Licence Check Limited was founded in 2008 by the current Managing Director Richard Brown. Richard had spent over 30 years working in various sectors of the motor trade for car dealerships and major manufacturers, including Ford, Mazda and General Motors. This included responsibilities for commercial fleet sales and business development.
Driving licence checking was originally just one of the services offered to fleet clients as part of a leasing and management package. With the introduction by the DVLA of an overnight electronic licence checking facility it became possible to offer licence checking as a cloud-based solution to a wider corporate audience with the underlying philosophy that where it made sense to do so, the service should intelligently manage all the routine administrative tasks. This philosophy remains core to the service today.
Originally based in Nottingham, we moved to new offices located close to Derby City Centre in early 2016. Since then, we have established ourselves as a leader and innovator in the licence verification industry and have expanded the product range under the davis brand to include other driver and vehicle related services.
We provide a real-time driving licence checking service using the DVLA Access to Driver Data (ADD) service under the LICENCHECK brand. The service is hosted on our own secure servers and uses a dedicated secure line to link to the DVLA in order to validate a driver’s entitlement to drive, the status of their licence and details of any effective motoring convictions.
“We provide organisations with real time driving licence checking and management solutions. Available 24/7 our service reduces business risk, promotes continuing compliance and saves time by automating essential tasks”
It is now recognised and widely accepted standard practice for companies in the UK who require or allow their employees to drive in the course of their employment to check the employee’s driving licence to confirm its validity and ensure that the licence entitlement is correct for the vehicle being used. This driving licence check and validation needs to be part of a regular checking routine that forms part of a driver management policy founded on driver risk profiles and the Company’s activities. As a general rule, those drivers with more points on their licence should be checked more frequently to ensure that they remain entitled to drive. Failure to perform this most basic of checks will be seen as a breach of the duty of care owed to other employees and road users as well as a breach of the statutory obligation under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. With increased fines running into millions of pounds and the possibility of key managers and directors being imprisoned for flagrant cases under the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007, there is really no excuse or justification not to perform this check – particularly given the availability of services such as LICENCECHECK to validate and manage drivers, and the
The LICENCECHECK service is a secure hosted service that allows companies to implement effective and cost efficient driving licence checking and validation of employee licences. But the service is much more than a simple method of driving licence verification. It also provides fleet managers and administrators with the tools and reports to manage their drivers by risk profile or driver type such that re-checks are carried out regularly and contemporaneously as part of an automated process. The service will flag up warnings, pending expirations and will automatically re-check following expiration dates to ensure that the driver continues to be lawfully entitled to drive a vehicle. LICENCECHECK will also manage the consent process so that employers will have the right to carry out an online driving licence check, as frequently as required, over the 3 year period for which the consent remains effective.
Team will also investigate and help resolve those cases where a request to the DVLA fails to return a result because the driver record has been suppressed.
For those companies employing vocational drivers, LICENCECHECK provides additional functionality by allowing CPC, Tacho Card, ADR, MiDAS and medical information and expiration dates to be manually entered into the driver record. Once the details have been included, they will be reported to managers in the same way as the other licence data.
