## What the DL Advanced API does

DL Advanced returns the full driving licence record: personal details, every vehicle class held, validity periods and any endorsements recorded against the licence.

Endorsements are the field that matters for commercial operators. They record hazardous goods permissions and similar authorisations, and assigning a driver work they are not endorsed for is a genuine liability.

## Where teams use the DL Advanced API

1.  Full driver verification for commercial fleets
    
2.  Checking hazardous goods and special endorsements
    
3.  Comprehensive licence due diligence
    
4.  Confirming complete vehicle entitlements before assignment
    

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are endorsements?

Additional authorisations recorded on a licence, such as permission to carry hazardous goods. They matter for commercial assignment.

When should I use this over DL Basic?

When entitlements and endorsements affect what work the person may legally do. Basic suffices for identity confirmation.

Does it show violation history?

No. Use E-Challan Details for traffic violations, which are recorded against the vehicle.
