If the DBS account is set up for the employer to pay, they will either be asked for payment following the ID checking stage, or they will be invoiced at the end of the month. If the applicant is due to pay for the DBS check, they will be asked for payment at the end of the application form. If an applicant meets the DBS Volunteer Criteria then the standard or enhanced DBS will be free (unfortunately this does not apply to the basic level DBS) but any umbrella body administrative fees may still apply.ĪPCS offer DBS checks at a competitive price, along with no registration or annual fees – we won’t be beaten on price! Who pays for DBS Checks?Įither the applicant or the employer can pay, there is no legal requirement for the employer to pay for DBS checks in the UK. Do I have to pay for the DBS if I’m a volunteer?
