### What a valid licence can still hide

The free page tells you a licence exists and is **valid**. That
is where most checks stop. Here is what sits behind that word, among the
**68,588 valid licences** in the DVSA export of
7 September 2026:

| **31,794** (46 %) | are
**Restricted**: they may carry the operator's own goods, but not
other people's goods (gov.uk). An operator you hire to move your load needs a
Standard licence. |
|---|---|
| **729** | are held by a
company in **liquidation, in administration, being struck off** or under
a voluntary arrangement, according to Companies House on
1 October 2026. |
| **239** | carry a company
number that is **not among live companies** at Companies House: the
company was dissolved, or the number on the licence is wrong. |
| **636** | are held by a
company whose **accounts are more than two weeks overdue**. |
| **585** | are Standard
licences with **no transport manager named** — a Standard licence must
have one (gov.uk). |
| **58** | transport
manager **names appear for more than 4 operators** — the limit for a
freelance transport manager (gov.uk). A shared name is not always the same
person: the report says so. |
| **469** | licences
**changed status, type or fleet** between the exports of
18 August 2026 and 7 September 2026. |

None of this is on the licence page, and none of it is on one page anywhere.
The report checks your operator against every line of this table — and says
plainly when nothing calls for a question. These figures are recomputed from the
registers each time the page is rebuilt.

### What the report contains

- **Points to check**, most serious first — or the plain
statement that nothing in the three registers calls for a question;
- the licence **explained**: what its type allows, what its
status means, continuation date, vehicles and trailers authorised and in use,
and how its fleet compares with others of the same type;
- the **operating centres**, with their full addresses;
- the **people the DVSA names on the licence** — transport
manager, directors or partners — and, for each transport manager, how many
operators, licences and vehicles carry the same name in the register;
- the **company at Companies House**: status, incorporation,
registered office, activity, accounts and confirmation statement — overdue or
not —, outstanding charges, previous names;
- the **waste carrier registration** under the same company
number, with its tier and expiry;
- **what changed** on the licence between two DVSA exports;
- every rule quoted from gov.uk, with the page it comes from, and the date of
each source.

### An example

A real report on a large Standard International licence, with the names of
the people replaced by a placeholder — names appear only in the report you
order, never on this site.

### Order

£19 per licence. We send the PDF first, then a payment link — card: nothing
is paid on this site, and nothing before you have the document.

### Who prepares it

Yannick Schweizer, Avenue de Chillon 78, 1820 Territet, Switzerland — an
independent service, not affiliated with the DVSA, the Traffic Commissioners,
Companies House or the Environment Agency. Sources: DVSA operator licence
records, Companies House, Environment Agency register of waste carriers — all
under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

### Limits

The report is not an official record: the DVSA's vehicle operator licensing
service and Companies House are authoritative, and a change made after the
export dates is not in it. It does not cover the operator's compliance risk
score, public inquiry history, MOT results or insurance.
