Home » dh Licence Check

Do you have staff who drive for work? If yes, your organisation is legally obliged to ensure that anyone driving for business purposes has a valid licence, which covers the relevant vehicle categories they are driving.
dh Licence Check receives driver data directly from the DVLA on request – the information is instantly displayed in the online system, with declarations lasting 3 years. The system has a clear dashboard overview and can reflect organisational hierarchy. Alerts are fully configurable to ensure you are proactively notified of driving licence information in accordance with your organisation’s requirements. The system is simple to use and provides a full audit trail, ensuring driver compliance.

dh Licence Check’s unique SNAP! Onboarding tool was created to streamline the licence checking process for companies who check their drivers’ licences on a regular basis.
The traditional approach to licence checking can be frustrating if the mandates are not completed correctly or contain errors such as spelling mistakes. Mandates can be rejected and the whole process can become very labour intensive.
SNAP! Onboarding, which is fully DVLA-approved, cuts though these issues by using a photo of the driver’s licence to accurately capture all the relevant information. The data is shared directly with DVLA and the formal licence check is completed within minutes.
dh Licence Check helps you comply with your legal obligations. Here’s how:
Three main Acts of Parliament, or primary legislation, govern the legal requirements of licence checking and driver validation for employers in the United Kingdom (separate but similar legislation applies in Northern Ireland):
If your organisation has people driving for business purposes, whether in a company vehicle or their own, you have a legal responsibility to check driving licences on a regular basis – or find out more here.
We have over 40 years’ experience in the logistics industry, with a hard-earned reputation for first class customer service and dedicated support. The dh Licence Check tool offers a range of convenient and unique features, to make licence checking easy.
Yes you can – The DVLA has a ‘Share my Licence’ service – once the driver gives you a Share my Licence code, you can log on to the DVLA portal within 21 days and access the record, as a one off. Please note you are not permitted to use ‘View my Licence’ service on the driver’s behalf.
Absolutely, we are more than happy to arrange a no obligation demo of the compliance and training portal to show you how it all works.
The service is charged per check, there are no admin or management fees for the licence check service.
We can display anything held on the driver’s licence by the DVLA. Please note some endorsements are only viewable for certain periods of time.
If there is a mismatch then the record will be withheld until the details are corrected. We can guide you through this process.
