We’re pleased to introduce our latest major update: Licence Entitlement Verification, a new feature which is available within the CheckedSafe platform.

This feature has been designed to help fleets identify situations where a driver may not hold the correct licence entitlement for the vehicle they’re checking.

When a driver completes a vehicle check, CheckedSafe automatically compares the vehicle’s DVLA classification with the driver’s most recent driving licence check result. If a potential entitlement mismatch is identified, the system instantly sends notifications to nominated users, allowing the issue to be reviewed.

Why is this important?

Managing driver licence entitlements can be challenging, particularly within larger fleets operating a variety of vehicle types. While regular licence checks are an essential part of compliance, it can still be difficult to identify whether a driver is using a vehicle that falls outside their permitted licence categories.

Licence Entitlement Verification provides an additional layer of protection by automatically monitoring this in the background and alerting the relevant people when a potential issue is detected.

Key benefits include:

  • Immediate visibility of potential licence entitlement issues
  • Reduced risk of unauthorised vehicle use
  • Improved compliance and duty of care
  • Greater confidence that drivers are operating vehicles they are legally entitled to drive
  • No additional administration or manual checking

Available at No Extra Cost

Licence Entitlement Verification is available as a free upgrade for customers who use both CheckedSafe’s Vehicle Compliance and Driving Licence Checking services.

Because the feature relies on vehicle classification data and driving licence information working together, both services must be active for the entitlement verification process to function.

As fleets continue to look for smarter ways to manage compliance and reduce risk, Licence Entitlement Verification provides another practical tool to help keep drivers, vehicles, and businesses protected.

If you’d like to take advantage of this new update for no extra cost, simply get in touch with our team.
