How does a coach complete a DBS online?

Created by Rohith Krishna S, Modified on Mon, 17 Jun at 1:47 PM by Lorraine Tilley

All DBS applications are now completed through the Club Portal for youth team officials, please contact your Welfare Officer about this.

Once you have been added as a DBS applicant, follow the guidance below.


  • Sign into your FA Whole Game account.
  • On the left-hand side select the MY DBS TAB 
  • Select the Green Apply button listed next to your club’s name. Once selected this will generate an email to complete your DBS application. (Please check your email spam account)
  • Once you have completed your application, provide your ID to the Club Welfare Officer.  Your application will not progress for background checks until your ID has been verified and your application has been paid for.
