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. Ordering a UK Police Check has never been easier than with CVCheck. We’ve streamlined the process so you can receive your clearance certificate 100% online and on demand, bypassing unnecessary 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.
A UK Police Check from CVCheck may only be used for employment purposes.

* All turnaround times are estimated working times for Australian checks and are provided as a guide only. Turnaround times are based on our experience of the time taken for the majority of these checks to be delivered. However, CVCheck is reliant on third parties for supply of information, and in some cases those third parties may take longer to supply that information. Accordingly, CVCheck does not give any time guarantees for any checks or packages. It is CVCheck’s policy and practice to keep you informed as much as possible if there are any unusual delays.
