UK Police Certificate- can't remember my last address

[Alexander80]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get my documents sorted even though my EE score is at a humble 437 (who knows, I might get lucky!). I'm trying to request for a UK police certificate even though I last lived there about 14 years ago. Trouble is I can't for the life of me remember the number of the house I lived in, just the street. Does anybody have any idea whether this will be a problem for UK police or even, if they no issue, whether CIC will reject the police certificate on this basis? Thanks a lot!

Do you remember the post code?

So are you saying you last lived in UK more than 10 years ago ? If you lived in UK in the last 10 years those are the only addresses required.

If you know the street then you can find the postcode here http://www.royalmail.com/find-a-postcode Personally I would just put the street and postcode in the police cert application with an explanation in the section provided. From what I recall not sure a UK certificate comes back with any addresses listed other than current as thats not its purpose.

Well if you lived in the UK more than 10 yrs ago they will only require your last address. If you have a friend or family member's address you can give them that and say you live there for a couple of months.

They will have no way of knowing that you never lived there.

There certificate will only show your current address.

No, but I can search for the postcode. I just don't remember the house number

Ok thanks for the advice

Look through your emails, bank statements, etc. I'm sure you will find something somewhere.

Look on Google Street view, you may recognise the door number.

I did try that but they all look pretty much the same unfortunately. :-(
