FAQ

The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) require that an applicant provides evidence of their current address as entered on to the application form. This can be a physical document selected from an approved list of documents showing the address, which has been through the postal system (i.e. not self-printed). As an alternative option with a digital identity process, DDC can seek evidence of the address from approved authoritative third-parties. This is an automated system whereby DDC sends details of the address and date of birth details to the third-party and receives a confirmation whether they hold data which matches those details.
