I am sure that those of you who need a UK Police Clearance Certificate have discovered that you can now apply online (https://www.acro.police.uk/Police_Ce...es_Online.aspx). This is a great improvement, especially for those of you no longer n the UK who are in a bit if a hurry. However, just a word of caution! A client very recently applied online, paid the extra for the fast-track service and even extra to have the certificate couriered to New Zealand. 11 days after the application was made, she received an email to say that the scans were not of a high enough quality and she needed to send new ones. (Bit of a worry as her current visa expires in the next couple of days!). I must say ACRO dealt with this very promptly and I believe they are now changing the system. So, my advice to anyone applying online is to check your scanned images carefully before uploading them to make sure they are not blurred and are easily readable.
