ACRO

 

You may benefit by visiting the UK regional forum for specific London questions.   Many are already actively discussed 

YMMV

First place to check for all things for the London Embassy is the US Embassy UK where you can find this answer.

 

If you have resided in the United Kingdom for 6 months or more since the age of 16, you are required to obtain a police certificate from the ACPO Criminal Records Office (ACRO).  Further information is available from their website at www.acro.police.uk.

 

Note: UK police certificates are valid for 12 months only.  Failure to present all necessary and valid police certificates at the time of the interview will incur significant delays to your application.

 

Second place is the UK sub-forum.

Am I right in saying that being from the UK I need to get a police certificate from ACRO? :huh: You asked the question and I provided the answer. Why post a question you already have an answer to?

Yes, you need ACRO. I went to uni in Scotland, I wasn’t 100% if I needed ACRO or disclosure, so I called and was told it was definitely ACRO.
You do it online, all pretty much information you’d expect to be asked, they do ask for a photo to include on your certificate. It’s a pretty quick turnaround, I got mine delivered to Ireland within 2 weeks
