UK Police Certificate

[campervanman 0]

Hello Everyone

I have recently received my police certificate from the the UK National Identification Service. However, on reading the packet instructions it would appear that the certificate is only available by visiting your local police station and doing it through them. I can't remember exactly how I did it, except that I downloaded a form online.

I've attached a copy of my certificate here. Could someone please confirm whether or not this is the correct certificate? Preferably someone who has had their interview!

Thanks

Matt

Thank you very much! I was confused because the instructions from the Embassy reckon you're entitled to the information under the Data Protection Act 1984. After studying law, I know that this was replaced by the Data Protection Act 1998. What is it with these guys - trying to trip us up the whole time I swear!

Cheers again

Matt

Related to this, can anyone tell me if the police certificate you receive shows all the addresses you list when you request the certificate. I handed my request form into the local police station yesterday, but then realised that I missed off a temporary address for while I was at University in Wales. If I then list the Wales address on my biographic data immigration form, I'm concerned that the police certificate might show a disparity. Incidently, I have no police history anyway.

Cheers.

Chris.

I did exactly the same thing. Forgot my Uni address. I phoned up Subject Access as the woman in the police station said it would delay my report. They said dont worry about it. Its just a formality to write down the addresses!! There are no addresses listed on it apart from your present one and mine came in 32days.

Hope that helps
