19 Feb Changes to Access Northern Ireland (AccessNI)
| From Thursday 1 October 2015 all SIA licence applicants who are resident or have previously lived in Northern Ireland will need to request a criminal record check directly from Access Northern Ireland (AccessNI). This follows changes to AccessNI’s processes.
To request a criminal record disclosure, you will need to register and complete an application through AccessNI’s online account. We will write to you informing you when you need to do this and provide you with a link to the online account. Please ensure you fill in your full name (including any middle names) and you only apply for a standard disclosure. Failure to do these may lead to a delay in your licence application. AccessNI will provide you with your criminal record check and also send a copy to us. This process applies to anyone who currently lives, or has lived in Northern Ireland, or the Republic of Ireland, in the last five years. |
