CRIMINAL RECORD FROM POLAND

[A&R&Jacob 0]

hello All,

Just need a bit of advice about obtaining criminal record clearance from Poland. I've been living in the UK for the past 5 years but I believe apart from the criminal check in the UK i'll also need one from Poland. Can anyone please let me know how to go about getting one. My question specifically- where/how should i ask for it? do i have to be there (in Poland) or can someone else pick it up? does it expire?

Many thanks for your help!

Police Record

Available.

If the Applicant is in Poland

Application should be made directly to the National Criminal Register (Krajowy Rejestr Karny), ul. Czerniakowska 100, 00-454 Warszawa. Applicant should furnish full name, any previously used (i.e. maiden) name, date and place of birth, nationality, personal identification number (PESEL) if applicable, full names of parents, and applicants current address. It usually takes up to two weeks for the Ministry of Justice to process good conduct certificate requests, although an applicant who appears personally at the Ministry can often obtain a certificate the same day.

If the Applicant is in the United States

Application should be sent to one of the four Polish diplomatic missions in the U.S.: Washington, New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles. Applications may also be sent directly from overseas to the Ministry of Justice address listed above.

If the Applicant is in a Third Country

Application should be sent to the Polish Embassy in that country, or may be mailed directly to the Ministry of Justice address listed above.
