However, approximately 30% of national police checks are referred for manual processing. If this occurs, the clearance may take from 1 – 15 business days to be returned.

Therefore, we always recommend that applicants living in Adelaide order their national police check at least 2 weeks before the certificate is required.
What is the difference between an SA police check and a criminal history check?
There is no difference between a SA police check and a criminal history check, apart from the issuing organisation’s branding and logo that may appear on the clearance in SA.

Turnaround times are based on our experience of the time taken for the majority of these checks to be delivered. However, CVCheck is reliant on third parties for supply of information, and in some cases those third parties may take longer to supply that information. Accordingly, CVCheck does not give any time guarantees for any checks or packages. It is CVCheck’s policy and practice to keep you informed as much as possible if there are any unusual delays.
