ACPO or local police station certificate

[Team Walsh 1]

Hey all!

I have done some reading on this subject and I am still a little confused. My fiance has ordered a police certificate (last week) from his local station and paid 10 pounds. The officer said that this was the form he needed and yadda yadda. I had seen the ACPO link and I thought that was what we were supposed to use. Assuming we will have our interview before August (I read that they will supposedly accept the old certificates up until then), and the certificate will be valid this whole time, is the local station certificate ok to use?? Should I order an ACPO too or is that just being way too ####### retentive? I really don't want to make a misstep with something that should be pretty easy. What's the consensus on this subject?? Thanks!!

I would order the ACPO cert, it covers all of the UK.

This might also help... there is also an "official" thread I made for posting info about the HPV vaccine and the new police certificate...

Hi Team Walsh,

Just to let you know. I was given the apco web address by my local police station. They said that this was the new procedure for specific countries immigration policies (Including the USA andd Australia).

I downloaded the application form. Sent it off last Saturday and received the completed Certificate this morning....Pretty Quick eh?

Best Wishes S&S x

You know when you filled out the form did you put last 5 years worth of addresses or addresses since the age of 16?

If you read the form it says 'Please provide details of your previous address(es) for the last five years'
