ComplyCube, a global RegTech100 solution, is proud to announce that it has become the first UK DIATF-certified Identity Service Provider (IDSP) to offer a real-time driver license check of driver entitlements, endorsements, and disqualifications through the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) API.
This innovative integration enhances the platform’s capability to deliver precise and secure driver credential verification services, particularly benefiting industries such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS), where comprehensive driver background checks are essential.
The Mobility as a Service (MaaS) Sector
In 2023, the transportation sector was identified as one of the top five industries most impacted by identity fraud, underscoring the critical need for effective identity verification and Know Your Customer (KYC) processes. Addressing this challenge, ComplyCube’s integration with the DVLA API allows businesses to instantly verify driving license validity directly from the DVLA’s authoritative database. This real-time access ensures that the data is accurate and current and significantly enhances services operating in the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) sector.
The DVLA, a UK government organization responsible for maintaining driver and vehicle records, provides a crucial service through its API by enabling the authentication of key driver data points. With this integration, ComplyCube allows businesses to confirm the validity of driving licenses, check for records of infractions and penalties, and assess any restrictions on the types of vehicles a driver is permitted to operate. This comprehensive driver assurance process is vital for ensuring both the competency and the authenticity of the drivers’ credentials and information.
With real-time DVLA checks, we deliver unmatched accuracy and security in up-to-date driver assurances.
Mohamed Alsalehi, Chief Technology Officer at ComplyCube, emphasized the importance of this development, stating, “With real-time DVLA checks, we deliver unmatched accuracy and security in up-to-date driver assurances. This integration showcases our dedication to providing top-tier security by leveraging the most reliable sources to combat fraud and ensure full compliance for our clients.”
Precise Driver License Check Screening
ComplyCube’s driver authentication solution, now enhanced by the DVLA integration, facilitates rapid and precise driver screening. This is particularly crucial for sectors such as MaaS, vehicle hire, fleet management, logistics, delivery, and ride-hailing, where driver suitability and competence are critical for safety and compliance. The integration allows for a full background check, including verifying the driver’s credentials, such as license validity and driving history, to ensure that only qualified and legitimate drivers are cleared, thereby enhancing safety and trust in the industry.
Our integration with the DVLA API is transformative for the Mobility industry
“Our integration with the DVLA API is transformative for the Mobility industry,” said Harry Varatharasan, Chief Product Officer at ComplyCube. “By enabling real-time checks, we empower businesses to make quick, informed decisions, which in turn enhances safety and builds customer trust.
