Will my convictions recorded against my former gender name appear on the certificate

Will my convictions recorded against my former gender name appear on the certificate?

Yes. Any conviction information recorded on the Police National Computer under your former gender name will appear on either a Standard or Enhanced DBS certificate.

However, DBS provides a confidential checking process for applicants who have either undergone gender reassignment or who identify as a different gender to their birth gender.
