How do I become an ID verifier?

The first step is to contact your County Board. They will put you in touch with your County's Primary Verifier, this is usually the County Safeguarding Officer.

They will verify who you are and make a decision on whether to nominate you as an online verifier for your club or request ECB DBS Team to process this. You will also need to provide the Primary Verifier with your full name, DOB, email address and Club affiliation and you'll also need to hold a valid ECB DBS.

Once you have been nominated, you will receive an email with a link inviting you to begin the registration as a new Verifier within the ECB Disclosures Portal system. Follow the instructions in the email and within the system to register.

Once completed, your registration will be set to pending approval and ECB DBS Team will complete the quality checks in order to approve the registration. At this point, you'll receive a further email with a link to be directed back to the system to activate your account.

Once you have activated your account you will create a password then log in. At this point you will be presented with video tutorials on how to use the system to initiate applications and verify documents. These videos can be found at any time when logged in by clicking on your name in the top right of the system and selecting the option ‘video tutorials’ from the dropdown menu and are also available within the Help Centre.

You are now an active online verifier and can begin initiating applications and verifying documents.
