Are you trying to get a police check for migration use? If so, you don't need Disclosure Scotland - they are the equivalent of the CRB. You need a proper police check under the Data Protection Act if its for immigration. I am fairly sure that the Disclosure Scotland checks cannot be used for migration because they only list UNSPENT convictions.
If you're sure its that one you want, email them at the address on the Contact Us page. If not, you need to contact the Police HQ for the part of Scotland you lived in.
PM me if you like

Re: Police Check Help !!!!
Campbells have just put a thread on, coincidentally! You need to get hold of the police HQ for the area you lived in - Strathclyde, Tayside etc and apply to them, then when you get the form - which will probably have to be by snail mail - make sure you request a check from London as well (see Campbells post).
