Default Police clearance for the UK from SA

Good day, hopefully someone will be able to advise me on how to get a police clearance for the UK applying from SA. I have lived here for 5 years on TR but now applying for PR. I looked at the forms on the Acro website but I can't provide info they asking for such as current residential address in the UK etc. Do they not provide forms for overseas applications? Thanks so much in advance for any help!

Your address doesn't have to be in the UK, you just need proof of it, wherever it is.

1. Proofs of your current address - You must upload TWO different proofs of address which clearly show your name and address, and one must be dated within the last six months. Your proofs must be in separate files. Valid proofs of address include bank statements, utility bills or phone bills. You can also provide letters from your doctor, dentist, school or college if they are signed and dated on company headed paper.

Thanks so much for your reply. This is where I will find it difficult as having been in SA on TR (life partner) I don't have any bills in my name as not allowed to work. The only thing that I could get would be a doctors letter. What would you now suggest, I'm starting to worry now. All the docs required are straight forward. Thanks so much.

Do you not have any bank statements?

No, because I only have TR and so couldn't open an account. Everything is in LP's name!
