Police Certificate

Hi all

Can anybody tell me what a police certificate should look like. Dave's just arrived - typically 2 days after he left.

All I've received is a letter from New Scotland Yard stating that

'no information is held about you in the Person Record category of the Police National Computer'

and at the bottom underlined is 'This document does not constitute a Certificate of Good Character'.

I thought the whole point was that it is supposed to be a certificate of good character. Have we received the wrong thing or is this it Confused

. He doesn't need it for a work permit, but we will need it for LTBV.

Help. Sandra

It costs £10.00 and they state it could take up to 42 days. Ours took 22 days!

Hi Tanya

Thanks for putting my mind at rest. Nice One

I think I expected something that looked a little more official.

Dave's took just about a month.

Many thanks.....Tanya and Sandra.

I obtained two forms from the police station yesterday and am just about to fill them in. I don't think I've got any skeletons in my closet...... fingers crossed

Craig,

let's be honest, the police probably wouldn't find them if there were, given recent evidence!

How long are the police reports valid for?

And is it 3 months for medicals? If offered a job whilst in NZ can the medicals be done there or must they be done in country of origin?

Moorf,

Police reports are valid for 6 months, and 3 months for the medicals & x-rays, and yes, you can have the medicals done in NZ.

Just to give an idea of times scales. The official timescle is upto 40 days. We recently applied and my wife received hers within 10 days and mine took 5 days longer.

Just something I found when I was browsing the NZIS site re police checks:

http://www.immigration.govt.nz/NR/rdonlyres/5B3B50D2-70DB-4E92-A50D-7E7AF2D0AAC9/0/nzis1011.pdf

It basically says:

You are legally entitled to gain access to information about
yourself under section 21 of the Data Protection Act 1998. You
need to request a Person Record: Prosecution/Criminal History.
Enquiries can be directed through your local police station to:

National Identification Service
Rm 1229
Metro Police Service
London SW1 H0BG

Note: If you are resident, or have been previously resident, in
Scotland, ask your local police station for a Scottish Criminal
Record Office subject access request. A Scottish Police Clearance
constitutes a Clearance for Scotland only, unless the Clearance
states that the ‘Police national computer’ has been accessed, in
which case the Clearance will constitute a Police Clearance for
the whole of the United Kingdom.
A fee is payable.

Hope this helps someone!

hi all

i've just sent off my request for information via my local police station (form 3019B i think it was) so i guess i'll eventually receive a letter like this. has anyone had any comeback from submitting their application with a letter like this from the police national computer? did it turn out to be sufficient?

cheers,
matt

I'd still like to know how Michael Barrymore got his Police Check through???

Money talks... Nutcase

Quite simple really. despite all the evidence, he remains un-convicted. So he has no record.
What gets my back up is the fact that he has never apologised to the family of the man concerned. Whether he was guilty or not, it happened in his home.
On a brighter note, at least Gary Glitter got jailed for his crimes, so no chance of him going to NZ.
