Hi all, would I need to provide NZ police certificate while waiting residence visa under SMC and will be staying in NZ more than 12 months ?

I arrived in NZ on February 2014 so currently living only 9 months but want to prepare ahead if I will need to provide NZ police certificate for the visa.

*when submitted the ITA, I did not submit NZ police certificate as it was staying in NZ less than a year .
