Police Certificate Question

[featherB 1]

My police certificate arrived today (35 days after I sent off the form), and I just wanted to make extra sure that it is the right kind - hopefully someone who's been through the whole thing already can confirm for me! (Please) The reason why I'm wondering is that on the Embassy's website it says that the certificate should include details of 'all arrests' and 'the reason for the arrest(s)'. The one I have just shows that no records are held on the national computer of any 'prosecution/conviction' in relation to me... but no mention of arrests on there at all. Not that I've ever been arrested, but the certificate doesn't show that... can anyone confirm that this is what theirs was like too?

If you have never been arrested you wont have anything on there. Sounds like the correct form. If you copy it you will see Fraud on your copy, don't let it scare you lol.

Well, if you've had no arrests there won't be anything listed there...

Seriously though, mine just said "there is no information about you in the Personal Record category of the Police National Computer".

P.S. Bethanie, when I copied mine and the FRAUD thing appeared I was like "How did they know I've copied it!!!?". It took me a few minutes to work out how they did that....

Wow, that was quick - thanks, both!

And I know it sounds silly - was just thinking that if it didn't specifically say I haven't been arrested at any point, they might think I'm no stranger to spending the night in the cells, or something - was worrying that the 'prosecution/conviction' bit should have 'arrest' on there too! But anyway, that's put my mind at rest, just wanted to make sure... thank you again!
