When to check police clearance status

Good times to look

  • After submitting the online application
  • When the expected processing time has passed
  • If contacted by the local police station
  • Before a visa interview or job deadline
  • If verification has already been completed

Best practices

I always suggest waiting a few working days after you submit before checking your status. It takes a little time to get into the system.

What this means is, checking five times a day won't make it go faster. Give it some breathing room!

How to check status without logging in (SMS Method)

Did you know you can check your police clearance status without logging in? Just grab your phone, type PCC S [Your Reference Number], and text it to 26969.

For example, if your number is 1234567, you'd text PCC S 1234567 to 26969. Standard SMS rates do apply, so keep that in mind.

Status update frequency

Factors affecting processing time:

Local police station workload
Accuracy of documents
Address verification complexity
Public holidays

Status typically moves from “Submitted” to “Under Review” within a short time. The verification stage time varies by jurisdiction.

If an application remains unchanged beyond normal processing time, contact the relevant police authority.

Delayed status updates

Ensure the contact number is active.
Check whether you missed any phone call from the local police station.
Review your application for document clarity.
Wait for reasonable processing time before escalating.
Avoid submitting multiple applications for the same purpose, as this may create confusion within the system.

Use the password recovery option or ensure your internet connection is stable. Avoid multiple failed attempts.
