How does BPSS check works?
Once you provide the contact details of your candidate or employee, they will receive an invitation to access our secure portal. There, they can complete a simple online form to begin the BPSS check process.
They will be asked to provide:
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Address history for the past 6 years (with dates)
- Two valid identity documents
- 3 years of employment history
Most checks are processed quickly. Some parts, such as criminal record (DBS) checks or employment verifications, may take longer depending on the availability of information.
As soon as results are available, you will be notified by email. You can also securely download reports directly from our portal.
