UK Police Report for Brazilian citizen

[Guy&Val 0]

First of all we just found this site and we wish we would have found it earlier. Luckily I am borderline OCD when it comes to checking things out before I do them and we filed our K1 with pretty much all of the knowledge that we have found here. It would have been easier coming here where all of the information is all in one place though.

Now for the question that we have.

She was living in London when we met and so she needs a police report from there for her interview. The problem is she is now back in Brazil and needs to get that paperwork. I have noticed quite a few people from the UK and was wondering how is the best way for her to get this report. We have just filed the initial K1 paperwork at the end of July so we are in the very beginning stages of this process but I want her to get all of her paperwork together now so as soon as she recieves word all she has to do is drop it in the post. Thanks for all that reply and also just to say GREAT SITE!!

Order one from New Scotland Yard.

Police Records

Available. Immigrant visa applicants who have resided in the United Kingdom for six months or more since the age of sixteen are required to obtain a statement from the National Identification Service, Subject Access Office, Room 331, New Scotland Yard, Broadway, London SW1 OBG.

This statement will serve to advise the consular office whether or not any criminal conviction is held against the applicant. The National Identification Service does not accept applications from individual applicants; the request must be made through local police. By law, it can take up to 40 days to receive a response. The fee for this service is 10 British Pounds Sterling.

Persons resident outside the United Kingdom should write to the Data Processing Officer of the police authority where they last resided in the United Kingdom to obtain the appropriate application form. Residents of the United Kingdom should apply to their local police station where they may obtain the application form. When completing the application form, the applicable category is “Prosecution/Conviction History”. The local police (or data protection officer), will submit the application to the National Identification Service and the response to the application will be sent directly to the applicant.

Applicants are legally entitled to gain access to the information about themselves under Section 7 of the British Data Protection Act, 1998.
