Difference between Local Police Station VS AuthNtick
In short, no. There is no difference in the Police Check document you receive from AuthNTick, your local police station or the post office as we all use the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission system to obtain this information. There is, however, a difference in cost, follow-up, communication and customer service efficiency and the way your police check is delivered to you. These are the areas in which AuthNTick stands head and shoulders above the rest.
