You now need to have your identity verified as part of your DBS application.
Please submit your Identity Checking Form within one month of submitting your online DBS application. If you cannot submit it within that time, please contact us so that your application is not withdrawn and your fees forfeited.

If a Responsible Person cannot verify your identity, the Post Office can verify it instead. Read the Post Office guidance below for details.
