Does a crb check include Gibraltar?

Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks were replaced by (Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks in 2012.

DBS checks access criminal records held on the U.K. Police National Computer (PNC) to which Gibraltan authorities do not have access to. Therefore Gibraltan offences are unlikely to show up on a DBS check.

To obtain a criminal record certificate from Gibraltar, the applicant can apply for a 'Certificate of good conduct' directly from the Royal Gibraltar Police (if they are still in Gibraltar) or from 'Gibraltar House' in London (if they are in the U.K.).

Why has the British colony of Gibraltar not been returned to Spain despite the latter's request that it be returned?

First of all, let us correct the terminology. Gibraltar is not a British colony; it is a self-governing British Overseas Territory. Gibraltar has its own legislature, passes its own laws, has its own police, etc. It is a separate country under the aegis and protection of the UK. This is fundamentally different from a colony, which is governed by individuals appointed and directed by the metropole whose views may be out-of-touch with the people they govern.

As for why Britain has not returned Gibraltar to Spain; the Gibraltarian people do not want this. The Gibraltarian people have been consistent in their disapproval of becoming part of Spain and Britain has chosen to honor this decision.


For example, in response to Spanish Caudillo Franco's overtures to have Gibraltar reunited with Spain, Gibraltarians voted overwhelmingly to remain under British sovereignty in the Gibraltar sovereignty referendum of 1967, which led to the passing of the Gibraltar Constitution Order in 1969. In another referendum held in 2002, in response to a proposal of shared sovereignty on which Spain and Britain were said to have reached "broad agreement", Gibraltarians rejected the change by an overwhelming majority (98%). A new Constitution Order was approved in referendum in 2006, which created the current mostly autonomous government of Gibraltar.

Do you have pay national insurance in Gibraltar?

If you are employed in Gibraltar you will no longer pay National insurance to the UK but you will have to pay Social Insurance in Gibraltar, this is totally separate and nothing to do with UK NI, but its similar to NI in that it goes towards paying for your health care and towards old age pension in Gibraltar, the current amount of contribution per month is currently just under £100. Don't forget that if you haven't paid in enough NI contributions in the UK you don't get the full old age pension when you retire, in Gibraltar you need to have paid in a minimum of 152 monthly payments to qualify for a pension from there and even then I'm not sure you would get the full amount.
