4.2 Current address and five-year address history
4.2.a The applicant’s current address must be subject to attempted verification as part of the digital identity verification provided by the DVS. Where DVS address verification fails, this should be noted (see 4.3.a) but no further manual address verification is required.
4.2.b The permanent address will be the applicant’s correspondence address and where DBS will send the DBS certificate. Further guidance on addresses can be found in the [unusual addresses guide](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dbs-unusual-addresses-guidance/dbs-unusual-addresses-guide).
4.2.c For DBS checks, the applicant must also declare a minimum of 5 years’ address history to the RB or RO. The applicant must make sure they fill in the address part of the form correctly if they have an unusual address, for example if they live abroad, in student accommodation, or in a hostel.
4.2.d Failure to provide a 5 year address history can result in delays caused by conflicted applications that may be withdrawn
