Police Vetting Express
Police Vetting Express
A New Zealand Police Vetting result is required for UAE employment and residence visa applications. NZ Police processes vetting requests through their Vetting Service, and the resulting document must be apostilled by the DIA and attested by UAE MOFA to be accepted by UAE immigration authorities.
Green Apple Attest offers an express bundled service that covers the NZ Police application, DIA apostille, and MOFA attestation with priority handling at every stage. For New Zealanders already in the UAE, we manage the entire process remotely through our Wellington-based partners.
Our express service prioritises your documents at every handoff point, ensuring the vetting result moves from NZ Police to DIA to MOFA as quickly as possible. We monitor processing daily and act the moment your vetting result is available.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Start the NZ Police vetting process as soon as you receive your UAE job offer. The combined vetting, apostille, and attestation timeline requires adequate lead time.
- If you are in the UAE, check whether the New Zealand Embassy in Abu Dhabi or a nearby NZ Honorary Consul can assist with identity verification.
- Ensure your identity documents are current and match your passport details. Discrepancies will delay the vetting application.
Frequently Asked Questions
NZ Police standard vetting takes approximately 5 to 10 working days. Our express service ensures immediate handoff to DIA the moment the result is available, with the full chain completing in approximately 15 to 20 working days including apostille and MOFA.
Yes. NZ Police accepts vetting applications from overseas. Identity verification can be completed at a New Zealand Embassy or Consulate, or through approved identity verification processes. We guide you through the requirements.
UAE authorities generally require police clearance documents to be less than six months old. We recommend timing the application so that the full apostille and attestation chain completes well within this window.
A police vetting is a broader check used for employment purposes and may disclose more information than a basic criminal conviction history. For UAE visa purposes, the police vetting result is the standard document requested. We confirm the correct document type for your situation.
