because i have lived in so many houses/flats, as been a student etc. i
am struggling to remember all addressess, will this casue a problem?
also i dont think i have been registered at all my addresses, will this
matter? i ask this in relation to both UK and OZ police checks
cheers

Hi Threlly

Well as far as uk ones go just put roughly
where and when you lived. If you weren't registered where you lived
then there will be no trace of you, so wouldn't bother going through
all the hassle

hi walla1,
what do u mean dont bother going through all the hassle? do u
mean leave these addresses out? if so, i have had so many addresses and
havent got a clue where i was/wasn't registered, will this be a problem?
shall i just put down all my addresses and rough dates and leave it at
that, i have no criminal record , so it shouldn't be a problem should
it?
thanks for help walla 1
cheers

Hi Threlly

I would especially if you can't remember them. I think if
one has a criminal record it would be easily traceable through name and
date of birth, I think? You just want to hope nobody has the same name
and DOB as you especially if they are a criminal!!! Just jesting!!

As
mentioned before if you are not registered at an address then there is
no trace of you anyway, by any body of authority.

Basically I would
only put the addresses you were registered at, that's if you can
remember them!! Oh happy student days!!

As re your previous post one
check covers all ie local police send to Scotland Yard as someone has
said.

Hope this helps

The main reason for asking for
addresses is for elimination of confirmation of records. If they turn up
a record with a name similar to yours, and with a similar date of birth,
the next thing to look at is the address, to see if it matches the
address on arrest, or is even in the same area.
Put what you can
remember, or something like "numerous student pads, can't remember them
all".
If they need more details for elimination they'll come back to
you, though that is very unlikely!

Just do the best you can. If you have
any further queires just chat to the relevant person at your local
constabulary... i was in a similar position and was surprised how
helpful they were

I lived in 4 different addresses for the 4
years I was at uni. I must admit I think I only put two of them down as
I simply couldn't remember the others!! Plus the fact, that the only
time I had anything to do with the police (a break-in on my car & a
friend of mine got hit with fireworks - I went to Bradford whilst the
riots were on, nice place :confused: ) I gave my parents address as my
official address anyway!

Threlly

thanks for that reply. my main worry i suppose is that because i have
had so many addresses, especially as a student, i never really
registered at these addresses. anyway the police check as gone now, so
its too late now.

Don't worry, the UK police do not check whether you acually lived at
those addresses, got on the voters list there, paid the bills there or
anything. They aren't interested, and they have too many of these
requests to process! They will only start investigating addresses if
they are "interested" in you for another reason - elimination, as I've
already said - unsolved crimes they suspect you of, that kind of thing.

Believe me, I know, I've done the job!!!

Could anyone tell me for the police check if you have lived in another
country for 364 days whether you have to get a police check for this
too. I have lived in both France and Australia for just under a year at
some point or another over the last 10 years.

Thanks,
Charlotte
