Where to get information to complete a DBS check for an employee who shared credentials

What to do if credentials do not provide all the information required to complete a new criminal record check, when it is required.

The issue

Staff can share an identity credential, right to work credential (if they're a UK or Irish national) and a DBS credential. However, these credentials do not always provide all the information required to complete a new criminal record check.


Likely cause

The identity service provider is sometimes unable to verify all the required information, such as a staff member's address.


What to do

You will need the staff member to come to you in person to provide any missing information.

We are currently working with the identity provider to resolve this issue, which we are targeting for autumn 2024.
