Driver Licence Checking for Employers

We make it easy for fleet operators to meet their legal obligation to check the driving licence status of their drivers.
dh Licence Check will save you time and money.

Featuring regular, automated licence checks, an instant overview of all drivers, a permanent audit trail and the ability to quickly review individual driver details, this is a quick and easy tool to simplify your fleet operations.

Gaining driver consent is easy too. Our SNAP! Onboarding tool allows you to set things up with just your phone, using a photo of each driver’s licence. Other convenient options include SMS, paper and digital forms.

Fully customisable, dh Licence Check can be configured to carry out driver checks at a schedule to suit your business needs – for example checking some drivers every 3 months and some every 6 months, depending on risk profile. This can be targeted right down to a team or even single driver level.

  • Auditable – Your portal keeps all records in one place, ensuring a online audit trail is always available.
