Four steps. About two minutes of admin.
Scan their licence
Photograph the front and their name, date of birth, sex and address fill in. Or type them - your choice.
They consent on their phone
We email them a secure link. They scan their own licence and confirm - done in under two minutes.
We check with DVLA
Entitlements, penalty points and disqualifications, straight from the source.
You get a verdict
Pass, concern or fail - then automatic re-checks every three months, tightening to monthly as penalty points build.
Scan the licence and the details fill in for you.
You scan it. On your phone, or from your computer by QR code to your phone. Details fill in; nothing to retype.
They scan it too. The driver scans their own licence to consent. The number can only come from someone holding the card.
Kept as your evidence. The driver's card photos are encrypted and kept as proof you saw them. Your own scan is deleted once read.
Verdicts you can read at a glance.
Employers are liable when an unlicensed driver goes out in a company vehicle. DV Check keeps the evidence trail - who consented, when they were checked, and exactly what DVLA said - so the answer is never “let me find the spreadsheet”.
- Pass
Licence valid, points below your threshold. Nothing to do - the next check is already scheduled.
- Concern
Still legal, but needs attention: rising points or a licence near expiry. Re-checks tighten automatically as the points build.
- Fail
Disqualified, revoked or expired. You know before they get in a vehicle, with the DVLA record to show for it.
Built for a real fleet, not just cars.
24 driving roles
From company car to HGV articulated to tractor. Each driver is checked against the entitlement their roles need.
CPC and tachograph cards
Checked with DVLA where a role requires them. A tacho card shows in DVLA's own words: expired, lost, withdrawn.
Your own checking policy
Set how often drivers are checked and where the points bands sit. Start from a preset labelled with the standard it meets: Traffic Commissioners, FORS, Driving for Better Business, RoSPA.
Red, amber, green drivers list
Search, and filter by licence and right to drive. The reason behind every amber or red is on the driver’s page.
Pay per check. Nothing else.
Buy credits up front; each check - manual or scheduled - uses one. No subscription, no per-driver fee, no minimum term. Your first check is free.

All guidesProvisional vs full driving licence: the difference
What a provisional licence lets someone drive, how it differs from a full licence, and what employers must check before putting a driver in a vehicle.
How a UK driving licence number is made up
The 16-character UK driving licence number decoded: surname, date of birth, the +50 rule for women, initials and check digits — with a worked example.
Penalty points and endorsement codes (SP30, IN10, DR10)
UK endorsement codes and penalty points: what SP30, IN10, DR10 and the rest mean, how long they stay on a licence, and when points add up to a ban.
How often should employers check driving licences?
There is no single legal interval — but there is a defensible one. Risk-based checking frequencies for fleets, and why annual checks are rarely enough.
