How much is a standard DBS check?

Applications for standard or enhanced DBS checks are made through organisations called Registered Bodies (RBs). The RB is the organisation responsible for verifying the information provided is complete and accurate before submitting the application to the DBS.

The fee for a standard DBS check is £21.50. Some RBs charge an administration fee in addition to the DBS fee. The administration fee is not a set fee and can vary.
