At Aaron’s Department, we understand the importance of balancing cost with efficiency, which is why we’re proud to offer some of the cheapest DBS checks available online. Whether you need a cheap Enhanced DBS check, a Basic DBS check, or a Standard, we’re here to provide fast, reliable, and cost-effective solutions.
Why Choose a Cheap DBS Check Online?
If you’ve already had a look online for prices, you might have noticed that some providers charge a lot more than others, but why? At the end of the day, paying more for a DBS check doesn’t mean it’s any better, or that you’ll get it back quicker.
A lot of DBS providers that charge higher prices only do so because:
- They need to cover the costs of their Google Ads
- By hiking the price up, they hope employers will think they offer a better system that everyone else
- They’re hoping that organisations won’t shop around to find a better deal
Looking at all these different prices online can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when budgets are tight. That’s why finding a DBS check cheap and convenient is a priority for many organisations and individuals. Opting for a cheap DBS check online not only saves money but also speeds up the process, allowing you to meet compliance requirements without hassle.
How Much Should a DBS Check Cost?
The cost of a DBS are broken down into two fees (this is the same for all DBS providers), the DBS Fee and the Admin Fee.
What Is The DBS Fee?
This is the fee charged by the government for conducting the check. These prices are:
Basic DBS Check: £21.50
Standard DBS Check: £21.50
Enhanced DBS Check: £49.50
If the individual requiring the check is classed as a volunteer, and needs a Standard or Enhanced DBS check, they do not have to pay this fee!
Be careful though, some DBS providers charge more than the above! There is no reason for this, apart from making some extra money.
At Aaron’s Department, we don’t charge a penny more than the government charge.
Admin Fee
This is the fee charged by the DBS provider (like Aaron’s Department) for processing the check, providing the IT necessary, as well providing any support.
The Admin Fee is where other providers really hike up the price, as mentioned.
At Aaron’s Department, we are able to provide some of the cheapest DBS checks by keeping our admin fees low, which are:
Basic DBS Check: £5.45
Standard DBS Check: £8.75
Enhanced DBS Check: £10.95
With our competitive admin fees, you can secure a cheap Enhanced DBS check and other types of DBS checks without breaking the bank. Plus, our transparent pricing ensures there are no hidden costs, making it easy to budget for your recruitment needs.
How To Get Cheaper DBS Checks
At Aaron’s Department, it is possible to reduce the cost of your DBS checks with our free admin credit scheme.
Here’s how it works: when you pay over £200 in admin fees via bank transfer, we’ll reward you with a percentage back—completely free. By using this, you can heavily discount the DBS check cost!
| Deposit Amount | Free Credit Returned |
|---|---|
| £200 – £399.99 | 10% |
| £400 – £599.99 | 20% |
| £600 – £799.99 | 30% |
| £800 – £999.99 | 40% |
| £1000+ | 50% |
For example, if you deposit £400, we’ll add an extra £80 to your account—for free! That’s the equivalent of 7 Enhanced DBS checks (with money left over) without paying a single penny of admin fees!
