General Police Check Requirements/UK Police Checks

[Nahuel]

I have no idea about the UK one, but you can make your appointment for the arg police record here:

I always choose Piedras becuase there are less people than in the other places.

I have gone for the Subject Access process, but I am in the unfortunate (or foolish) position of having a drink-driving conviction dating back to 2004.

Under UK law this is now statute-barred, or expired. In Argentina also the equivalent offence expires after five years.

However, the Subject Access information being basically a dump of everything that is on the computer does not distinguish ....

anyone had any experience of this?

Or indeed whether a drink-driving offence is a bar to residency, expired or not?

Appreciate any help ....

Any type of record after ten years here is technically not important, so long as you have not been to prison.
Any offence that might raise an eyebrow means you paperwork will go to a 'social worker' type person. You'll get a random house visit, and if you appear to be legit, no problem. It only lengthens the process.
Send me a PM if you need more info.
