The DBS Update Service can save drivers money on buying certificates. Instead, you can consent for Licensing Services to check certificates online.

Update Service

Watch our step-by-step video guide on how to register with the DBS update service.

The Non-Statutory Licensing Committee has approved the DBS Update Service. This is for checking criminal records of:

  • driver licence applicants
  • driver licence holders

More information is available at https://www.gov.uk/dbs-update-service

I am not subscribed to the service

If you are not subscribed, you may be able to register if the DBS issued you certificate in the last 30 days.

If the DBS issued your certificate more than 30 days ago, you will need to buy a new enhanced DBS check from Taxi Plus. You can then subscribe to the Update Service.

Drivers must provide Update Service consent as part of the application process. Existing drivers must stay on the DBS Update Service while their licence is valid.

The DBS certificate must be for an enhanced check for the position of either:

  • ‘Other Workforce - Taxi Licensing’
  • ‘Other Workforce - Taxi Driver’
