Criminal records check

A criminal records check is an official document confirming an individual’s criminal record status in the UK. These documents are commonly required for visa applications, overseas employment, immigration, residency, and international licensing purposes.

Our next working day UK apostille service provides official legalisation of criminal records checks through the FCDO apostille UK process, ensuring full international recognition.
