Obtaining your enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service certificate
A criminal record check of current and spent convictions and police cautions is seen as an essential safety measure in assessing whether or not an applicant is suitable to hold a drivers licence. Now that you have completed your on-line application you will need to apply for an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Services Certificate (“DBS”).
If you already have an Enhanced DBS Certificate which is under three months old, please inform the Taxi Licensing Officer. If you do not already have one, you MUST complete an on-line Disclosure and Barring application (Criminal Records Disclosure) with Know Your People who will administer your Disclosure Application on our behalf.
The fee for your DBS application & verification is £75. Payment can be made by contacting the payments teams on 01322 343434, asking for payments and then selecting option 1 and then option 2. Please use your name as the reference number and the income code is H0105 9567.
Once Payment has been made, we will be able to set up an account with our service provider Know Your People, so that you can apply for your DBS certificate online.
Once you have submitted your DBS application, please email the Vehicle Licensing Officer the documents you used to complete your DBS application with Two Independent written references from a person or organisation who have known you for at least two years at vehiclelicensing@dartford.gov.uk
