’t have any of these, you’ll need to ask someone to confirm your identity. They do this by filling in step 5 on the form.
