Police Checks

Martyn Steiner 18 Sep 2009 12:26

I need a police check from Japan for a job back here in the UK, and have been told that I have to go through a two-month process involving two 3-hour trips to London in order to get it.

Anyone know of a quicker solution? I only need the most basic of checks...

Hi Martyn,

I had to get police checks last year too.

I had to go to the Japanese embassy in London to get a fingerprint form, then go to Scotland Yard to get my fingerprints done, then go back to the embassy to submit my fingerprints.

I had to wait about 2-3 months to get my police certificate from Japan.

It's a pain but relatively straighforward process!!
