What can cause DBS to be delayed?

 

The DBS check can be delayed if any of the following happens:

  • Address check failed and the candidate needs to provide a proof of address
  • The candidate submitted an invalid post code
  • The candidate’s identity is still being verified, or is unable to be verified because
    • they used an expired passport to prove their right to work; or
    • they used a birth certificate and National Insurance number to prove their right to work
