help with foriegner getting police report from UK

[J&M 0]

If anyone has any info about gettting a police report from the UK by a foreign citizen(Romania) who lived there for a 2 year span I would greatly appreciate it. My fiancee needs to obtain one for her K1 interview. I'm familiar with the subject access request form(164) but having trouble finding the requirements for a non resident of the UK. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

Police Records

Available. Immigrant visa applicants who have resided in the United Kingdom for six months or more since the age of sixteen are required to obtain a statement from the National Identification Service, Subject Access Office, Room 331, New Scotland Yard, Broadway, London SW1 OBG.

This statement will serve to advise the consular office whether or not any criminal conviction is held against the applicant. The National Identification Service does not accept applications from individual applicants; the request must be made through local police. By law, it can take up to 40 days to receive a response. The fee for this service is 10 British Pounds Sterling.

Persons resident outside the United Kingdom should write to the Data Processing Officer of the police authority where they last resided in the United Kingdom to obtain the appropriate application form. Residents of the United Kingdom should apply to their local police station where they may obtain the application form. When completing the application form, the applicable category is “Prosecution/Conviction History”. The local police (or data protection officer), will submit the application to the National Identification Service and the response to the application will be sent directly to the applicant.

Applicants are legally entitled to gain access to the information about themselves under Section 7 of the British Data Protection Act, 1998.

I am not sure if there is a non-resident section, but my husband lived in the UK for 10 years and had to obtain one. It was difficult as they only the payment they would accept was cash. I ended up taking the chance and sending the money to someone who then walked the application and the money over there for me. They would only issue the certificate to my husband, in Africa, and they returned all the documents that were sent with the application to him.
