Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations substitute the prescribed fees for criminal records certificates and enhanced criminal records certificates in the Police Act 1997 (Criminal Records and Registration) (Jersey) Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/1087) and insert a new fee of £23 for criminal conviction certificates (also known as basic certificates).

The fees for criminal records certificates (also known as standard certificates) are reduced from £26 to £23, and the fees for enhanced criminal records certificates are reduced from £44 to £40. This will mirror the fee reductions applied to applications for certificates in England and Wales.

The new and substituted fees apply to applications for criminal conviction certificates, criminal records certificates and enhanced criminal records certificates in Jersey.
