Basic DBS checks
You can apply for a basic Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check online by visiting the GOV.UK site. If you're unable to validate your identity online, you can get verified by visiting a Post Office branch instead. To apply for this option, start your online application on the GOV.UK DBS check application page and select ‘Prove your identity in person'.
Standard and Enhanced DBS checks
You may need a Standard or Enhanced DBS check if your employer needs a higher level of assurance that you're suitable for a certain job. This might include jobs like accountants, legal assistants, those working with children or vulnerable adults.
