Territorial Extent and Application Part 8 – Miscellaneous Criminal records etc Section 95 Criminal conviction certificates: verification of identity
544.Section 95 allows for other methods of identity verification to be prescribed under section 118 of the 1997 Act when making an application for a certificate. The taking of fingerprints is already provided for under section 118 and any method prescribed under this section is likely to be less intrusive than requiring fingerprints. Such requirements may include requiring evidence of identity (such as a passport, driving licence and current utility bills etc).
