About 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 rooted 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.

Are app developers employed by the Irish state only developing apps that work on Apple! First the passport app and now this on! Whoever signed off on these apps should be sacked. Amazingly bad. I would be embarrassed if i was involved in the design of this app.

Warning: This app sends your private data (a list of apps you have installed and phone data) to an unknown country (Norton Mobile Security). This data mining is totally unnecessary.

Would be great if it became mandatory and enforced properly. Still thousands of taxis not registered.

App was working in a previous build but now, since update, is stuck on the screen where it asks you to enter info. As such, the app is useless. Totally useless.

This is very useful but could be improved. It should be possible to communicate a complaint about or a message to the driver via the App.

Cant report and lots of drivers not on board some one somewhere is doin their jobs worth

K70%
by K####:

This should be made available for download outside of Ireland so that tourists can use this app when they visit and report when they are been lead a stray by a taxi.

M70%
by M####:

Only useful for sober people and the IT savvy .judging by the few downloads its only used by cabbies. also there is no tracking number for the report,and no way of knowing if the rumoured enforcement officers actually exist. The Regulators office is to celebrate ten years in July, I haven't seen an officer ONCE in that time, we live in hope.
