How Complys works for taxi and private hire operators
Complys brings your driver and operator licensing, DBS, vehicle checks and insurance into one place and watches the dates for you, so you can show a complete, current picture whenever licensing or DVSA ask. Here is how it works, from adding your drivers and vehicles to staying audit-ready.
Adding your drivers and vehicles
You add your drivers, with their private-hire or hackney licences and enhanced DBS, and your vehicles, with their licences, plating and MOT. Each becomes a record that Complys watches, so instead of keeping it in your head you have a single view of your whole operation. It works the same for an owner-driver as for a fleet, with pricing that scales accordingly.
Licensing that never lapses
Driver licences, enhanced DBS and driver medicals are tracked with expiry reminders, so you always know which drivers are due what and nothing lapses unnoticed. This is the heart of taxi and private hire compliance, and letting the system watch the dates removes the risk of a driver working on a lapsed licence or an out-of-date check.
Vehicles and daily checks
Your vehicle licences, plating, MOT and hire-and-reward insurance are tracked with reminders, and daily vehicle checks are captured and recorded. Instead of paperwork that gets lost, you have a clear, dated history of your vehicles being kept legal and checked.
Records and readiness
Right to work, safeguarding awareness, complaints and maintenance records all sit in the same organised place, and the readiness view maps your position against licensing and DVSA expectations. When a licensing officer or DVSA ask, you can produce a complete, current picture rather than digging through files.
Day to day, and getting started
Complys works from a phone as well as the office, so drivers and vehicles can be checked and updated wherever you are, and the reminders keep you ahead of every renewal. It starts with a 30-day free trial and no card, so you can set up and see it working before deciding anything. Pricing scales from an owner-driver up to a larger operator, and the price you start on is locked in if prices rise later. Everything here is included in every tier, and you can be set up the same day.
DBS & taxi/PHV licensing
For taxi and private-hire drivers, the DfT statutory standards say licensing authorities should require an Enhanced DBS check with both barred lists, obtained through the licensing authority. Our DBS checks for drivers & transport guide explains how that differs from other driving roles.

Does it track driver DBS and licences?
Yes. Driver private hire and hackney licences, enhanced DBS and medicals are tracked with expiry alerts, so you always know which drivers are due what and nothing lapses.
What does it cost?
