Police clearance
I gather that I go to my local Police Station and tell them that I want a police clearence for England for my partner and I.
Do I needto take any ID with me or is this needed when you send off the forms?
I am feeling a bit lost in the desert at the moment .... help!

Yes, you will need proof of ID and proof of address (I took 2 x passports and a couple of utility bills, in both my and my wife's names).
In short, take more than you think you need. The checks take long enough as it is without delaying them through lack of paperwork.
Oh, and my officer gave me the request and suggested I post it first class, since that arrives next day and his internal mail would take 2-3 days. As Paul Daniels used to say..."every second counts".

Hi Tina,
We went to our local Police station and got forms to send off to our County Police force who then send them to Scotland yard
who then keep them in a draw until you ring them up and tell them its taken far longer than the 40 days they are allowed to take over such things, then they get them out and post them to you...........

Thanks for all of your advice.
I have been given details of a site online where you can get the forms from.
Can anyone tell me if these are the correct forms?
Form 3019A
DATA PROTECTION ACT 1998
How to apply for access to information about you held on MPS computers.
and
Form 3019B
DATA pROTECTION ACT 1998
How to apply for access to information about you held on the poice national computer (PNC)
I live in the Metropolitan Police Area and always have done.
I have been advised to get them in ASAP as our agent reckons if the info is all sent off quickly, by 30th of June we might get visas by then
Thanks.
