For a large and busy fleet management
company, it can be very difficult to keep ahead and on top of things,
validating employees driving licences can be one of those issues. It’s a long
process if you conduct your driving licence checks manually and some employees
can easily slip the net in terms of being checked and validated. If something
goes wrong, your business may need to pay huge penalties depending on the
severity of the issue. Hence, having a
driving licence checking service in place for your organisation allows you to
check your employees who drive on company business, to make sure they
hold a valid UK licence.
One solution to this problem is to find
a way to validate and monitor driver/licence data accurately and quickly. At
Licence Check, they have introduced a validation service into their davis
platform where companies can carry out driver identity checks by simply
capturing the data from the licence card. This validation process helps to identify
forged documents. The Licence CDR (Card Data Reader) is a simple software used
for this validation process.
Role of The Licence CDR in Driving Licence Checking and Validation
The Licence Card Data Reader reads the
licence information in a single pass. You just need to drop the card into the
device reader and it reads both the sides simultaneously. The Licence CDR uses
ultraviolet light technology for identifying forged data and captures photos
and holograms from the ID card. If all the information read is correct, it then
automatically uploads it to the internal system, where it gets stored as a part
of driver's record. It has a capacity to read records of multiple formats, such
as international identity cards.
