DVLA Reports

A DVLA report is a simple way to assess the suitability and reliability of candidates whose job may require them to drive a company vehicle and to gauge whether they will meet the safety criteria of the organization.

Including DVLA reports as part of your background screening program allows you to proactively manage risk and reduce liability and insurance costs by decreasing loss potential. The check will help you ascertain whether an individual has a valid licence, what types of vehicles they are permitted to drive, if they have any penalty points, or if they’ve been disqualified from driving. Information reported includes all impaired charges, a DVLA speeding check, and other driving offences as well as a cross-reference guide to help you decipher coding and information provided by the DVLA.

Why Perform a DVLA Check?

A DVLA check gives you visibility into the driving record of your new and existing drivers, allowing you to check if they meet your safety standards when they are expected to drive on behalf of your company. It helps provide you with confidence that they are qualified to represent your company while driving on the road.
