A CRB check, now known as an enhanced DBS check, does not have an official expiry date. The information contained in the check is valid only at the time of issuance. However, some organizations may have their own policies requiring individuals to renew their DBS checks after a certain period (e.g., every three years) to ensure the information is up to date.

∙ 9y agoCRB checks and DBS checks expired the very moment they were issued. This is because they are only true at the moment they are issued and the applicant might have gone on a crime spree the day after.
It is up to each employer/organisation to decide how often to renew DBS checks on staff. usually 2-3 years is standard practice and many employers insist on a new DBS check during the recruitment process.
However, if the applicant signs up to the DBS Update Service at the time of application, an employer will be able to check whether the applicant's certificate is still valid and this reduces the need to recheck staff all the time.
