police report

Just wondering how long it normally takes to get anything back on the post?and should I received any kind of email notification that they got my package? I sent it away almost two weeks ago and have yet to hear anything

Hope this timeline helps.

Mailed forms: 11/05/2013

Received phone call from ACPO regarding missing page: 23/05/2013

Mailed missing page: 24/05/2013

Received email from ACPO on 28/05/2013: will now process application received on 13/05/2013 in accordance with the published guidelines.

I mailed mine off exactly a week ago and haven't heard a squeak either, and my cheque hasn't been cashed yet!

I'll join the club too! Sent mine May 17th and no email or sign of cheque being cashed yet.

To be honest knowing others are in the same position makes me panic less about it being lost/stolen/set on fire

I contacted them because I was worried and this is what I got as a response a couple days later:

"...

Having mailed the application form on 23/04/13, we would expect it to have arrived here in the building. Your information has not been put onto the database as yet, but that is not unusual. The applications are date stamped when they arrive in the building and that is when the clock starts ticking for the 10 working days processing.

When your application is logged onto the system, you should receive an email informing you when it was received and the process is ongoing in accordance with our published guidelines.

..."

So they take their time with this.

Thanks for the update, I'm glad I sent of for mine so early in the process now!

they emailed me today to confirm they received my application ten days ago(20 th May).so I guess the process of them dealing with it will start from now? So don't worry too much if you only sent it off a week ago.you should hear something soon

Ditto! I was just coming on here to write the exact same thing. Picked up a mail when I got in tonight saying they received it on the 20th and it'll now be dealt with, blah blah.

Someone told me before that it takes quite a while. A friend of mine who had to apply for one did the Premium Service and had to wait 2.5 weeks as well for her police certificate to come back to her. She was so upset.

Could you keep us posted of when your cheque gets cashed/you hear something, as I'm about a week behind you on this step. Thanks! (This whole process really teaches you what patience is huh!....)
