self-employed-dbs.co.uk is the UK's only dedicated DBS check platform built from the ground up for self-employed workers. We are a government-approved DBS Umbrella Body, providing Enhanced DBS checks and Standard DBS checks to sole traders, freelancers and self-employed professionals across England and Wales. Before January 2026, self-employed people had no way to apply for their own Enhanced or Standard DBS check. These checks could only be obtained through an employer or registered organisation. A legislative change in January 2026 opened up a new route, allowing self-employed individuals to apply directly through a registered DBS Umbrella Body. self-employed-dbs.co.uk was built specifically to serve this new market, giving self-employed workers a clear, compliant and affordable way to get DBS checked without needing an employer to sponsor them. We offer two levels of DBS check. An Enhanced DBS check is the most detailed criminal record check available, covering spent and unspent convictions, cautions, warnings, reprimands and any relevant local police intelligence. It can also include a check against the Children's Barred List or Adults' Barred List at no additional cost where eligibility criteria are met. A Standard DBS check covers spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings held on the Police National Computer. Both check types must be submitted through a registered body, which is exactly what our platform provides. Our service is designed for every self-employed role that requires a DBS check. This includes private tutors, music teachers, childminders, nannies, private carers, live-in carers, healthcare assistants, sports coaches, personal trainers, counsellors, support workers, cleaners working in sensitive settings, driving instructors, dog walkers, babysitters, exam invigilators, agency care staff, education trainers, tradespeople working in schools or care homes, and any other self-employed role involving regulated activity with children or vulnerable adults. The application process is fully online. You register on our platform, confirm which level of DBS check you need, and complete your application form. Our AI-powered validation checks your form in real time to reduce errors and avoid delays. You then verify your identity digitally using a biometric passport or EU ID card from your smartphone. There is no need to visit a Post Office or send original documents by post. Once your application is complete and payment is made, we submit it to the DBS via the e-Bulk electronic system. This means your application is processed faster than paper submissions, with results often returned within hours of DBS processing. You can track the progress of your DBS certificate through your online account at every stage. Our UK-based support team is available if you need help at any point during the process. We also offer a Right to Work check alongside your DBS application, combining criminal record screening with employer-grade right to work verification in a single process. With 19 years of experience processing DBS and CRB checks, e-Bulk registration for electronic submission, digital ID verification and a secure online platform, self-employed-dbs.co.uk provides the fastest and most straightforward route for self-employed people to get DBS checked.
