Criminal checks on none EU taxi drivers
Dear Newcastle upon Tyne City Council,
I am fully aware of the criminal checks taxi drivers coming from Europe have done via Europol and Eurojust.
I would like to know what checks are done for taxi drivers arriving from outside Europe, places such as Iran, Syria, Afghanistan, please tell me the process from start to finish ,
Yours faithfully,

Dear Jonathan,
I have asked numerous drivers from abroad if they had to submit a NOTE OF GOOD CHARACTER from there country of origin, they all responded the same with an emphatic NO .
Now there is the possibility they are lying but i doubt this very much but as i can not prove this one way or the other i will leave this matter as undetermined.
