Police Check UK
United Kingdom Police Checks & Police Clearance Certificates (PCC)
CVCheck’s UK Criminal Verification Checks can be ordered on behalf of current UK passport holders for the purpose of obtaining a UK Police Clearance Certificate prior to employment. The clearance certificate is delivered online and on demand. We’ve streamlined the process of ordering a UK Police Check, so you can bypass post office queues and paper forms.
A comprehensive criminal record search, also known as a Basic DBS Check or Basic Disclosure Check, is conducted through the UK Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
Please note that DBS will not provide criminal record details to any person other than the candidate who is the subject of the search. This policy is intended to allow the candidate the opportunity to review and correct as required any information before it is reported to the employer. CVCheck will liaise with the candidate directly to obtain this information.
This check may only be used for employment purposes.
