Overseas Police check
Why do I need to supply an Overseas Police check?
If you have lived abroad for more than 6 months in the last 5 years, then we require an Overseas Police Check that has been professionally translated into English.
What documents can I submit?
You need to apply for your Overseas Police check certificate directly from the country you resided in.
Each country has its own application process for obtaining a certificate which is detailed on the gov.uk website.
