## What is Driver Check?

Ireland’s taxi driver check app is a new service from the National Transport Authority that allows taxi users to verify that the vehicle they are about to hire has been registered correctly and that the driver has the appropriate licence to operate the vehicle. Users can search by the car registration number, the vehicle taxi licence number, the driver licence number or by scanning appropriate QR codes. The current driver and vehicle information can be displayed to help ensure user’s safety. If information is incorrect, it’s possible to submit a report. There is also the facility to email a friend with trip details.

Please be advised that personal user data may be compromised through the use of this application on a jail broken device.

Coverage:
Ireland’s licenced taxis, hackneys, limos and PSVs are covered by this app including rural locations as well as cities such as Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, and Waterford. Please note, some drivers have yet to register with the checker so they will not appear until such time as they have.

### 2/5 — Works only on WiFi

*2026-07-08*

App only works on WiFi, it stays on the loading screen on cellular data even with 5G and full bars. Lets you look up the roof sign number, Car registration number, and the Driver license number. But if you disconnect from WiFi and stay on celluar data the app stops working and you can’t look anything up.

### 1/5 — App does now work

*2025-04-21*

Absolutely rubbish app, once opened it does not move from the landing page. To add insult injury the website does not even work. Clearly this organisation has no regard for people’s worries and concerns.
