DBS Certificate

How To Legalise A DBS Certificate

The legalisation process in the UK involves affixing an apostille (certificate) to a public document. Legalisation serves as official confirmation that the signature, stamp, or seal on the document is authentic. 

Documents can be legalised if they are required to be recognised by an international foreign body.

One of the public documents that you can ask to legalise in the UK is a DBS certificate.

We are here to help you legalise your DBS certificate.

Why Would Someone Need Their DBS Certificate Legalised

You may require your DBS document to be legalised with an apostille if you are required to present it to a foreign organisation outside of the UK .This is used for those participating in specific activity with children or vulnerable adults. The DBS check will state any criminal convictions you hold and, if appropriate, whether you are barred from working with children or vulnerable adults.

Requirements for Legalisation for DBS Certificate

What format is required for the apostille:

Your original Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) document without a signature from an official of the issuing authority

Does the document require solicitor certification:

Your original Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) document must be certified by a solicitor.

You may have heard that two different apostille kinds exist:

  • Paper-based – you must mail your paperwork.
  • “E-Apostille” – You can upload documents as PDF files that a UK notary or solicitor has digitally signed to obtain an electronic apostille.

But note that DBS Certificates are not eligible for an e-Apostille
