What do you mean by "Both"? Only need police cert for the immigrating person.

thanks alot...

just one more question do I need the the 35 pound one from the ACPO or the 10 pound statement from the local police station...

"In order to obtain the required statement, you should apply to your local police station, where you will be given the application forms. When completing the application form, the applicable category is "prosecution/conviction history". There is a fee of £10 sterling."

I believe the ACPO is replacing the "police certificate" since last month, so you would need only the ACPO More expensive but quicker to get

Yes, this is correct, I was one of the last to get the £10 certificate during the transition. The price may have increased, but at least now you are guaranteed to get the certificate within 10 working days, rather than 40 days.

You can get the form here : http://www.acpo.police.uk/certificates.asp
