Getting an international money order in Dublin for an Australian Police Check

econnell

Hi, I am living in Dublin and am trying to get a money order in AUS$ for an australian police check. I am with Bank of Ireland and was told that they no longer do money orders for anything less than 400euro (i just need one for the value of AUS$49). I also asked at An Post and they dont do them either. Does anyone have any ideas where i can get an international money order in Dublin?

Thanks a mill.

I don't know, but do you already have any friends in Oz? If you have one you trust, you could get them to do either a postal order or write a personal cheque for you, then send the stuff you need onto them so they can enclose the cheque and then post it in OZ. Meanwhile you just transfer the money electronically to them in OZ.

thanks a lot for your reply. I do actually have a mate over there so this might be the easiest way to do it! :-)

Post office. International money order. You may have to hound the AFP though. Mine took ages. They're supposed to refund the fee if the cert takes longer than 3-4 weeks. No sign of the refund yet. May have to start the hounding again...
