Criminal offences

esperanza

I need written proof that I have not been convicted of any criminal offences for a job application. Does anyone know what this document is called and from whom I can get hold of it?

Call into your local Garda Station. Bring proper ID with you. They'll tell you what to do.

A mate of a mate can get you one for €200. What offences do you not want to be convicted of?

You need whats called Garda Clearance - can take up to a week (it did for my friend once - but normally she has no probs getting it)

Tired of hiding out in spain? You'd probably have to put it in writing i doubt they'd do it over the phone

nope

You have to send €6.35 to Garda HQ.

Garda clearance is only processed for prospective full time health care workers of the health boards who would have substantial access to children or vulnerable young people (http://www.cyc-net.org/cyc-online/cycol-0201-mcelwee.html)

Saying that though, Under the Data Protection Act of 1988, Section 4, everyone is entitled to ask for a search of any personal data on the criminal record database referring to them.

Just contact your local Garda Station of your home address in Ireland and they will be able to tell you for definite!

That is what you do. You send off a writen request to garda HQ with the fee of €6.35 for a statement of what is on the garda computer about you.

TBH, the company you are going to work for should VET you, When I became a security guard in the UK, they rang my employer from when I was 14, even rang school, and spoke to the government over here. Seem odd that you have to organise it.

I think the OP is in France somewhere and occasionally they do ask you to provide a police statement of no criminal convictions. I can't remember how I organised it though, although I recall being asked for it in the past, again, from France.

Lol! Nice one.

I haven't been able to contact my local garda station yet, but I just did a Google search for "Garda Clearance Form" and saw that it can be downloaded from some sites, but it is mainly connected with jobs? Does anyone know if I can download a form from the Garda website, for example?

It also asks you to list all the addresses where you lived abroad, I've probably got more than ten and can't remember them all. Is it really important to list these addresses, or is there a way that the Gardai can find out where you have been living?

I'd only list the significant ones. If you stayed in your mate's cousin's sitting room for two days, I wouldn't put it down.
