Why You Should Do Your Basic DBS Check Online
Historically, completing a Basic DBS Check yourself has been a bit of a chore. It involved multiple trips to the Post Office and deciphering a form that can be complicated at the best of times. While you can still choose to process your Basic DBS Check this way, we’re strong advocates for making life easier for yourself.
We might be slightly biased but as far as the evidence goes it is clear that it’s easier to get a Basic DBS Check online.
Faster Turnaround Times
When you process a DBS Check application form online everything is done quicker. As our system plugs directly into the Disclosure and Barring Service’s systems, we can deliver completed applications directly to them. Considering the time taken and potential risks of sending something by post, this makes the process infinitely quicker. Most Basic DBS Checks submitted online are back within 24 hours, with around 95% completed within a week.
Track it More Easily
When you submit a DBS Check application online tracking becomes as easy as copy and pasting your reference number from an email into the governments tracking system, which you can find here. In our experience though, most applicants don’t even get a chance to track their DBS Check as it is completed much faster than they expected.
Less Chance for Errors
Processing a Basic DBS Check by post can often mean you’re not aware of any errors you’ve made until your application has been withdrawn by the DBS. The digital application form can provide you with assistance explaining exactly how you need to enter specific information. In many instances, the system will not let you continue to the next part of the application if you have missed any information.
You also don’t need to worry about whether you’re using the right colour pen, remembering to use BLOCK CAPITALS or any other peculiarities found on paper application forms. You can just concentrate on getting the information on the form.
It’s the Greener Option
The DBS are committed to reducing waste across all their services and contribute towards a greener society for everyone. Choosing to do your DBS application form online might seem like a small act but when you consider factors other than paper, such as the fuel used by the postal service, it can help make all the difference.
