Do I have to pay for my own DBS check? You do not have to pay for your own DBS check; this is provided for you by The Tutor Trust at no charge. However if you lose your DBS certificate before the 3 year period it covers, you will be required to pay for a replacement. If you have a valid Enhanced DBS with a minimum of 18 months remaining, it can be transferred to your work with The Tutor Trust. Manage Cookie Preferences
