I didn't have to send off anything, you show the documents to your employer, they don't get sent off, they then sign the form saying what documents they have seen. I just received a letter through the post telling me telling me what I already knew that I had no convictions and it was valid for three months!  Bit of a waste of time if I had just done something norty then! ;D ::) ??? Lots of employers are doing these now and making them a condition of employment, of questionable value unless they intend to do them every three months?

I just had to take various documents such as passport etc to the my HR Dept  - they photocopied what they needed and then they sent the application off.
Is it your HR Dept asking for this or is it a direct request from CRB?

Have you checked the CRB website as it seems to say that individuals cannot apply only organisations - and the organisation has just to check your documents.
