Argentinian Police Certificates

Some Argentine citizens have reported problems when they have submitted a Police Clearance Certificate issued by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights to Immigration New Zealand. The Embassy of Argentina in New Zealand has now provided the following advice:

There are two equally valid procedures to get an Argentinian Police Clearance Certificate.
The first one is through the Argentinean Federal Police (Policía Federal Argentina), and the second one is through the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights (Ministerio de Justicia y Derechos Humanos– Registro Nacional de Reincidencia).
Both types of certificates can be processed through this Embassy or obtained directly in Argentina.

Action
Please discuss with your team(s) and ensure that both of the valid Police Certificates from Argentina are accepted by staff.
