What is a “Driving Licence Endorsements and Entitlements” Activity Type?

A Driving Licence Endorsements and Entitlements Activity Type is a check on a Subject’s DVLA record. It takes their licence number and returns any entitlements and endorsements they may have. Giving the requester information such as the number of points on the licence, any restrictions, and an idea of what the individual is allowed to drive.

To prevent the need to use a share code on the DVLA website, Personnel Checks offer the ability to complete these necessary checks directly from our web application. These can also be run on a regular basis using our Cycles and Subscriptions feature.
