Check if you need to tell someone about your criminal record
Check if your conviction or caution is spent
Use this tool to check if a conviction or caution is still on your basic criminal record (known as ‘unspent’).
The check includes driving offences and military convictions.
You can read more about what an unspent conviction or caution is.
Before you check
For each conviction or caution you’ve had, you’ll need:
- the type of conviction or caution you got
- the date you got it
- the date any conditions ended, or how long your sentence was
If you give approximate dates, the result you get will be approximate.
You will not need to give personal details such as your name. The information you give will not be saved and cannot identify you.
