A Medium Level of Confidence is required for photo ID verification for a Basic DBS check.
A Medium Level of Confidence can be achieved by a candidate using one of the following:
• Valid passport (any country)
• Valid driving licence (any country)
• Valid national identity card (any country)
Please note a Medium Confidence is a minimum requirement for a Basic DBS. If a candidate has provided photo verification at a High Level of Confidence (see below), this is greater than Medium, so is therefore acceptable.
A High Level of Confidence is required for photo ID verification for a Standard or Enhanced DBS check.
A High Level of Confidence can be achieved by a candidate using one of the following:
• Valid British/Irish passport (Biometric Chip Scanned /NFC matched)
• Valid UK driving licence (provisional or full)
• Valid national identity card (any country)
Note - a DBS check cannot be submitted by HRSS until the candidate has successfully completed and satisfied:
• Identity Report
• Photo ID verification at applicable confidence level / offline check (if required)
• DBS ID checking guidelines
