Remember to keep your bank details up to date in your DBS Update Service account. Automatic renewals are not by Direct Debit, so if your bank card details change you will need to update these in your account up to 30 days before your current Update Service subscription ends.

We can't issue replacement DBS certificates, so keep your certificate safe. We’ll provide an application reference number so you can subscribe to the Update Service and attach the certificate to your account. You must join within 30 days of the DBS certificate ‘date of issue’.

We are working hard to keep the wait times for #DBSChecks to a minimum. Number of checks completed in December 2022: ✔️171,933 Basic DBS checks ✔️26,907 Standard DBS checks ✔️287,401 Enhanced DBS checks

When joining the Update Service, make a note of your unique subscription ID number which begins with the letter C and keep it secure. Do not share it with anyone else. You will need it to access your account online. If you forget your ID, you can call DBS at 03000 200 190.
