How to check if my driving license is valid

Verify the Validity of a Drivers License

Are you a recruiter, employer or labour broker of staff who drive company vehicles?
Fraudulent drivers’ licenses are extremely common and easy to obtain. Individuals may have valid but expired licences. Motor vehicle accidents involving unlicensed staff attract legal and financial liability for the employer.

Do you issue credit for the purchase of motor vehicles?
Credit granters can easily be duped by fake motor vehicle licence holders, attracting financial risks.

Do you insure motor vehicles and drivers?
Issuing insurance cover for a fraudulently licensed driver could place you at risk financially and legally in the event of a motor vehicle accident.

Are you choosing moving companies to assist with your home or office move?
Your personal and company assets are valuable both to you and to would-be fraudsters. Since not all companies check their employees thoroughly you could lose all your valuable assets in an accident or theft by driver without a license or with a criminal record.

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions FraudCheck has the answer for you.
