UK Criminal Record Check

[swebb]

HI everyone,
I was wondering if I could get some help. I did my masters in Wales and I need to get my criminal record check done for the UK. I can't find where I have to go for that. I have found the opposite, if I was a UK citizen needing one for Canada.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Try this: http://www.acro.police.uk/police_certificates.aspx

If it's not what you're looking for, I would suggest sending the same organization an email outlining your situaion. Reading the site, it looks like that's a service they provide.

I also did a Masters in Wales, and also needed a UK police check, funnily enough. Cardiff University was it?  ;D

Use the ACRO form for "immigrants", the CF accepts that. I had a similar question due to the wording on the form, and went in to the recruiting office to ask about it. Even though it says its for immigration purposes it still works.

Anyway, I'm just going to warn you, the background check can take a while. I started the application process about 10 months ago, and I'm still waiting for the security check (been done everything else and waiting for it exclusively for the past several months).
