Police Check from Cyprus!?

[Leannem1992]

Hi guys,

 I am applying for a De Facto visa and have to get a police check from Cyprus as I lived there 3 out of the ten years required. I went to school there but my mum threw away our residency slips and the old passport I had when I lived there! I am super worried because I called up and they said that to obtain the police check I need to have the 'pink slips' from my time there, which I have no way of obtaining living in Australia now.. 

I have a letter from my school to say that I lived there, and I am British so presumably was living there under the EU regulations. 

Can anyone help?! Do you have any experience in the case officers wavering police checks if they can't be obtained? I lived there until age 18 and I'm now 25. 

Thank you so much in advance for any advice, 

Leanne

It may be worth you speaking to a migration agent - I'm wondering if it may be possible for you to do a stat dec or something?
