In Sweden… The equivalent of the UK Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check in Sweden is the Police Record Extract (utdrag ur belastningsregistret), which is issued directly by the Swedish Police Authority (Polisen). You can apply directly through the Swedish Police Authority E-Service. If you need to use the document outside Sweden, you must specifically request the “Extract for use abroad” (utdrag för utlandsändamål), which is issued in multiple languages.

In Finland…The equivalent of the UK Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) in Finland is the Legal Register Centre (known in Finnish as Oikeusrekisterikeskus or ORK). While the UK uses a centralized service (DBS) to issue various levels of criminal record checks, Finland manages this process through the ORK, which issues specific Criminal Record Extracts (rikostaustaote) depending on the job.
