police checks
 

Looking through threads on police checks and a few mention going to police station and getting form from there, for £10, I contacted our local one but they gave me a web address where you download the form, needs passport photo and £35 each. I have a CRB through being a cub scout leader but its now 8 months old so can't use that. What did everyone else do? Would be interested to find out.

Cheers Chris

Hi,
I also have a CRB which is current but thats not what they'e after. I went to our local police station with passport and proof of address. Paid my £10 and they sent it off to the regional head office. Took about 3 weeks to come back.

Think I may have found it Form 135 -'your subject access rights' this says its only £10, so must be the one?

Yes - most forces call it something different. If you click on the wilts link in the last post its got another printable link on and thats the one.

People say that buying a home is one of the most stressful things you go through but it's nothing compared to this! :)

Yeah ,most of us are wanting to emigrate in order to have a more relaxed lifestyle yet we put ourselves through this in order to get it! Funny eh! perhaps thats why all ex-pats are so chilled out?

Hi guys bit confused by all this. Does this mean you DON'T have to use the quick check you down load from site , you can still go down to your local station and do it for £10? Certainly not how the official Police site is putting it....or is that just me?:confused:

Re: police checks
 

Hi,i just got my police check certificate back today.....:thumbsup:.
I went on to a website,the Association of chief police officers,down loaded the form ,got someone to sign the photos of me,and sent it off with the £35 .
It took about three weeks to come back....

Cheers squiddley, but it appears from the other posters that if you go to your local station you only pay £10 ? So is it a case of either or?
