There's guidance to help you complete a paper application from. You can also contact Disclosure Scotland.

Care of address

We need the applicant's written consent to send the basic disclosure certificate to an address other than their home address. For example, a care of (c/o) address.

They must also consent for the recipient to open and view the contents of the certificate before the applicant or person sees it.

You need to include this written consent with the paper application form.
