What is the DBS Update Service?

The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Update Service allows:

• Applicants to keep their DBS certificates up to date
• Employers to check whether an employee has had any cautions or convictions since the DBS certificate was printed.

How does llama.id work with the Update Service?

What are the benefits of using the updates service?

• Saves money and time as there's no need to obtain a new DBS for each employment
• DBS Update Service check is instant. No need to wait weeks for a new certificate
