Why Is Driver License Verification Important For Businesses?

Why Is Driver License Verification Important For Businesses

Table of Contents

The driving license is an administrative document that gives the right to a person to legally drive a vehicle on public roads. A driving license not only authorizes an individual to legally drive on public roads but is also used as proof of identity, age, and address in non-driving contexts. It is an equivalent of other forms of personal identification documents like Aadhaar cards, passports, PAN, Voter IDs, etc. 

But with the advent of time, counterfeiters/fraudsters are becoming smart as they are utilising duplicate/forged driver licenses to dodge the identification process. A driving license is one of the most easily forged documents. 

Rise of Fake/Duplicate Driving Licenses

Government data estimates that every third driving license in India is a fake document. The Road Transport and Highways Minister – Nitin Gadkari said in Parliament that about 30% of driving licenses in India are fake. Out of 18 crore driving licenses, an estimated 5.4 crore of them fall under the “bogus” category.

Fake or duplicate driving licenses can lead to a substantial increase in identity theft causing an imminent threat to a business’s reputation and financial assets – especially in industries such as Shared Mobility, Delivery & Logistics, Transportation, and much more. It is difficult to identify spurious and falsified driving licenses with the naked eye.
