Tired of Driver Licence Check Headaches?

There's a Smarter Way!

Umar Aziz

Frustrated with Licence Checks
Keeping your drivers legal and compliant is absolutely vital for any UK business operating vehicles. Regular driver licence checks are a cornerstone of this. While the government's online service exists, it can be a real pain – time-consuming and cumbersome. This blog post walks you through the manual process, highlighting its frustrations, and then introduces a game-changing solution: Licencecheck.org.

The Manual Grind: A Step-by-Step Guide (and its Agonies)

The official gov.uk website lets drivers share their UK driving licence information. Sounds simple, right? Think again. Here's the reality:

  1. Driver Generates a Check Code: The driver has to go to the gov.uk website and create a "check code." This grants you temporary access to their driving record. They need their licence details handy, and it's another task for them.

  2. Driver Shares the Code: They then have to get this code to you – email, phone, carrier pigeon… the method doesn't matter, the delay does.

  3. Driver Signs a Declaration (D906/ADD): Even with the code, they must sign a D906/ADD declaration. This gives you ongoing permission to access their info. This legal requirement is often the biggest headache of the lot.

  4. Employer Accesses the Record: You then have to go back to the gov.uk site, enter the code correctly (fingers crossed!), and finally see the record.

  5. Record Review: At last, you can see their endorsements, penalty points, and expiry date. But only for that moment.

The Time Drain and Frustrations of Manual Licence Checks

This process is slow, especially with multiple drivers. Think about it:

  • Code Expiry: Codes vanish quickly. Miss the window, and the driver has to generate a new one. More delays.

  • Driver Availability: Chasing drivers for codes and signatures is a nightmare. They're busy, they forget, it's a hassle for everyone.

  • Manual Tracking: Juggling multiple drivers, check dates, code validity, and signed declarations is a logistical disaster waiting to happen.

  • No Continuous Monitoring: You only get a snapshot. What happens between checks? You’re in the dark.

  • D906/ADD Agony: Printing, signing, scanning, posting… the declaration process is archaic and inefficient.
