Automated driver licence checks for fleet operators

Keeping drivers properly licensed and qualified is a legal duty for every fleet — and a frontline defence for your Operator Licence. Our Driver Licence Checks service streamlines and automates that process, giving HGV, PSV and company-car operators continuous visibility of every driver's status without the manual admin.

The service runs checks automatically at intervals tailored to each driver's risk profile, flags issues the moment they appear, and stores a secure PDF audit trail you can produce on demand. Pricing is simple and transparent: £2.00 per driver, per check, with no hidden costs.

Simple, transparent pricing

There is one clear price and no setup fees or surprises.

• £2.00 per driver, per check — covers driving licence, Driver CPC and tachograph card
• 30-day free trial — try the service with no obligation

To put that in context, a fleet of 10 drivers could cost as little as £79.60 per year — roughly £6.63 a month — to keep fully monitored, with no additional hidden costs.

How the service works

1. Automated checks. Licences are verified automatically at intervals set by a comprehensive risk-assessment criteria, so compliance is maintained continuously without manual intervention.
2. Risk-assessment dashboard. Every check is monitored through a risk-based dashboard. Any discrepancy is flagged immediately, giving you a clear overview of each driver's risk status.
3. Instant alerts. Real-time notifications mean you always know the status of your drivers' licences and can act swiftly on any issue.
4. Secure documentation. A PDF report is generated for every check and stored securely, ready to produce for audits or a DVSA visit.

Why these checks matter

Driver licence checks are not optional. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act, the Corporate Manslaughter Act and the Road Traffic Act 1988, employers must regularly verify that staff who drive for work hold valid, appropriate licences. Failing to do so exposes your business to penalties, prosecution and reputational damage. As a delegated External Transport Manager or in-house team, these checks form a core part of a defensible compliance system.

Who needs to run driver licence checks?

• Operator Licence holders — HGV and PSV operators running vehicles under an O-Licence
• Fleet vehicle operators — companies providing vans, cars or taxis to employees
• Vehicle leasing and hire firms — confirming customers are legally entitled to drive
• Grey fleet managers — where staff use their own vehicles for work
