Tracking The Progress Of Your Application

As soon your DBS application has been submitted to the relevant body, we will issue you with a unique reference number. You need to use this number for tracking. Either the DBS or Disclosure Scotland will issue this. You will be sent the number by email.

By clicking the relevant link below, you are able to track your DBS application directly on the web site. To trace an application, please have the applicants surname, date of birth, and the unique reference number.

If your tracking information notifies you of a delay in the process, the quickest course of action would be to contact the Disclosure & Barring Service. Call them directly on 03000 200 190, or Disclosure Scotland at response@disclosurescotland.gov.scot  or you can get back in touch with us. We will guide you through the process and help with any issues.
