Where driving licence verification fits
Connect this lookup to the application step where your team reviews the relevant record.
Fleet onboarding
Add a licence lookup while creating a driver record, so the operations team can review returned details before activation.
Delivery-partner registration
Connect DL checks to partner signup and route responses that need attention to an onboarding reviewer.
Existing driver review
Run a new lookup when your operational process calls for a review, and keep it associated with the correct driver record.
Integration
From access setup to application review
Keep request validation, response handling and approval rules explicit when integrating this lookup.
Confirm access and testing
Request API credentials and confirm testing arrangements with PeriOne before sending requests. Testing access depends on the API and your account.
Map the documented response
Use the current reference to map available fields. Handle API errors, unavailable results and mismatches without treating them as a successful verification.
Connect your review process
Attach the result to the correct application record, apply your review rules and confirm the next action with the responsible team.

Common Questions
Common Questions Before Getting Started
What inputs are needed for DL verification?
The documented /vahan/dl lookup uses the driving licence number and date of birth. Confirm field names and accepted formats in the signed-in reference.
How is this different from RC verification?
DL verification retrieves driving licence details for a driver. RC verification retrieves vehicle registration details using the vehicle number. They use separate endpoints.
Does a lookup automatically approve a driver?
No. Your application needs its own review and approval process. Confirm the response fields available to your access before implementing eligibility rules.
Is sandbox testing available?
Contact PeriOne to confirm testing arrangements for this API and your account before making requests. Sandbox availability needs to be confirmed during access setup.
