About Driver Check
Driver Check is a safe and secure website set up by Waka Kotahi. It lets companies make sure they only have appropriately- licensed drivers driving their company vehicles. -
Information that can be released through Driver Check
Driver Check lets the company or service provider you work for (usually a nominated staff member) see the:
• licence classes you hold (eg a class 4 licence to drive heavy trucks)
• licence endorsements you hold (eg a D endorsement to carry dangerous goods)
• conditions on your licence (eg if you have to wear glasses or contact lenses while driving)
• status of your licence (eg current, expired, limited, suspended, disqualified, revoked or reinstated).
If you’re added to the driver list for this company, Waka Kotahi will automatically let them know if any of the above information about your driver licence changes.
The company can only access Driver Check if they’ve agreed to the Waka Kotahi terms and conditions. Those terms and conditions include meeting the requirements in the Privacy Act 2020. If the company doesn’t meet the terms and conditions, they could have their Driver Check access removed. -

• have your written consent before they access your licence record

• give you a copy of that written consent if you ask for it

• have your permission before releasing any information gathered through Driver Check to any third party. -
