Captured source text (L5)

What if the applicant’s identity cannot be established using one of the three routes?

If you or your ID checker cannot establish an applicant’s identity in accordance with DBS ID guidelines, then you should mark W59 on the application form with a NO.
Applicants who are unable to provide the required documents will then be asked to give their consent to have their fingerprints taken in line with the current procedure. Employers should note this will require attendance by the applicant at a police station at an appointed time and may add delay to the overall application process.
This process does not validate identity, it simply confirms whether the individuals’ fingerprints are held on the central record.
