Digital ID checking for your DBS’s
There is now a time saving benefit available for processing your DBS’s. Once a volunteer or employee has completed their application form and uploaded just their passport and driving licence for their digital ID check, you then log into your portal, press the submit button, and it goes to the DBS for processing, its that simple. For a digital check to be successful, all names and addresses must match the DBS application form to the driving licence and passport.
Liveness detection
The digital system captures an image of the person in front of the camera.
Accurate data extraction
The digital system uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology, NFC (Near Field Communication) chip reading and our expert security team to accurately extract data from thousands of ID document types from over 200 countries and territories.
Document authenticity check
The digital system uses both automatic and manual processes to check the security features of each unique ID document to make sure it’s genuine.
Biometric face match
The scan of the user’s face is captured during liveness to their ID document photo to confirm that the ID document belongs to the user.
How it works.
The applicant uploads their ID into their DBS application form.
NB. The applicants ID MUST match what is on their DBS appplicatin form for the digital check to work. If the address on the driving licence differs from the DBS application form, the check will not work.
As an administrator or ID verifier, you log into the portal and you will see the message customer submission. This means the DBS is ready to be submitted by you as the customer. You simply click on “edit” as usual and submit the application.
The only difference is you don’t key in the ID information as its already been done for you.
