UK / RMP Police Checks via The Service Police Crime Bureau (SPCB)

SPCB are able to carry out checks on REDCAP and the Police National Computer, so any convictions spent or otherwise that are incurred whilst overseas as either a serving member of the British Armed Forces or a dependant, should be on either REDCAP or PNC as long as the RMP have been notified of the conviction; either through the RMP Unit or if the country has a sharing agreement with the UK (this would be with ACRO UKECR).

Email SPCB to request to a check at  either:

SpecOpsRMP-SPCB-Vetting0Grp@mod.uk

SpecOpsRMP-SPCB-Vetting0Grp@defence.gsi.gov.uk

Ask for an acknowledgement for your email.

To enable SPCB to provide each individual with a Police Certificate to cover any period spent overseas; firstly they each need to provide the following information:

Valid Proof of ID (Either photo page of Passport, photo driving licence or military ID card). You can either scan the document or take a picture using a mobile phone or tablet and attach this to your email. Full Name, Date and Place of Birth and current address.

The certificate will be emailed, with a hard copy posted if required. 

Once SPCB have received the above information from you; they will have 40 calendar days in which to provide the certificate requested.

SPCB is not able to provide the Police Certificate to a third party.

Once left Brunei

Once left Brunei it is still possible to obtain the RMP Police Check using the above method but you will need to follow the application process available at the below website once they have left:
