Driver’s license verification service
If you are a Canadian business who operates motor vehicles then you have to ask yourself:
Do your drivers hold a valid driver’s license?
Are your drivers under suspension?
Are your drivers required to have an interlock?
Do your drivers have a fraudulent license?
Do your drivers have the correct class of license?
If you’re not sure about any of these answers then look no further. We can get them for you. We are the only company that can check any driver license from any jurisdiction in Canada. We are cost effective and real time.
Don’t risk your good name!
One accident with an unlicensed driver behind the wheel of your vehicle can ruin your company’s good reputation and see your insurance premiums skyrocket out of sight!
Don’t risk it!
Have everyone who drives your company vehicles driver’s licence checked regularly.
Insurance and the government require regular driver’s license checks
Insurance and government bodies require quarterly checks of all drivers. This often means obtaining driver abstracts which can be costly. By pulling driver abstracts twice a year and doing a driver’s license check twice a year you more then satisfy your insurance and the government.
Some facts from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation
- Approximately 2.3 per cent of all fatal and injury crashes in Ontario involve drivers with suspended or revoked licences.
- Annually, Ontario issues approximately 17,000 licence suspensions related to driving with a blood alcohol concentration over .08 and/or for failing/refusing to provide a breath sample.
- Vehicles can already be taken off the road for a minimum of 45 days if individuals are caught driving while under suspension for a conviction under the Criminal Code.
- Between April 1, 2009 and March 31, 2010, the Family Responsibility Office suspended 3,965 driver’s licenses in Ontario.
Why should you do a driver’s license check?
It’s simple, an unlicensed driver is a liability your company can’t afford to have. Not only are they involved in more accidents, you as a company are risking:
- Increased insurance rates
- Increased vehicle repair and replacement costs
- Increased legal risks, liability and costs
- Business interruptions
- Vehicle impoundments
We do a driver’s licence check and will verify your driver to ensure they hold a valid drivers license for the class of vehicle they are operating and that it is not under suspension or otherwise invalid. By using Verx technology, we are the only company that can check any Canadian drivers license any time at a cost effective price.

Ontario has implemented Bill 126 which has far reaching implications for all businesses here in Ontario who have motor vehicles.
The new 7-day vehicle impoundment will apply to drivers whose licenses are suspended for:
* Driving while under certain Highway Traffic Act license suspensions including non-payment of family support
* Driving with a blood alcohol concentration over .08 (beyond the legal limit) or for failing/refusing to provide a breath sample
*Driving without an ignition interlock device when one is required
Commercial carriers will be given an exemption to the 7-day impoundment of their vehicles if the driver has been suspended for under 100 days.
For a low fee, we can verify any driver for you on any schedule that suits your business. Weekly, monthly, quarterly, whatever suits your personal needs. Don’t get caught out in the cold by having a suspended driver behind the wheel of your vehicle!
