Notarial Services: Letter for Certificate of No Criminal Conviction

 A certificate of no criminal conviction (CNCC) can be issued by the Hong Kong Police with a referral letter from a consulate in Hong Kong.  It is the equivalent of a police clearance. 

Visit the Hong Kong Police website for a list of acceptable reasons to apply for a CNCC. The Consulate cannot guarantee the Hong Kong police will accept your application.  The process for obtaining a CNCC is determinded by the Hong Kong Police.  If you are unsure of any part of the process, you should confirm details with them.

We are unable to provide a letter for a CNCC for the following reasons:

  • Australian visa and migration purposes.  Please refer to our Visas and migration page of our website for further information.
  • Foreign visa applications.  Please contact the Consulate who is issuing the visa.
  • Other uses outside of Australia.  The Hong Kong Police require the letter to be provided by the government of the country requesting the CNCC.
