APPLICATION TRACKING

Track Your Application

Enter your reference number and email to check your application status in real time.

Once you’ve submitted an application, Track Status is where you can check exactly what stage it’s at, rather than waiting on an update email that may take a few days to land.

Every application moves through the same five stages after submission: received, in review, processing, approved, and delivered. Checking your status just needs your reference number and the email address you applied with — both are in your confirmation email, sent immediately after you apply.

If you can’t find your confirmation email, checking your spam or promotions folder first is worth doing before contacting support, since automated confirmation emails occasionally land there depending on your email provider’s filtering. If it genuinely isn’t there, our support team can locate your reference from your name and application details instead.

Enabling SMS notifications when you apply means you get real-time updates as your application moves between stages, without needing to check the tracker manually — useful if you’re waiting on a time-sensitive licence for a job start date or booked test.

If your status hasn’t moved for longer than the standard timeframe for your service type, that doesn’t necessarily mean something has gone wrong — some stages, particularly anything involving a DVLA medical assessment or a third-party check like an enhanced DBS, depend on external processing times outside our control. Contacting support with your reference number is still the fastest way to get a specific answer rather than guessing from the tracker alone.

Each stage in the tracker reflects where your application genuinely is, not an estimate — when you see “Processing,” your documents have already passed our initial review and are actively being handled, not sitting in a queue.

If you applied through a referral link or as part of a bulk/fleet application, your reference number format may look slightly different from a standard individual application — that’s normal, and the tracker will still recognise it correctly.

We recommend bookmarking your tracking link once you’ve located your application, so you can check back quickly without needing to re-enter your reference number and email each time you want an update.

We built this tracker specifically so you’re never left wondering whether your application has actually been received or is quietly sitting somewhere unprocessed — every stage update reflects a genuine change in your application’s status, checked and confirmed on our end before the tracker updates.

If you’ve applied for more than one service with us at the same time, each application gets its own separate reference number and tracks independently, so checking on one doesn’t affect or delay the other.

Bookmarking this page once you’ve entered your details once means you can return to check progress in seconds, rather than needing to dig out your confirmation email every time you want an update.

Delivered means your documents have been dispatched and are on their way to you — at that point there’s nothing further for you to do except wait for them to arrive.
