About this translation

In the United Kingdom, two documents are commonly used as proof of a criminal record. The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) basic certificate shows unspent convictions and conditional cautions. The police certificate issued by ACRO Criminal Records Office is intended for use abroad and states whether any information is held on the Police National Computer.
