philipmoore88 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Has anyone applied for a 189 with a police check from Northern Ireland. Am applying from within Australia and have been asked to provide a UK police check but Northern Ireland issues its own checks which I have provided. Has anyone else been asked this or is the general UK the expected one no matter where in the UK you originally lived Thanks for any advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinkla Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 When I applied for my visa I lived in Scotland, but had lived in Northern Ireland during the previous 10 years. I just submitted an ACPO certificate. I can't remember whether I had had to tick a box to say I had lived in Northern Ireland - possibly I did - but there was no separate PSNI or RUC certificate.

mintpro Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I think i'd error on the side of caution with this one and get one just in case, I'd be annoyed if I got that far and the police cert was the one thing that delayed it since they're not that hard to get but take a while.

I contacted PSNI about getting a check for migration to Australia and they referred me ACRO. That's the only cert I submitted Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFauls Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Yeah we had this issue during the visa process but I spoke with ACRO who advised me that the Subject Access is only available for people living in England and Wales. Any record for Northern Ireland and Scotland is done through the local police force. I then spoke to the Northern Ireland Criminal Records Office Tel 02890650222 in relation to getting something like a Subject Access Disclosure. They informed me that the Access NI form (in particular the Enhanced Disclosure Certificate) is the same as the Subject Access Disclosure and they could not provide any additional information as this is all ready contained within it. I have provided the telephone number for the Criminal records in NI and the ACRO number is 0845 60 13 999 in case . OUr agent advised the CO of this and it was ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
