Process Update for UK Checks Using the Disclosure and Barring Service

Please note, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), an agency that provides basic disclosure checks, has announced process updates.


The DBS has announced that employers must return to in-person review of ID and proof of address documents.

This return to enforcement is being implemented from July 1, 2021; however, employers have until October 1, 2021 to transition completely.

They have also announced that candidate email addresses will be mandatory for all applications from July 1, 2021. We currently collect this information and do not anticipate any service impact.

Please note that this only applies to applicants who will be living and working in England or Wales.

If you have any questions, please contact your sales executive, account manager, or our customer service team.
