How verification works

The Safe Freight Program is an independent layer that lets a receiving site confirm a heavy-vehicle driver's or vehicle's current standing in the program — at the gate, in seconds. What someone can see depends on how they're checking. There are three levels.

1

Plate or ID lookup — anyone, no login

Type a vehicle's registration plate or its SFP number and see whether it's in the program and its current standing. This is the public, directory-level check: participation and standing only — never a person's details, inspection notes, or back-office data.

2

Scan the QR badge — anyone, no login

Each driver and vehicle carries a QR code. Scanning it opens that credential's badge — the driver's or vehicle's current standing, what's certified, and when it was last verified. The code is unguessable, so badges can't be harvested by guessing numbers.

3

Authorised sign-in — inspectors and administrators

Accredited inspectors and SFP administrators sign in to see and update the full record behind a credential. This is the only level that exposes detailed inspection history, and it requires a verified account.

Every result shows what was verified, when, and how — so a receiver can see standing at a glance, and rely on a dated, on-the-record check rather than a form filled in last year.
