Independent private application-support service · Not a government or police body

International criminal record application support

Support with international criminal-record applications, prepared properly the first time

Regent Record Check helps individuals prepare, check and submit the paperwork needed to obtain criminal-record documentation for employment, visas, immigration, overseas work, study and residency — whether you are applying from the United Kingdom or from abroad.

Regent Record Check is an independent private application-support service. We are not a government department, police force, embassy, consulate or issuing authority, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them. Our fee is a support fee for document preparation, checking and guidance. Any official authority, embassy, legalisation or courier fees are separate and are paid by you.
