How to find out the owner of a car

It’s no problem looking it up. You’d be amazed what’s held on people.

It’s keeping your job afterwards that’s the hard bit

The record thing for work visa is odd. The ACPO search as it was pulls up everything and I mean every encounter no matter how small. Even FPNs of some type would show on it I believe.

I’ve known plenty of good lads not get work in the US because they had a fight in their teens thirty years prior and have never even spoken to a policeman since. Drink Driving is a big one for the USA as well for some reason.

Canada was mega serious about drink driving convictions, the US less so. They both ask about any convictions of any sort, or police charges, even if proven innocent.

I got busted for drink driving aged 17, but I decided not to mention it when I applied for clearance to work in Canada, and obviously nobody checked up as I worked there for a year. There is no way they can check, short of getting a legal order to access the U.K. criminal records system.

If you’re a real bad boy you won’t get there anyway as you’re on a no fly list.

You need to be more honest on a visa application as they ask for a criminal history and other things. I got asked for a chest X-ray once for Australia working visa! As with all these things if you lie you’re ***. There’s a chance you may get in with the criminal record but you certainly won’t if you lie about it.

Chest X-ray was normal for Ozzy work visa, checking for TB.

I've never declared any of my previous criminal endeavours on any visa application, anywhere, and never had a problem, and I've worked all over the world, including USA, Canada, Australia, Saudi, Singapore etc. They simply do not have access to anything on record in the UK. Otherwise they wouldn't ask, they'd just look.

Last time I applied for a work visa I needed a printout from the Home Office giving my Criminal Record. Or lack thereof.

There's some right shifty sorts on this forum, on both sides of the law!

We also have some who are trying to perceive cleanliness beyond a soap factory When the "convicts" of this forum me included make a comment that tests the law in word, i and we are not stupid and need telling like a school child that "that's wrong". Not aimed at you mate,just a funny observation of some folk who cant chat with other lads without lessons in life getting dealt

It’s one of the many reasons I am glad I don’t travel for work.

I’m not sure how much that bit of paper costs but enough, I’d think!

The work I used to do was fine. I enjoyed it and I enjoyed the travel. All the paperwork and beaurocrasy to actually get out there used to do my head in! That’s what I don’t miss.

You mean those people we have to interact with sometimes that seem to enjoy getting punched!
