When using Route 2, along with a number of identity documents, the DBS require an ID validation check which satisfies certain criteria.
An ID validation must:
- Medium confidence – as detailed in the Good Practice Guide (GPG) 45
- Provide a straightforward PASS/FAIL result (some suppliers may return a score or a percentage, neither of which are acceptable).
- Provide a hard copy or printable result page.
DDC have developed an online system to allow Registered Bodies and Umbrella Bodies to complete this requirement quickly and easily. The system is fully compliant with the DBS guidelines and uses Experian as the data provider.
