Tracking your DBS application

Once you have submitted your application & it has been verified it will progress for the full checks conducted by the Disclosure and Barring Service.

Once submitted you will be given a Form reference number, you can use this to check on the status of your application online at https://secure.crbonline.gov.uk/enquiry/enquirySearch.do

Please note that application time can vary and is different for every applicant. The process can take up to 8 weeks, sometimes longer, to be completed depending on number of applications at any one time and the various stages that need to be actioned.

If your application has been delayed significantly it will be chased up by Atlantic Data on your behalf after 60 days.
