With the rollout of the Department of Transport and Planning’s Ballarat digital driver licence pilot this July your business may soon be checking a driver licence via a phone instead of a physical card.
Ballarat based dealerships selling vehicles and workshops with a vehicle loan fleet are encouraged to accept a digital driver licence through either Service Victoria or myVicRoads apps.
Information resources have been developed for businesses to share with staff for how to check new digital driver licences.
A digital driver licence displays a customer's licensing details held on the Victorian Licensing Registry via their mobile device.
There are three levels of information you can check on a digital driver licence:
- check a full driver licence
- confirm someone’s identity, or
- check that a person is over 18.
For more information visit Service Victoria and VicRoads.
