Update Service - Opting out

When the DBS have issued your ECB DBS Certificate, you will receive an email notification from us. This email will ask you to log back into your account to view your certificate result and will also contain information on how to register your certificate onto the Update Service. There will be an option to opt out of this service if you wish. 

If you do opt out of registration to the update service and do not consent to annual rechecks then your ECB DBS clearance will expire after 1 year, at which point you will need to make a new application if you wish to continue in a DBS required cricketing role. 

If you already have a registration to the Update Service for another certificate and wish to add your ECB Certificate, then we can guide you how to do this once your certificate has been issued.

If you choose to remain registered with the Update Service you will be contacted by the ECB via email every 12 months requesting permission to check your current DBS status.

As your DBS update Service account is personally registered to you and sits outside of the ECB's remit, you will be responsible for keeping your account up to date and renewing your subscription.

For paid applicants you will have to pay a fee of £13 per annum and for volunteers it is free, however everyone will receive an annual email directly from the DBS to confirm renewal of their subscription.

NOTE this does not mean your ECB clearance will automatically be renewed.  You will need to complete the annual renewal questionnaire for this to proceed.

OPTING OUT: You may choose to opt out at at each annual recheck (and deny the status check), in which case you will no longer be eligible to work in regulated activity in cricket. If you are happy for the recheck to take place, then once you have completed the renewal questionnaire the check will be actioned.

We will only contact you if any changes in your circumstances are detected that require clarification or a new application.
