Do You Need Fingerprinting for an ACRO Police Certificate?

A standard ACRO Police Certificate application does not normally require you to submit fingerprints. The application is completed online and requires information such as your personal details, recent passport-style photograph, colour copies of your passport or travel document, 10-year address history and relevant conviction or prosecution information.

However, your wider immigration, employment or overseas application may require fingerprinting as a separate background-check or identity-verification requirement. If you need both an ACRO Police Certificate and international fingerprinting, Globeia can coordinate the additional fingerprinting service alongside your certificate request.

What Does an ACRO Police Certificate Show?

An ACRO Police Certificate provides information about your UK police record based on the information held by the relevant UK systems. Depending on your circumstances, the certificate may include your personal details, photograph, applicable convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings, as well as certain impending prosecutions or offences under investigation.

ACRO applies its step-down model when determining what information is disclosed on a Police Certificate. If overseas authorities have shared relevant criminal-record information with the UK, this may also appear where applicable.

The information shown depends on your individual record and ACRO's disclosure rules. A Police Certificate should not be treated as a general “certificate of good character” or good conduct document.

Using Your ACRO Police Certificate Overseas

An ACRO Police Certificate is issued for specific overseas purposes, but obtaining the certificate may only be one part of your document requirements. Depending on the country and organisation requesting it, you may also need apostille or legalisation, certified translation, international delivery, or separate fingerprinting.

Globeia helps coordinate these additional services alongside your ACRO Police Certificate, so you can manage the requirements through one digital platform rather than arranging each service separately. If your destination authority specifies additional authentication or document requirements, Globeia can help coordinate the relevant service based on those requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions About ACRO Police Certificates

What is an ACRO Police Certificate?

An ACRO Police Certificate is an official document issued by ACRO that provides information about an individual's UK police record for certain overseas purposes. It may be requested for immigration, residency, citizenship, employment, visas, or other international applications. Globeia can help coordinate the application and any additional document services you may need.

How do I apply for an ACRO Police Certificate?

The ACRO Police Certificate application is completed online. You will need to provide personal information, a recent passport-style photograph, identification documents, your 10-year address history, and other information requested by ACRO. Globeia can provide application and document guidance and help you coordinate additional services around your certificate.

How long does an ACRO Police Certificate take?

ACRO currently advises applicants to allow up to 30 working days for a correctly completed application after it is received. This does not include dispatch or delivery time. Globeia can help coordinate delivery and additional services while keeping you updated on the status of your Globeia service.

How much does an ACRO Police Certificate cost?

The current ACRO fee is £70 for one Police Certificate. Additional copies may be available for an additional fee. If you use Globeia for supporting services such as document coordination, international delivery, apostille, legalisation, or certified translation, those services may have separate charges.

Can I get an ACRO Police Check from outside the UK?

Yes. You can apply for an ACRO Police Certificate even when you are living outside the UK, provided you meet ACRO's application requirements. Globeia can support applicants internationally and coordinate services such as international delivery, apostille, legalisation, translation, or fingerprinting where separately required.

Do I need fingerprints for an ACRO Police Certificate?

A standard ACRO Police Certificate application does not require fingerprint submission. However, your wider immigration, employment, licensing, or overseas background-check application may separately require fingerprinting. Globeia can arrange international fingerprinting when it is specifically required for your wider application.

Can I get my ACRO Police Certificate apostilled?

An ACRO Police Certificate may need an apostille if the receiving authority or country requires legalisation of the document. ACRO itself does not provide apostille services. Globeia can coordinate the apostille process through the relevant UK authority when required for your destination.

Can Globeia help with ACRO Police Certificate delivery?

Yes. Globeia can coordinate delivery of your certificate based on your location and selected service. International courier delivery can also be arranged where available, with additional charges depending on the destination and delivery option selected.

Can I track my ACRO Police Certificate service with Globeia?

Globeia provides a digital service experience that allows you to follow the status of your request and supporting services through the available tracking tools. This gives you greater visibility over what has been completed and what steps remain, without having to coordinate multiple providers yourself.

How long is an ACRO Police Certificate valid?

There is no single fixed validity period set for every situation. The organisation or immigration authority requesting your certificate determines how recent it needs to be. Globeia recommends checking the requirements of the relevant embassy, immigration authority, employer, or other requesting organisation before applying.
