Automated Driver Licence Checks
How licence checks work
A simple, consent-based process that keeps every driver’s licence check recorded in one place.
- 01
Driver gives consent
The driver signs their D906 declaration, giving permission for their licence to be checked.
- 02
Licence is checked
TecHGV checks the driver’s licence information through the integrated DVLA licence-checking process.
- 03
Review the results
See the driver’s licence status, categories, endorsements and penalty points in a clear summary.
- 04
Stay on top of it
Automated reminders flag upcoming checks and consent renewals before they are missed.
Simplify Licence Checks
Manage driver licence checks through TecHGV.
Instead of collecting paper forms and checking licences one by one, transport managers can run checks from the same platform they use to manage drivers, vehicles and compliance.
Monitor Driver Compliance
Review licence information, endorsements and penalty points.
Each driver’s licence summary brings the details that matter together, so you can quickly see whether a driver holds the right entitlement and whether anything needs a closer look.
Track Licence Status
Identify drivers whose licence status requires attention.
Clear status indicators show which licences are valid, which are due for renewal and which need action, helping managers prioritise follow-up across the whole driver list.
Manage Consent
Record driver consent and maintain associated consent documentation.
Drivers can complete their declaration digitally, and the signed consent and its validity are stored against the driver’s record, ready when you need to show it.
Support Ongoing Monitoring
Keep track of licence checks and compliance requirements.
Upcoming licence checks, consent renewals and related compliance dates appear in one schedule, with reminders sent to the transport manager so nothing slips through.
