About DV Check
DV Check is a UK service that automates DVLA driving licence checking for employers. It exists because the alternative, in most businesses, is a spreadsheet and good intentions.
Who it’s for
Fleet and transport managers, and the HR and compliance staff who carry the same duty: the people personally accountable if an unlicensed driver goes out in a company vehicle. Their job is to prove every driver is legal to drive, with as little admin as the proof allows. DV Check is built for exactly that job — and for the drivers themselves, who consent once, on their phone, in under two minutes.
What it does
Add a driver, assign the role they drive — anything from company car to HGV articulated, across the full DVLA category taxonomy — and DV Check collects their consent, runs the check against DVLA, and returns a plain pass, concern or fail verdict. Then it keeps checking, on a schedule that tightens as penalty points build, so the answer stays true without anyone maintaining a diary.
How it makes money
Prepaid check credits — each check uses one, and if DVLA can’t return an answer the credit is refunded. No subscription, no per-driver fee, no sales call. The model is deliberate: you pay for answers, and only for answers. How pricing works.
Built in the UK, for UK rules
The data source is DVLA, the hosting is in London, and the product speaks the language of UK licensing — categories, endorsement codes, CPC, tachograph cards. The details of how driver data is protected are on the security page, and the wider subject is covered plainly in the guides.
