Driver Licence Check Services

Licence checking is now one of the simplest compliance checks operators and fleet managers can achieve easily, but it depends on the type of service you implement. Getting it wrong could be catastrophic for your business and expose you to significant legal claims. Firstly, do you have a policy for checking driving licences in your business?

If you don't have a driver's licence checking policy that you can evidence in a court of law or your company fails to follow your company policy or procedures you can be in deep legal waters. If any investigation is pursued by an authority or third party you need to evidence what process you follow. If you don't have a policy or licence checking procedure we suggest you start today.

Failing to get this legal compliance right can make a huge difference to your business. The use of third-party suppliers such as Triple Fleet has access to driver licence data available from the UK DVLA access to driver data (ADD) & Northern Ireland DVANI records using modern online software solutions removes the process of any manual solution that can be implemented and will save you huge amounts of time and money including the use of the 'Share My Driving licence' service offered by the DVLA which needs a share code from the driver for the company to check the driving licence. It's free at the point of use but relies on the driver's cooperation to access a code every time you want to check a licence - furthermore, the data sets available are different and reporting is manual, however, with a third-party software solution like Triple Fleet you only need permission from the driver once every 36 months, meaning you can check and recheck a driver licence at any point automatically on a regular schedule or with a click of a button - providing you have a business need in doing so and permission has not been removed.

It may also be worth considering some kind of driver training package to support those drivers at high risk
