What is A Driver Licence Check

Your drivers must hold the correct licence and entitlements for the vehicles they operate. Regular driver licence checks help identify changes, restrictions or other issues that could affect a driver’s ability to carry out their role.

Nationwide Transport & Training can manage this important compliance task for you, ensuring checks are completed, recorded and followed up where necessary. This gives your business a clear record of driver licence status and provides your Transport Manager with reliable information to support ongoing compliance management.

Driver licence checking can also form part of a wider compliance programme, alongside services such as Compliance Management, Driver Vehicle Checks and other transport compliance support.

How Driver Licence Checking Works

Our driver licence checking service begins with you providing the required driver information and details needed to carry out the relevant checks. We then check each driver’s licence status and applicable entitlements, identifying and recording any changes, restrictions or potential issues that may require attention. The results of each check are maintained as part of your driver compliance records, helping to provide a clear and organised record of the checks undertaken. Where an issue is identified that requires further action, this can be brought to the attention of the appropriate person within your operation. Recurring checks can also be arranged to provide ongoing monitoring and continued visibility of driver licence status.

Whi Is Driver Licence Checking For?

Our driver licence checking service can support a wide range of transport operations, including HGV operators, bus and coach operators, businesses with an internal Transport Manager and those using an External Transport Manager. The service is suitable for businesses with larger driver workforces as well as smaller operators looking to reduce the administrative burden associated with compliance. It can also provide additional support for operators who require assistance with their wider compliance management responsibilities. The service can be tailored around the size, structure and individual requirements of your transport operation.
