How do I view my DBS certificate online?

You cannot view a Standard or Enhanced DBS Certificate online.

The results of your Basic DBS check can be viewed online if it is linked to a DBS Online Account. An authorisation code is posted to you on completion of a Basic DBS check to enable you to create an account.

The DBS online account guidance shows you how to link your online account to a DBS profile.

Once your Basic DBS check has been linked, you can login to your account to view your result by going to manage DBS checks or manage consent if you wish to share it with others.

To retrieve your authorisation code, you can contact our Customer Services on 03000 200 190 and speak to one of our agents who will be happy to assist you.
