I am completing two different registrations, do I need to pay for the criminal history check twice?
Up one level
Only one criminal history check is required per person within a 36 month period. If you are required to complete more than one FSP application (for example, an individual registration, and as a director of a company), to avoid multiple charges for criminal history checks you should make one application and wait for the criminal history check to be completed before submitting your next application. This will take two - five working days.
Once you have received confirmation of your successful criminal history check from the Registrar you can submit any subsequent applications and you won’t be charged again for the criminal history check.
Note | A new criminal history check may be required within this 36 month timeframe if deemed necessary by the Registrar.
