Imported from official source

The 1.0 version of the supplementary code for Disclosure and Barring Service digital identity checks

This is the 1.0 publication of the supplementary code for Disclosure and Barring Service digital identity checks. It sets out rules for digital verification services supporting Registered Bodies and Responsible Organisations to conduct identity verification as part of Disclosure and Barring Service checks.

It comes into force on on the date the first conformity assessment body (‘CAB’) is accredited to certify against it, which will be no earlier than 1 September 2026.

If you’re looking for other versions of this supplementary code, or for other supplementary codes you can also view all current and previous versions of the supplementary codes.

The publication has been updated to reflect that it is now in its final release, rather than in pre-release.

This is an extract. The publication continues at the source.
