What is the current processing time for an Arco police check in the UK for Brits seeking recent experiences?
Hi. Here's a niche "anything else". Brits. Looking for recent experiences. How many days did it take from submission to receipt in the post, for your Arco police check in the UK? Looking for anyone who did it since they went to manual processing. They are currently quoting 20 days plus postal time. Thanks
Answer summary
Many UK residents reported varied experiences regarding the processing time for an Arco police check since the shift to manual processing. Responses indicated that the timeframes range from two weeks to as long as eight weeks, with one individual noting a six-week duration via regular post. Others mentioned a quicker alternative, the DBS check, which is less expensive and faster.
