police cert £35??? thought it was a tenner?!
erm.... i've read lots on here people talking about police certs for £10, yet i've just followed the link on NZIS website to ACPO and they say £35...
i'm confused (no change there then!)
my enhanced CRB check is just being completed at work (they don't know i'm leaving yet!) will this do?!
thanks all!

I went to our local cop shop & asked them for the appropriate form to fill in, sent it off & cost a tenner but that was 4 yrs ago now, maybe it's inflation or to aid the police party fund

We paid £35 each as well, but people who have gone to their local cop shop only paid £10 and i think if your CRB is current that is do. If you submit your CRB and immigration come back to you saying not good enough, then quickly go and get a £35 one done, ours came back within 10 days.
Good luck

Check on your local police force site for prices.
I've just checked our old forces site, ( Northants) and it's still £10.

A CRB check has never been acceptable for immigration purposes.

ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers) are currently trialling a scheme for immigration purposes, a new and quicker(?!) way of getting police certificates and they cost £35.... the old way is no longer.....

Hi,
we have just had our Police certs done and it was £35 each and we had them back in 10 days - mind you they squash the photo down on the certificate and I look like a munchkin - nice!!!
Just the medicals to go!

Hi all ,
took out ITA down to NZ House yesterday ( 9th ) with the £10 police checks , they are still accepting them at the moment - may just save you a few quid !!

The £10 ones aren't done locally, they are sent to Scotland Yard for processing via your local force. This check will show up any cautions or convictions showing on PNC. I believe this is what NZIS are interested in.

You will need the ACPO check. The old £10 checks done through the local Forces are not used for immigration to certain countries now, NZ included, though they still exist as the are used for thousands of other purposes.

We went online to our local police force, downloaded the form, filled it in and took to the police station in our town with our ID and it cost £10, and immigration accepted it no problems.

The above link is for the form issued by Norfolk Police, your local force should have a similar form.

Whether a tenner or 35 quid - pay up and move on. When you get your "We'll let you live here" letter, they'll sting you for another $300 as a "migrants levy". And that's in addition to the $700 they lift off you for processing your paperwork....get used to it if you're coming here! ;-)

Also, by the time our ITA has been submitted we are all aware of the costs involved.
