Overseas Criminal Record Check

If you’ve lived outside the UK for 12 months or more (either continuously or in total) in the last 10 years, while aged 18 or over, you must provide a Criminal Record Certificate from that country.

  • Please apply for this certificate as soon as possible, as it may take time to arrive.
