What is an Enhanced DBS Check?
An enhanced DBS check is a background check that shows details of convictions, admonitions or warnings issued or pending execution recorded in the National Police Computer (PNC). It also verifies the records of the local police where the applicant resided. This type of check corresponds to the functions included in the Order of 1975 (exceptions) relating to the Offender Rehabilitation Act of 1974 and in the Regulations of the Police Act of 1997 (criminal record).How Much Does an Enhanced DBS Check Cost?
The fee for an enhanced DBS check for people in a paying role is £38.00.If you're hiring a volunteer, DBS doesn't charge any application fees. The first cost of requesting a DBS check is the fixed fee charged by the government, which will vary depending on the level of DBS requested. As mentioned, this fee is charged by the UK Government and is unavoidable (unless the DBS check requested is for a volunteer).
How Long Does an Enhanced DBS Check Take?
Enhanced DBS checks take an average of 8 days to be issued by DBS, and 67% are returned in less than 5 business days.With the DDC ID application, digital identity streamlines the identity verification process for DBS controls, making the process more efficient for everyone. If you do not complete all the steps of your DBS application (which are sent to you by email when completing the DBS order form) within this time frame, your DBS application will be canceled and you will lose any fees you paid.

Once you have all your documents in order, you can contact your coordinating entity and request that they set up automatic renewal for your enhanced DBS check. The coordinating entity will then contact the UK Government and arrange for automatic renewal.Conclusion
