I have a large number of drivers in my business; can I pay for their SLP ID card application with a company credit card?

A driver’s supervisor or manager can make the ID application on behalf of the driver and the manager can use a company credit card to complete payment.

Ensure the driver’s email address and/or mobile number is included in the online application information so he is sent an email or text message with his unique ID number.  If you set a password for him, please advise him of this also as he will need the Username (ID Number) and Password to access his online profile and to log on to complete his terminal assessment.

Please check the following:

  • check your SLP contact details are correct? (ID cards are sent to your postal address)

    • if the ID image is not suitable, a card will not be produced or posted
