AU10TIX Expands UK DIATF Certification to Include DBS Checks
Event summary
- AU10TIX extended its UK DIATF certification to cover Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks on July 20, 2026.
- The certification, issued by Kantara Initiative UK, adds DBS to AU10TIX's existing Right to Work and Right to Rent certifications.
- This enables identity verification for basic, standard, and enhanced criminal record checks required for roles involving vulnerable groups or regulated professions.
- AU10TIX now offers a single identity verification layer across the UK's three most widely required identity checks.
The big picture
AU10TIX's expanded DIATF certification strengthens its role as a government-aligned identity provider in the UK. This move comes as background-check volumes grow across sectors like healthcare, education, childcare, and financial services, where employers need to balance speed, compliance, and audit readiness. The certification reduces the need for multiple vendors, simplifying procurement and providing a unified verification layer.
