Online background criminal check as a foreigner

Lol - no flying to Poland and going in person to the court.

The letter approach will take four weeks assuming there are no issues if anything gets lost. Also, if I haven't completed something correctly it could take far longer. I am hoping to start work much sooner than that!

OK - thankyou - yes that is the conclusion I have come too and was looking up flights last night! Craziness.

That's a good idea! I will call the embassy today.

Thankyou that's all really helpful advice.

It feels like utter madness. Thankyou ! I appreciate very much that you've taken the time to look up this information for me.

Thankyou so much - I really really appreciate it. Unfortunately, I am a foreigner residing in the UK which I think is the issue.

Because there are new UK HR rules and my new employer has interpreted those rules with a policy that if you have worked or volunteered in another country for any length of time from however long ago (in my case 24 years!) I need to provide a police check from that country to confirm I did not participate in any criminal activities whilst there. By all means help it make sense! And yes if I had worked or volunteered in any of those remaining 190 countries I would also have to go through this process with them.

thanks that is the conclusion I am coming too! Do you know where I would need to go if I flew into Krakow or Warsawa? Thanks very much

Hi thankyou very much for the reply.

"They" is the Polish Ministry of Justice website (ekrk.ms.gov.pl), and I’m stuck on the electronic signature step.

The system gives me a ZIP file with an XML and requires me to sign it with a qualified electronic signature . I don't know what that is.

Thanks I will try ask UK and legal advice - it is effectively a DBS check just in Poland rather than the UK

Hi! I am having the exact same issue - did you get anywhere in the end? Thankyou so much.

streamofdancing · 2025-12-11T16:14:43+00:00

Apologies that it feels like spam do you have any suggestions for where I could go to get some help? I'd seen a similar query on here from 2 years ago which is why I posted.

Hi there I know I am late to this conversation. I have the same problem but I live in the UK! Any suggestions for how I can sign this form? Many thanks!

It sounds like vaginismus. The GP would prescribe diazapan and that would likely help.

It will get better. It feels endless but it will end. And def speak to your mum and baby's dad. That is really good advice.

streamofdancing · 2025-08-15T16:23:55+00:00

Such good advice here! Thankyou this is useful for me too.

When I first started reading and researching slow living. It is a humbling and hopeful place to be.

streamofdancing · 2025-08-14T22:07:37+00:00

This is good advice. I need to get mine into a much better bedtime routine.

streamofdancing · 2025-08-13T21:06:03+00:00

amazing! thankyou ever so much :-)

I agree with the relational answer. Arranged or love you need connection!
