Police Certificate

[Shabz 0]

I just calld NVC today and received my Case number. I had a question about Police Certificates. My fiance has lived in Saudi all his life, but he went to the UK to study there. He didnt live there permently but he had to stay there to study. That was in 2004. Does that mean he needs a Police Clearance Leter from Uk as well? He is in Jeddah right now, how can he receive the Police Clearance Letter from UK?

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

How long do PCL take?

If he lived there for more than 6 months, he would have to get a police cert. He needs to contact the embassy of UK in Jeddah and follow their process for obtaining a police cert. (I'm new so I'm 98% sure my advice is correct.)

My fiance lived in Pakistan but he is in Kenya now and we had to contact the Embassy of pakistan in Kenya. We filled a form, they sent it to pakitan and it took a month to get clearance. However the police cert is only valid for 3 months from pakistan (not sure about UK). So, becareful about the validation period.

Good luck!!

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 Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) Criminal Records Office. Applicants will find further guidance and application forms at the following website: http://www.acpo.police.uk/certificates.asp

Consular officers who received “No Live Trace” results for an applicant should contact London’s Fraud Prevention Manager for further information. The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 enables some criminal convictions to become 'spent', or ignored, after a set length of time from the date of conviction. After this period, with certain exceptions, an ex-offender is not normally obliged to mention their conviction when applying for a job or obtaining insurance, or when involved in criminal or civil proceedings. The “No Live Trace” indicates that information may be available relating to a ‘spent’ conviction. “No Trace” indicates a clean police record.

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