I note that in the UK we can apply for a basic DBS certificate on our own behalf. We cannot apply for enhanced. I wonder what they will require?
Answer summary
In the UK, individuals can apply for a basic DBS certificate on their own but need to obtain an ACRO police check for enhanced checks. The ACRO police check costs £70 and the process can take over six weeks due to delays. It's advisable to apply for the record check in advance of the visa application to ensure timely receipt.

Does anyone know long before you apply for the visa can you get the record check? Just to avoid waiting as someone has said it can take 6 weeks for the check to come back
