If you are planning to Immigrate to the UK, then it’s important that before your application is processed by border agents at immigration port or airport they will ask for some documents which include proof of identity and criminal record check. These requirements are set out in detail on each country’s website so be sure not only read them but also take note if any wavers when filling out forms because there might still more information needed from yourself before processing can start.
When applying for entry clearance in the Skilled Worker route, visa applicants will be informed by their sponsor whether they need to provide a criminal record certificate. However all other routes are not currently required at this time and those already here seeking an extension of stay can use discretion when deciding which type would work best with UK law
You must provide a criminal record certificate/Police Clearance Certificate for any country (excluding the UK) where you have lived within 12 months or more, while aged 18 years old.
