Important AccessNI update

All volunteers are asked to note that the PIN number used for AccessNI Enhanced Disclosure Checks and Rechecks has changed with immediate effect.

New AccessNI PIN: 790871

Please ensure this new PIN is used for all new AccessNI Enhanced Disclosure applications submitted through NIDirect.

Remember: The Disclosure Process Has Two Steps

To complete an AccessNI disclosure application for Scouts NI, both of the following steps must be completed:

Step 1: Applicant Completes the Online AccessNI Application

Applicants should submit an Enhanced AccessNI application through NIDirect using the new PIN number above.

Apply online: https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/services/apply-online-enhanced-check-through-registered-body

Step 2: Applicant and ID Checker Complete the Identity Check

An identity check must then be completed on the Scouts Membership System by the applicant and an authorised ID checker.
