does it cost you to find out if you still have a criminal record ? if so how much in the UK?

Answer 1

I believe it's £10. You will need proof of your identity before accessing the records

Answer 2

The £10 record check is true, but will not reveal all. A full disclosure is called a CRB check, available from the Criminal Records Bureau. This is, however, only available to government agencies on request, and normally only obtained for work with vulnerable individuals or sensitive areas (defence). If you have committed a minor offence like pot smoking, or burglary this will tend to be overlooked if it is more than three years ago. Police reprimands or cautions, remanding into custody or questioning are not recorded on disclosure forms.

Answer 3

Save your £10. Go to your local library, or look up on the web Rehabilitation of Offenders Act, then look in Schedule 1.
This Act says that when the conviction is 'spent', then you do not have to declare it on, say a job application form - but see below.
It all depends on the offence and the sentence. Imprisonment usually is spent after 5 years or less; a lesser punishment is spent much sooner.
But be careful. If you apply for a job as, say, a school teacher, but have previous for violence or a sex offence, then the RofO Act does not apply. Be careful to look up the exceptions.

But any conviction is never spent as far as the police or courts are concerned. It's just that they take no notice of it after a reasonable length of time.
Hope this hopes.

(On a lighter note, an applicant for a job, when asked if he had a Police record replied "Yes - Walking On The Moon!)

Answer 4

In the UK after 10 years you do not need to disclose any criminal record to any one.
It is regarded as 'spent'
If you apply for a USA visitors visa then you need to disclose all criminal record no matter how far back they stretch.
To obtain your records you need to fill in a form and hand over £10 at your local police station or headquarters.

Answer 5

Your can request a Subject Access Form (maybe referred to as a Police Certificate) from the Front Counter Staff at your local nick. You are entitled to see what information is held on the Police National Computer about you through the Freedom of Information Act. The certificate will be sent to you within six weeks but it will cost you the princely sum of ten quid.

Answer 6

No. Once you have a criminal record, you have it for life. You already know you have a record, live with it.

Answer 7

in the uk i do not know but in the us it is ten dollars

Answer 8

I though t once you had one you always have one, for ever, it does not go away
