We need a proof of address, first proof of identity (a passport), and a second proof of identity to help you get a DBS check! But, each document has some specific criteria to be approved.
Providing proof of address is a necessary step in the DBS check process. It is required to meet identity verification standards mandated by the Disclosure and Barring Service.
Accepted examples include:
A bank statement (PDF format, downloaded directly from your online banking app or website)
Other official documents showing your address issued within the last three months.
First proof of identity - passport
Your passport must:
Be valid and current, from any country
Not expire within the next 3 months
Clearly show the entire identity page
Not have any glare/reflections
Second proof of identity -
This document must:
Be a Driving or provisional licence
Not expire within the next month
Clearly show the entire document
Not have any glare/reflections
Be a driving licence.
After submitting your proof of address and other required documents, they will be reviewed for compliance. If approved, you will receive an email with a link to proceed with the DBS application. Should revisions to your submitted documents be needed, you will be informed promptly, and upon resubmission, a new link will be sent to progress your application.
