If you are paid for eligible work, you may be able to apply for an Enhanced DBS check through an Umbrella Body. Annaizu can help you discuss the appropriate route for your circumstances.
Start a DBS Check
Being self employed does not make every role eligible for an Enhanced check. Describe your actual duties, who receives the service and how the work is arranged before choosing an application route.
“Before Annaizu, I struggled with generic providers who didn’t understand my needs. Their personalized approach and genuine care have made a real difference. My workflows are more organized, I save time, and I feel supported by a team that’s truly invested in my success.”
“With Annaizu, everything is centralised inone place, making the process moreefficient, transparent, and stress-free. Theplatform is user-friendly, and the team isalways responsive and supportive. This gaveus confidence that compliance andimmigration processes were being handledcorrectly, turning Annaizu into a trustedpartner rather than just another provider.”
“I’d say Annaizu is designed to be a one-stop shop for employers to manage compliance. It’s flexible and can be tailored to fit your organisation’s needs.” That said, getting everything setup and running smoothly can take some time and clear communication but it’s worth it in the long run.
“The support is very reliable, and having Mona as our consultant has been a great help. She is highly professional and always supportive. Overall, I’m very happy that we chose Annaizu, and it has given us real peace of mind.”

The relevant guidance covers eligible personal employees as well as self employed people. Review the current DBS guidance and confirm the appropriate application process for your situation.
Prepare a description of your paid work, the people you work with and the identity evidence requested by the Umbrella Body. Confirm eligibility, any barred list entitlement and the total application charge before payment.
Under the route described in current DBS guidance, the eligible self employed person or personal employee applies through an Umbrella Body. A private customer should not assume they can make that application for you.
