FAQ 22 How long before I get a response from the first application to the Uniting Church?

The Screening Services Unit must initiate the request with the DHS upon which you will receive an email from the DHS to begin the verification of your identity. Screening Services only process applications during business hours.

After you submit your information to the DHS, they will then send an email to you and the Uniting Church when your Screening is at the ‘Record review and evaluation’ stage and/or when you have been cleared.

Please note that the DHS has advised of possible processing time of six weeks, though you may receive your check in a more timely manner.
