Police vetting is completed based upon the information provided as follows:

• The applicants completed and signed 'Consent to Disclosure of Information' form
• That the agency has verified actual identity i.e. drivers licence
• That the agency has correctly submitted the vetting information
• That the vettor has processed the vetting request correctly
• That the Police Vetting Service has sufficient QA checks to confirm agreed workmanship standards have been met.

Police recommend that the organisation discusses information released as part of the vetting result with the person vetted before making an employment decision in order to consider the individual's view or explanation.

Potential employees are also to be given the opportunity to view any personal information provided by Police and to correct this if necessary (under the Privacy Act).

A correction may be sought by e-mail to QA.vetting@police.govt.nz or in writing to:

The Manager
Police Vetting Service
Police National Headquarters
PO Box 3017
WELLINGTON

The Police Vetting Service will in the first instance confirm that the information released was processed correctly.

If the vetting result is accurate, the voluntary fingerprint process can be used to establish identity. A letter will be sent to the applicant outlining this process.
