Subject Access Record ?

[kimmie 2]

Hi everyone! While waiting for the NOA2, figured we'd get a jump start on the paperwork needed for the next step. We have found the application for the police certificate, which is no problem, but as it will come back with "no live trace" on it, we found the application to get the subject access record, but the form specifically says not to use it for purposes of emigration or visas and sends us back to the original police certificate application. Yikes! Does anyone have any experience with getting the subject access record? I didn't see anything in the other threads beyond the certificate itself.

Thanks so much!! :-)

Hi Kimmie,

I have never heard of anyone needing a subject access record. I thought if you have a "spent conviction" and it doesn't show up on your ACPO, then you would just get an MOC from the court who convicted you. It may or may not be available depending on how old the conviction is. If he has no arrest history then you just send ACPO...as far as I understood it anyway.

Great - thank you so much! I think we were making it more confusing than it needed to be.
