4. Verify your identity for vacancies which require a criminal record check (also known as a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check)

If a DBS check is needed for the role you are interviewed for, the advertisement and Job Summary and Person Specification will state this.

For further details along with a list of the acceptable documents you are required to bring to interview to verify your identity for the purposes of a DBS Check are contained on the Disclosure & Barring Service website.

If you have had a DBS check and you are registered with the DBS update service, providing the level of the check is appropriate and the check is for the correct workforce portability may be accepted, please bring your DBS certificate and your Update Service membership information with you to interview and an assessment will be made as to whether you require a new check.

Documents in a previous name can be accepted only where the applicant can provide documentation supporting a recent change.
