Is there a cost involved?
Registration Fees
£150 for an organisation to become a Registered Body (includes one Countersignatory). Each organisation should determine how many Registered Bodies it has – for example, a Local Authority can be a Registered Body in its own right or it can register each of its Departments (always having consideration to its business needs in respect of carrying out Disclosure checks). However, in this example, each Department would be charged the Registration Fee.
£10 for each additional Countersignatory. Each Registered Body can determine the number of additional Countersignatories to suit their business needs - Disclosure Scotland does not impose any limit.
Disclosure Fee
The fee for Disclosures is £20. This applies to all levels of Disclosure.
Application forms which have Barcodes commencing 00201, 00202, 00203 or 00301 which state £13.60 and are received on or after 1 April 2006 will be charged the new fee of £20.
There is no additional charge if payment is made via a debit or credit card. Please note - Disclosure applications paid by credit/debit cards will be shown as "BT Disclosure Scotland" on card statements.
Free Disclosures are available for those voluntary (unpaid) posts within the voluntary sector in Scotland. Further information is available HERE.
