If you live outside UK for more than 5 years, you are not required to do a CRB disclosure. However, if you have lived anywhere else other than India in the last 5 years and that country appears on the CRB website, then you would be required to do a disclosure for that country.
The checklist of the countries offering CRB check is available at: http://www.crb.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=2243
If you are required to do a CRB disclosure, please request a CRB standard disclosure application form from the SRA. If you fail to obtain a satisfactory standard disclosure, your application for admission will be refused. The fee for a criminal records check is £ 47.

What is the Criminal Records Bureau check?
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) requires that the applicants for admission as a solicitor in England and Wales be of good character.
When you apply for a Certificate of Eligibility to transfer to the roll of solicitors of England and Wales under the Qualified Lawyers Transfer Regulations, you must declare all the matters that could affect your suitability for admission including criminal convictions from England and Wales or elsewhere, and financial matters such as insolvency or entering into voluntary arrangements. Failure to declare at this stage of the process is a serious breach of the admission requirements and may result in refusal of admission.
When you successfully complete the Qualified Lawyers Transfer Test and have complied with any experience requirements, you must apply through the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) for a standard disclosure from the Criminal Records Bureau (www.crb.gov.uk). As part of its quality programme to aid consumer protection, the Law Society’s Regulation Board has introduced a compulsory requirement for all individuals to obtain a satisfactory Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check prior to admission to the roll.
