Criminal records check

[Fried_Rice]

Does anyone know what we are meant to do about criminal records check when we're international?

I have offers that are conditional on 'providing a satisfactory enhanced disclosure document from the Criminal Recods Bureau'.

I'm thinking WHAT??? Do they seriously want a criminal record check on me from the UK? I have never lived there so obviously i cant have a record... Or do they mean that I should go and somehow try to find a corresponding document from here and in all other places I've lived.

Ah, the confusion.

Hi!

U have to go to the police in the country ur living (or maybe the ministry of Justice... its different depending on the country) and get a certificate of good conduct.... your uni should tell u specifically what u need and should know where to get it from.
When i got my offer my uni sent me a sheet with all the countries and where to get the certificate from... i could try looking for it if u tell me where u r living....
However it is probably quicker and easier if u call the uni or send them an email as I am sure they know what u need.

Thanks!!! I emailed them already yesterday so will have to wait and see what they say.

That's one mystery solved.
