Hello everyone,

This may have already been addressed but Id like to know how long a UK police record is valid for and whether or not I need to apply for another one.

I applied for a record and received it on the 28th of September 07.We filed at the end of October 07.Still waiting for the NOA2 which isnt too far away now.(cross fingers).So is my certificate valid anymore?.. :huh:

Cheers!.

Grae.

Sorry to be pain...

,I lived in London for a period of less than 6 months.Does that require a certificate as well?.

And if so, does anyone have a link to the Met police website where I can apply for one?.

Police certs tend to be valid for 1 year after issue. Though you were way ahead of the curve, most apply for them after getting NOA2.

The police cert is a national one, so if you have lived in UK for more than a year you will need just the national police cert.

Australian police certificate? I can't seem to post my own new topic. Boo. This seems the closest I can get...

OK, here goes. I think I may need a police certificate from Austalia. I lived there for 6 months and 10days. I have found out how to get one, it will take about a month. I need to travel 1.5 hours to london, to find an austalian money order, then send off for it. I got packet 3 today. In packet 3, the information is different to what it says on the website. i.e on the embassy website, and on the very expensive phone line, it says I need the Oz certificate. In packet 3, it says I need a certificate for anywhere I have lived for more than one year...

I am thinking I will send off packet 3 today, and also the OZ certificate, get an interview in about a month, and receive the OZ certificate a week later. Hopefully, they won't ask for the OZ certificate, and if they do, I'll refer to the packet 3 instructions, and tell them they'll have it in a week, and then just have to wait a bit longer for the visa. I don't plan to emmigrate till April. Does this sound ok? I don't want to wait for the OZ certificate to come, because I have to go to the states in April for a wedding, and I don't want to come back. My own wedding is in May, and I want to be there to finish planning it, and get the house ready for 30 British guests!

I have read on another thread here that that is alright, and that they will just approve the visa pending receipt of the certificate.

02/13/08 Packet 4 received from London Embassy

03/03/08 Embassy Interview
