Do you need a VISA?

If you are applying for emigration, visas, work permits or residency in Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the United States of America, you will need a police certificate.

You can apply for a certificate by downloading the application form from the Association for Chief Police Officers (ACPO) website.

Please note this certificate is processed entirely by the ACPO Criminal Records Office (ACRO).

For any other country, you may seek information by way of a subject access application to Lancashire Constabulary.

Email acro.policecertificates@acro.pnn.police.uk
Write to ACRO, PO Box 481. Fareham, PO14 9FS.

Please do not return your application form to Lancashire Police.
