Turnaround

Pricing cards say “Turnaround in as little as 24hrs”. Source, 11 November 2026

A provider’s claim is their claim. GOV.UK says a basic check applied for directly usually takes up to 3 days to process, and a paper certificate is then posted. For standard and enhanced checks, DBS says each application differs and enhanced checks can take longer when they are referred to the police. Basic check timing · Employer guidance
