What is a police check or police clearance?
A police clearance or police check is an official document listing a person’s criminal convictions for the period of 10 years prior to its date of issue. If a person has no criminal convictions the certificate will state this. The document can only be issued by the relevant authority in the country where the applicant has resided for the previous 10 years. Please note: it is not a requirement that house sitters have a police clearance, however it is recommended as home owners will give priority to applicants that have them.
