Driver ID cards

To comply with DfT rules and regulations, together with assisting haulage firms with the management of obtaining Driver ID cards, please note the below:-

Drivers MUST have the correct documentation to enter the Port, without this entry will be refused.

• Temporary ID Card – Driving Licence
• Permanent ID Card – Two forms of ID are required - Driving Licence, plus Passport or birth certificate or EU ID Card or Tachograph card

Drivers are required to have either a Temporary or Permanent Driver ID Card to enter the Port. Both Temporary and Permanent ID Cards can be requested at the Gate Service Office. The charge will be applied to the company that is linked to the Driver’s VBS booking and will appear on the monthly invoice.

In order for Haulage companies to have visibility on Driver ID charges being accumulated, an automated daily report is sent to registered hauliers via email.

Drivers arriving at the Port requiring a driver ID card should leave extra time for entering the Port and follow the instructions given by our Security Personnel.

All drivers arriving at the Port must have a valid VBS slot!
