You should only be dialling 0300 200 2020 for calls about criminal applications as the old 0121 232 5500 number has been closed.
We gave notice that the old criminal application enquiry line was closing in September 2017.
A temporary redirect was put in place to help callers to 0121 232 5500 but this has now ended.
If you have the old number saved you should update it to 0300 200 2020 now.
