Enhanced Developed Vetting (eDV)

Who needs it and what it provides access to

Enhanced Developed Vetting (eDV) is required for a very small number of posts where an additional level of assurance is required above DV. It can only be requested by a small number of Sponsors and only with prior agreement with UKSV and the Cabinet Office.

What checks are involved

The full review of personal finances will include an assessment of an individual’s assets, liabilities, income and expenditure both on an individual basis and taking into account the joint position with a spouse or partner.
