Published figures that do not agree

The Home Office umbrella page’s main lines use the current £20 and £41 DBS fees with a £7.40 handling fee, and say handling runs from £7.40 to £15.70 inc VAT. A further paragraph on the same page still adds the pre-5 October 2026 fees (£21.50 and £49.50) to a £7.40 handling fee. Source, 11 November 2026

Turnaround

“Many checks are completed in minutes and DBS Checks are typically within 48 hours – our record is 13 minutes.” The same page also says “Rapid turnaround - 24/48 hours on average.” 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
