Why check a driver before they start?
- A driver is trusted with the people you care about most — children on the school run, parents on hospital visits — often with nobody else in the car.
- A licence that is expired, for the wrong vehicle class or not genuine is a risk to your family and can complicate an insurance claim after an accident. The Driving Licence Check confirms the licence number and validity as available on public transport department records.
- References from a previous employer are useful but easy to inflate. Records-based checks give you something independent to weigh them against.
What we check for a driver
5 checks, each with its own result in your report.
ID VerificationAadhaar / PAN / Voter ID
Is their ID genuine, and does it match the details they gave you?
Confirms the ID number and details shared match the format and information on record.
Looks at: UIDAI · NSDL · DigiLocker
Criminal VerificationCourt Record Check
Is there a court case in their name?
Searches publicly available court records under the name and details provided. A result is not proof of guilt, and no result found is not a guarantee that none exist.
Looks at: eCourts records
Police VerificationFIR Check
Is there a police complaint (FIR) in their name?
Checks for First Information Reports registered under the name and details provided, where publicly available. Coverage varies by jurisdiction.
Looks at: Public FIR records
Digital Address Check
Does the address they gave match available records?
Confirms the address shared against available digital and public records — not a visit to the location.
Looks at: Digital & public records
Added for drivers
Driving Licence Check
Is their driving licence real and still valid?
Confirms the driving licence number and validity as available on public transport department records.
Looks at: Transport department records
The Digital Address Check is not a home visit. Criminal Verification searches public court records — a result is not proof of guilt, and no result is not a guarantee none exist. Police Verification (FIR Check) coverage varies by city and doesn't include unreported cases. A report is never a guarantee of future behaviour.
Hiring a driver? Also do this
1
Look at the original licence
Check the vehicle class (for example, LMV for a car) and the validity date, then enter the exact licence number and date of birth so the check can match.
2
Do a road test
A records check can't tell you how someone drives. Take a test drive on your usual routes before you finalise.
3
Agree the basics in writing
Working hours, who bears traffic fines, and how the car may be used outside duty hours prevent disputes later.
4
A recommendation is not a check
Whoever introduced the driver, verify the person who will actually sit behind the wheel.

Yes, always. We send the driver a consent request on WhatsApp showing exactly which checks will run. Nothing is checked until they approve, and you pay only after they do — if they decline, you aren't charged.
Once the driver consents and you've paid, results are usually ready within minutes. If a source is temporarily unavailable, we keep retrying for up to 3 days, you can read a partial report meanwhile, and a check we can't complete is refunded.
No. A report is one input to your decision, not a guarantee.
