Disclosure Scotland checks taking forever

[Mephisto]

Took over a month for a basic to arrive recently. Applied end of March arrived early May. Ridiclous but I guess it is down to the new financial year and flurry of applicants.

Their SLA was just over a fortnight but they well and truly missed this! As others have said in the past it's been a matter of a few days.

As an aside why do all ClientCos seem to want their own new certificate? I thought they were valid for three years but I've never been able to 'transfer' yet!

That's been discussed hundreds of times on here. I've had clients allow it and others not. It's a bit like an MOT*. it proves that on the day it was done, it was fine. Some people would want additional evidence six months later, some people would accept what you had already. Clients are the same.

* I realise this is a contractor forum. An MOT is something poor people's cars require .
