For delivery fleets, logistics, ride-hailing and any role that puts someone behind a wheel, a valid licence is a safety and liability requirement, not a formality. This API checks the licence number and date of birth against the transport authority and returns the record as it stands today.
Because validity and vehicle classes come back explicitly, you can enforce policy rules automatically: expired licences are blocked, and a two-wheeler licence is not accepted for a light commercial vehicle role.
Confirm a driving licence is valid, current and permits the right vehicle class.
Prove that every driver held a valid licence for the vehicle class at the time of onboarding.
Validity dates let you schedule renewals and re-verify before a licence lapses.
Match permitted classes to the role automatically instead of reading licence cards by hand.
Built for thousands of gig sign-ups a day without a manual queue.
