The problem today

What's broken in how you verify pet-care professionals right now.

Paperwork doesn't scale

Officers chase certificates by email - and can't tell a valid DBS from a screenshot.

Permits expire silently

You issue for 12 months, but the DBS or insurance lapses in month 4 with no one watching.

No enforcement evidence

When a complaint lands, there's no auditable record of who was cleared and against what standard.

What WalkIdentity gives you

Compliance certificate per permit

One-click PDF showing verified ID, DBS, insurance and expiry - attach straight to the permit file.

Applicant lookup

Search any individual and see their full verification history for enforcement or FOI response.

Zero build cost

No KYC procurement, no IT integration. Applicants use a hosted flow; you get the results.

Common questions

Do we need to change our permit form?

No. Add one line asking for a WalkIdentity reference. Applicants complete the flow separately and paste it back.

Is this UK GDPR compliant?

Yes. We're data controller for the verification; you receive the outcome and certificate. DPA and attestations available.

What if a DBS or insurance lapses mid-permit?

Your dashboard flags it immediately and your officers get a weekly digest of anything lapsing in 90 days.
