IMPORTANCE OF DRIVERS’ PERMISSION to check their driving licence on DriverCheck
IMPORTANCE OF DRIVERS’ PERMISSION to check their driving licence on DriverCheck
GDPR, the EU legislation for data protection, was introduced in 2018. DriverCheck require ALL drivers to complete a D906 fair processing form OR E-Declaration every 3 YEARS to allow their permission to check their licence status. At the end of a 3-year period a request will be issued to extend their permission for a further 3 years.
How clients prepare
All drivers can provide their permission by completing an invite via a secure link which they receive by email to their nominated inbox, known as E-Declaration. This simple process replaces the need to complete a paper form (D906) which needs to be scanned/posted to DriverCheck.
It would be beneficial and more efficient for all driver records, on DriverCheck, to contain a current email address, which can either be:
- Edited into the driver’s record in your Web Portal (by the Client or by DriverCheck) OR
Provide a drivers’ list, containing the drivers’ names and email addresses, and sending this to admin@drivercheck.co.uk , on an excel spreadsheet.
If a driver does not have an email address, the D906 fair processing paper declaration may still be completed.

Important Steps
- Please review your drivers’ data on DriverCheck and where possible ensure that all drivers have either a work or personal email address recorded on the portal.
- Please communicate to your drivers that they will have to extend their licence checking permission every 3 years. They will either receive an email invite from DriverCheck to do so, or they will have to complete a paper D906, as it is a MANDATORY REQUIREMENT to receive a driver’s permission to check their licence status.
Thank you for your help and co-operation with the above.
