DBS update service
It is in your Driver Licence conditions that you must have an Enhanced DBS Certificate on the DBS Update Service. Once you have received your certificate, you will have 30 days to put your certificate on the Update Service. If this is not done in time, or payment does not go through at any point, you may need to apply for a new DBS. Not being on the Update Service could result in suspension of your licence.
