The legal regulations on owner’s liability oblige fleet managers to regularly check driver’s licenses. For many fleet managers, this translates to huge expenditure of time, money and often complicated documentation. With Carano’s driver’s license validataion, you can carry out the driver’s license check of company car drivers regardless of location. This saves effort, minimizes costs and offers drivers a great deal of flexibility.
After creating the inspection intervals, you and the drivers are automatically notified of upcoming and overdue appointments
In addition to validation using the smartphone app, visual inspection or manual control at selected locations via USB stick is also possible
All results are stored in a traceable manner and serve as proof of the tests performed in the event of a claim.
With Carano’s electronic driver’s license check, fleet managers can quickly and securely check the driver’s licenses of company car drivers. The special feature: Thanks to the notification function, both fleet managers and drivers are always informed and cumbersome coordination is no longer necessary.
With the USB stick, you can securely check drivers’ licenses at various locations even without a smartphone.
The manual inspection on site allows fleet managers an additional control possibility and preservation of the owner liability obligations.
The data of all drivers are created in the system by the fleet manager. This is followed by the application of an NFC sticker to the driver’s license.
Using a USB stick, the data is uploaded into the app and linked to the driver.

The obligation to carry out the driver’s license check in the vehicle fleet can be derived from § 21 of the Road Traffic Act (StVG). If the driver’s license check is not carried out at all or only irregularly, the fleet management is threatened with severe fines, loss of insurance and, in the worst case, even criminal consequences. Therefore, it is recommended that driver’s licenses be checked at least twice a year and before each first trip.
According to the Road Traffic Regulations, the vehicle owner is obliged to be in possession of a valid driving license when driving a vehicle. This means that a person responsible for a vehicle fleet must regularly check the validity of all driver’s licenses of company car drivers. Failure to comply could result in severe penalties in the event of a claim. According to section 21 of the StVG, the penalty ranges from a fine to imprisonment for up to one year.
A manual check is time-consuming and usually involves a great deal of organization. This is usually difficult to implement, especially for decentralized fleets. An electronic driver’s license check via app is possible at any time and regardless of the driver’s location.
An NFC tag is a chip that can transmit certain data. NFC, short for Near Field Communication, is an internationally recognized standard that stands for wireless data exchange of a few centimeters. With an NFC sticker, you have the option of transferring data or activating or deactivating certain functions.
In the electronic driver’s license validation, a chip with an NFC sticker is attached to the driver’s license, which can then be used to initialize the data and, in the further course, to check the driver’s license.
Drivers should immediately report a damaged NFC tag to the fleet manager, as the data cannot be read out with a defective chip, making it impossible to check the driver’s license.
The test results of Carano’s electronic driver’s license check are documented in a complete and traceable manner, so that fleet managers can prove that they have fulfilled their liability obligations as vehicle owner.
The inspection intervals are not prescribed by law, so fleet managers can decide for themselves how often an inspection should take place each year. However, a semi-annual check-up is recommended. With the help of Carano’s electronic driver’s license validation, you can determine the inspection intervals yourself. The software then automatically creates the corresponding follow-up appointments.
You can use the electronic driver’s license validation as a desktop and as a smartphone app, with iOS and Android.
