Service Charges
AccessNI operates on a full cost recovery basis. This means that AccessNI charges customers a fee for Disclosures in order to support the services it provides
There is a charge for every Disclosure Application except those Applications falling within the definition of a volunteer.
In addition, organisations must pay a one-off Registration Fee to enable them to use AccessNI’s services.
AccessNI charges for the following services:
- Basic Disclosures (£26).
- Standard Disclosures (£26).
- Enhanced Disclosures (£30).
- Registration of an organisation which includes the equivalent of managing Registered Body details and an Enhanced Check on the Lead Signatory (£150).
- Registration of each Counter-signatory (£10).
AccessNI does not charge for:
- Disclosure Checks for volunteers who meet the criteria.
- Advice and assistance to Applicants and Registered Bodies.
- Removal of Counter-signatories.
AccessNI reserves this right to amend this pricing structure.
How Registered Bodies pay for Disclosures:
- Registered Bodies (RBs) must pay for disclosures 'On Account'.
- An invoice will be issued at the end of each transacting period. This will give the details of every application processed and the signatory for each.
- Invoices are payable within 30 calendar days of the date of the invoice - RBs should endeavour to settle invoices by electronic means.
- AccessNI reserves the right to review the registraton status of organisations that, after a reasonable period of time, fail to pay outstanding amounts owed.
- Lead and Counter-signatory's registered status can be removed for payment defaults.
