AFP Police Check Bundle
Coordinated Australian Federal Police national check application and express DFAT Apostille processing to preserve certificate validity for UAE immigration and employment purposes.
Bundled AFP National Police Check and attestation service. We handle the application to the Australian Federal Police, apostille through DFAT, and MOFA attestation for UAE visa requirements.
An Australian Federal Police (AFP) National Police Check is required for UAE employment and residence visa applications. The AFP issues these checks from their Canberra office, and the certificate must then be apostilled by DFAT and attested by UAE MOFA before it is accepted by UAE immigration authorities.
Green Apple Attest offers a complete bundled service that covers the AFP application, certificate collection, DFAT apostille, and MOFA attestation. For Australians already in the UAE, we manage the entire process remotely through our Australian partners. For those still in Australia, we provide guidance on the application and handle everything from DFAT onwards.
We monitor AFP processing times closely and act immediately when your certificate is ready, routing it to DFAT the same day to keep the timeline as short as possible. This back-to-back approach saves weeks compared to handling each step independently.

Insider tips
Frequently asked questions
AFP standard processing takes approximately 10 to 15 working days. Approximately 70 percent of checks are completed faster. Our bundle includes immediate routing to DFAT once the AFP check is issued, saving time between stages.
Yes. The AFP accepts applications from overseas. You will need to complete identity verification, which can be done through an Australian Embassy or Consulate, or through an approved online identity verification process. We guide you through the specific requirements.
UAE authorities typically require the police check to be less than six months old from the date of issue. We recommend starting the process with sufficient lead time to complete the full apostille and attestation chain within this window.
The AFP check will disclose any disclosable court outcomes. The check can still be apostilled and attested regardless of its contents. Whether a record affects your UAE visa is a separate immigration question that we recommend discussing with your visa advisor.
