Definitely in the UK. You can ask for full criminal records.
- VBprogrammer 6y agoCriminal convictions in the UK at least can be considered spent, after that point it doesn't need to be declared.
- michaelt 6y agoYou can ask. But UK convictions become 'spent' after a certain amount of time (Depending on the length of the prison sentence served, with 4+ year sentences never becoming spent) after which they leave the person's basic criminal record, and there's no obligation to tell a prospective employer about them. Only a few jobs (such as teaching) are allowed info on spent convictions.
