Is it possible to speed up applications?
Under the Data Protection Act 1998 your application will take up to 40 days to process from the date recorded on your receipt. In the case of information held about you on the Police National Computer (PNC), your application will be passed to the National Identification Service, who will access the PNC and post the reply to you. Due to the volume of applications that they receive, the National Identification Service cannot expedite or prioritise any applications.
 
Good question..
I think you must consider total period. Let's say, if you stayed in Ankara totaly more than 12 month then you need the police certificate.

Dont worry, they do well and you dont need to pay any fee. You have to apply to the Turkish Ministry of Justice or to the Turkish Embassy in a country where you are residing at this moment. In Ankara they give it in couple days, if you will apply through the embassy it takes around 1 month.


thanx dragoman again for your kindly reply.

I wonder about if someone spent abroad in many times with durations 10 months or less in each time. In this case total period spending aborad on the basis of the same location will be calculated together or will take into consideration just only btw arrival and departure.

For example,
if someone spent 10 months in Ankara, Turkey and come back and stayed again 10 months in Ankara, Turkey and come back to native country. how will consider this situation. should we say calculating total period staying abroad as 20 months or we should consider just only the case btw departure and arrival.
