I had a very smooth experience with my DBS application process.
Aakriti was extremely helpful, professional, and responsive throughout. She kept me updated at every stage and clearly explained what was required from my side, which made the whole process stress-free and straightforward.
Her communication was clear and timely, and she ensured my application was submitted without delays. I really appreciate her support and dedication.
Thank you, Aakriti, for your excellent service!

We take these situations seriously, and our support team will be in contact to look into what happened and make sure you receive the correct certificate.

SCAM
Already posted a review. So after being charged:
£87 for DBS
£12 for account
£8 x2 for verification because they just say it failed and I need to do it again, says I don't have to pay but cherged me anyway
I also paid £15 for the fast track option, as it said results within 24hrs...
That was an entire week ago now, they asked me to change my last review and because I haven't nobody is processing my application even though I have paid for it. Absolute SCAM!!!!
Their excuse is "it's a seperate company that verifies" so how can you promise results in 24hrs with a fast track??

Hi Matthew, thank you for sharing your concerns. Trustpilot isn’t a customer support platform, so we’re unable to investigate account‑specific issues or resolve them from here. The quickest and most effective way for us to look into charges, verification attempts, or the status of your application is through our support team, who can access your details securely.
Please contact our support team directly so we can review your case properly and make sure everything is handled as it should be. We want to get this sorted for you, and our team is best placed to do that.
Useless
Goodness me, where to start, Firstly, you really have to dig around to find their pricing - I made the mistake of going through the process (as i needed a check urgently) and presuming i would be told the charge before payment - sadly, that didnt happen and i clicked 'pay' before realising i hadnt seen the price. Lo and behold, i checked my bank the next day to see £86.50 being deducted! The next day i got asked about whether i had used a previous name (i had already stated i hadnt on the application process) and saying my verification ID hadnt been uploaded (it had!). They suggested i used their preferred provider (surprise surprise which is an extra cost). And they also asked me for another £15 to fast track. Clearly, this is a company who's business model is to drag out the process and extract as much extra money out of you as possible. I messaged them to cancel and asked for a refund. To no surprise they have been completely awkward, going back and forth over a week before refunding me £25, then after being pushed, a further £25. Hours of wasted time and £36.50 lost. Please, please do not use this company - go on the gov website, its only £21.50.

Hi Diane, thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. I’m really sorry to hear about the experience you’ve described, and I understand how frustrating this must have been. This isn’t the level of clarity or support we want anyone to encounter. A member of our team will be in touch shortly to go through the details with you and work towards a resolution.

They deducted £8 from my bank account again, I don't know what it's for. They're shameless. I don't want or need any services from this company. Please cancel now. I will request a refund from the bank for these fraudulent charges. I haven't received any service. If they don't cancel, I will complain on social media and expose them for their bad faith.

Hi Alessandro, thank you for your review. It’s great to hear the process was efficient and that everything was clear from start to finish.
Quick full process. Great support
The full process, from submitting my application to receiving a DBS Certificate in paper at my home address, took 2 weeks. However, I could download a clear initial certificate online as a PDF 2 days after I submitted my application. Lisa has supported me throughout the process, tracking the delivery and sending me a scanned copy beforehand. Thanks, Lisa!

Thanks for your review. I’m sorry to hear about your daughter’s experience. To help us look into this properly, please reply to the Trustpilot information request with her application details.

Please don't use this company they con you out of money
Applied for a basic DBS check and the price came up as £21.50 so I filled in my details and paid, only to find they charged me £86.50, not once but twice. Tried in vain to contact them, no chance of doing that, had to cancel my card and my bank is trying to get my money back, I haven't even had the product I paid for. Please don't use this company, they're conning people and making it impossible to sort it out. Go to the government site it's safe.
