Criminal Record Certificate

Kalimera everyone!


I am new here and this forum has already proved invaluable, so thank you.

I initiated conversations with a lawyer about the pink slip visa a year ago and for various reasons did not follow up.


I have just re-initiated enquiries , there are 1 or 2 possible/probable niggles to resolve. I am planning to fly back to Cyprus early next week and just got off the phone to the lawyer , who , because of the bank holiday , was In a rush , very nice tho , and said to me he will re-visit my email trail and come back to me In next two days. I asked him If I needed to action anything whilst In the UK before I travel to Cyprus and he said something about a criminal record certificate.

Please could any one advise on what I need to do, who to go to, documents required etc and also can you think of anything else I need to action prior coming to Cyprus?

Many thanks and enjoy the day,

Jeff

I needed to obtain an ACRO cert and this this is where it was I ended up. h.t.t.p.s.://w.w.w.acro.police.uk/s/acro-services/police-certificates

I looked at my copies and it does not look like they were apostle. However, the immigration lawyer should give you all the details of the requirements. It is easier to get these when you are in the UK. They will send them to Cyprus but for additional costs and the post in Cyprus is not the best!

What is apostle? Is It a Cypriot stamp of some kind?

Thanks

@Walnutted hi, you need to an apostle stamp on any official uk document. We needed to get an apostle stamp for our Marriage certificate before we came to Cyprus. This will probably be needed for your Police Certificate. check out the following website for help on how to get the stamp. https://www.gov.uk/get-document-legalised

The gov web site does apostles and I used them all easy and worked very well. Much cheaper than some of the advertised services and of course reliable
