How do I apply for a DBS check with MyTutor?

I'm a Tutor article! If you don’t have an Enhanced DBS check, you can get one with us!

Updated over 2 months ago

You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check to tutor with us, but don’t worry if you don’t have your own - you can apply for one with us!

This option will come up as part of the application process or you can click here.

If you’re a UK or Irish citizen, you’ll need you’ll need:

  • Proof of address

  • The first proof of identity - a valid passport

  • Second UK-issued proof of identity

If you’re not a UK or Irish citizen, you’ll need:

  • Share code

  • Photo ID - preferably a provisional or driving licence, or alternatively another form of approved photo ID

  • Proof of address

You’ll find a lot more detail as to what documents you can use, and what requirements we have, here.

What if I don’t have a UK-issued document as second proof of ID?

We recommend applying for a UK provisional driving licence, or checking other eligible documents here.

What if my proof of identity document/passport is expiring in the next month?

You’ll need to apply for a new one, but you just have to let us know that you need some time to get these documents sorted and we’ll keep your account open.

What if I don’t have any of these documents and I can’t get them?

You won’t be able to apply for a DBS check through MyTutor. But you can look into getting an Enhanced DBS check yourself - university student unions can usually point you in the right direction.

Just make sure that the DBS check fulfils our requirements.
