UK Criminal Background Check Options at Your Fingertips
We offer four main types of UK Background Checks, catering to a variety of needs and requirements:
Illicit Activity Database Check ($40) 🌐
A broad search through multiple UK court sources, including global PEP lists, Sanctions, and Debarred Persons. This check offers a preliminary look into an individual's criminal history, identifying any potential risks. Ideal for a quick and centralized risk assessment.
Basic DBS Check ($82) 🕵️♂️
Ideal for a wide range of roles, this check reveals any unspent convictions within an individual's history. Perfect for those applying for roles that don't specifically require a DBS check but where employers still wish to conduct due diligence. This check is crucial for alcohol licence applications and certain visa categories, ensuring a safe and compliant recruitment process. Turnaround time is quick, taking only 1-2 days.
Standard DBS Checks Online ($95) 🔍
Required for positions in financial services, healthcare, prisons, and government buildings. This mid-level check reveals spent reprimands, warnings, cautions, and criminal convictions that are not filtered out as irrelevant to the job position. Available exclusively to companies or third-party organizations, it helps safeguard against internal threats in sensitive work environments.
Enhanced DBS Checks Online ($129) 💼
The most comprehensive background check available for roles involving direct contact with vulnerable groups. This check includes everything from spent and unspent convictions to cautions, warnings, and reprimands, plus checks against ISA-barred lists if necessary. Essential for teachers, healthcare workers, taxi drivers, and similar professions, Enhanced DBS Checks uphold the highest safety standards. Available only to companies, this check is processed in as little as 48 hours.
Notes: A conviction becomes ‘spent’ after a certain amount of time has elapsed, at which point the offender’s record is updated, and crimes are typically removed (some serious crimes, such as those involving children or other vulnerable members of society, may remain).
