The new system can be accessed by going to the RFL web site, to begin the process you will need to enter the reference for your club, ours is CWATHBROW.

Once you have submitted your application you will still need to visit an RFL approved verifier (Martin Brough)to have your identity checked, once your application has been verified it is automatically submitted to the RFL, it is then countersigned and sent to the DBS for processing.

Once you have received your disclosure certificate this now only needs to be sent to The RFL if your certificate contains 'information' as we will need to carry out a risk assessment. We will be notified by the DBS of the disclosures we need to see.

Please note this only applies to applications submitted online, if you have completed a paper application your disclosure certificate still needs to be sent to The RFL regardless of whether it contains 'information' or not.

A printable guide to the online DBS system can be accessed on the RFL web site.
