DBS Update Service

All licensed drivers must, as a condition of their licence, maintain registration with the DBS Update Service, which allows Licensing to routinely perform essential public safety checks.

If a driver 'falls off' the DBS Update Service they risk their licence being immediately suspended, and additionally will need to complete a new Enhanced DBS check and sign back up to the DBS Update Service. 

The cost of the new Enhanced DBS check and re-registration to the DBS Update Service will at all times be the responsibility of the licensee.

Enhanced DBS Applications

For those drivers requiring a new Enhanced DBS certificate and re-registration may apply online via 

uCheck - Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check

As well as sharing the new Enhanced DBS Certificate with the Licensing team once received, drivers will also need to sign up with the DBS Update Service (within a maximum of 30 days of the certificate date).

Please Note

A large proportion of 'drop-offs' from the DBS Update Service is caused by the licensees failure to maintain an active annual payment option with the DBS Service. This includes when the payment card used by the licensee is changed or reissued. We therefore strongly recommend that drivers ensure that when changing payment cards or banks, that your subscription is updated accordingly.
