Fingerprints
If you need to submit an application for which a fingerprint check is also required you must submit the hardcopy fingerprints through the post accompanied by the completed offline application form. On-line applications where a fingerprint check is required cannot be accepted. Please note that fingerprints taken using a "Livescan" system cannot be accepted unless you send in the hardcopy scan of the fingerprints with your application.
Preparation of Identification Documents
If proceeding with your online application, please download and complete the 100 point checklist for identification documents. You must scan your identification documents prior to starting the online application process. Scanned files must be in .JPG .PDF or .TIF format, with each file being no more than 4MB in size. Please ensure your scanned files are legible or the processing of your NPC application cannot proceed. If you do not have a scanner, a camera can be used provided the above file requirements are met.
What if I cannot meet the scanning requirements?
If you are unable to provide your signed consent and ID documents in any of the required formats (ie in .JPG .PDF or .TIF) you will need to apply via the post using the offline application form.
