Police Certificates

[TimsDaisy 0]

my fiance yesterday on the phone: "What letter of receipt?"

Uh-oh!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Thanks for clearing that up CR-1 is not a K-1 *whew* I feel better now

And TimsDaisy..yeah he's still never gotten a letter of receipt. He's assuming that the receipt he got handed in the police station (as he applied in person) will be record enough. Long about the 25th of this month is our 40 day mark!!

I had a receipt handed to me in the Police station, I also got another through the post though. The one in the police station was dated March 22nd, the one in the post was dated March 30th. From walking into the police station and receiving the actual official document was 39 days.

Dawn.

I don't know if this helps anyone, but I applied twice for my police certificate through two different police forces, just in case one lost my application or something. I applied through the Metropolitan Police because you can no matter where you live, and through Cheshire Police force because that's where I actually live. Both cost me £10 and in the end they came through within a day of each other.

Just a thought...

Just in case anyone reads this and was as worried as I was...He got a receipt handed to him in the police station when he ordered his Certificates..he never got another word in the mail and finally at about the 30 day mark, he got his police certs in the mail!!

There is always hope

I applied for my police certificate with my local heddlu (Welsh police) and after 50 days and no letter I rang them to ask where it was. They told it had been sent a few weeks ago, but as I hadn't received it they'd send me a replacement.

Typically of course after getting home I found the original, buried under a pile of my housemate's junk. So it had actually only taken 30 days to come through, but had lain hidden for another 20!

I sent mine off on the 9th May and got a letter of receipt on the 11th. So its been about 19 days since the application was accepted.

I swear we're past the 40 day mark since the receipt date without getting Dan's cert. He thinks not, but hasn't checked the date to be sure yet. I know it was mid-April when he sent for it (again because the first form they gave him to fill out was wrong).

Yeah, Marlon sent his out towards the end of April and nothing yet. Of course the Jamaican mail system takes forever!

We still don't have ours either. I know he applied for it at least 4 weeks ago and he go the receipt when we were in Canada, so that was, let's see, 2 weeks ago. All that adds up to . . . shrug, dunno when it will turn up! Soon, I hope, since we're awaiting packet 4!

I think I feel some fiance-nagging coming on!

Well, it's 40 days from the receipt date, he's had that for two weeks, I'd say you could have another 3 weeks or so until your 40 days are up.

Yeah, there's time left on the clock for sure. I don't really think we'll hit a problem, and there isn't much to do at this point since he did put in the request in ample time (the receipt was slower in coming than we had expected. . . . .).

Still waiting on ours as well. SO gone to visit relatives and hopefully it will be there when he returns.

Wow. Reading all of this makes me glad Stephen ordered his Police Certificate before our NOA2 has even arrived. If they're good for a year, as someone mentioned in an earlier post on this thread, it makes sense to just go ahead and order it after you've received your first NOA.

Oh you bet! We ordered ours a month ago - he checked the dates; supposed to call if we don't have it by June 5 - and just got our NOA2 yesterday. It definitely SHOULD be in hand long before he starts worrying about the interview. I think that was some of the best I got on here - ordering early!
