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

Recently posted in a teachers forum, third party info. However, I recently attempted to get my criminal record check certified at the U.K. Embassy in Bangkok last month - they point blank refused and said that it needs to be done by a third party in the UK. This wouldn’t be enough for the MFA to certify it anyway, so if this is true it’s an impossible requirement to meet (at least with a UK document anyway).
