Details

If there is a mistake on your Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) certificate, the disputes and fingerprint consent forms and guidance explain what to do to raise a dispute with the DBS, and what you need to do if you have to provide fingerprints.

The form should only be used for standard and enhanced certificate disputes and cannot be used to raise a dispute relating to a basic check certificate.
