To provide evidence that you do not have an adverse criminal record you may be asked to provide an apostille on a criminal record check document.

When applying for a job or a working visa in another country you may need to prove you do not have a criminal record that would affect your application. In the UK you can obtain a criminal record background check from the police or other agencies. If you search online you will find many websites offering background checks.

The most common documents we see are-

• NPCC
• ACPO
• ACRO
• Disclosure and Baring Service (DBS) 
• Basic Disclosure
• Enhanced Disclosure
• Disclosure Scotland
• Police Letters

If your criminal record check needs solicitor certification we can do this certification for you. Most basic disclosures, enhanced disclosures and disclosure Scotland certificates need to be correctly signed by a UK solicitor or notary.

Criminal record background checks may also be referred to as a CRB check or DBS check. We can legalise all background check documents that have been issued in the UK.

Most criminal record checks are legalised with the apostille certificate in just 24 hours. To order your apostille please visit our ordering page.
