How it works — DLIMS

Applicant at counter → Officer enters details + test result → Record created, license no. assigned → Card printed, record live

The record exists the moment it's created — there's no separate "upload to central database later" step that leaves a gap for duplicates or lost paperwork.

Checkpoint scans / enters license no. → DLIMS returns status + class + expiry → Officer sees result in under 5s

Verification checkpoints get read-only access — enough to confirm validity, without exposing the full applicant record.

Existing record pulled by number → Eligibility + re-test check → Expiry extended, history preserved

Renewal never creates a second record — it extends the one that already exists, so history isn't fragmented across multiple license numbers.

Court / authority order received → Supervisor flags record → Status updates everywhere, instantly

A suspension entered at one district is visible at every checkpoint in the province the moment it's saved — not after a nightly sync.

Security & compliance

Access is role-based, and every change is attributable.

Role-based access

Issuing officers, verification checkpoints, and supervisors each see and edit only what their role requires.

Attributed edits

Every change is tied to an operator ID and timestamp — no anonymous edits to a driver's record.

Single source of truth

One authoritative record per license number, shared across districts, instead of siloed local files.

One record, read and written from every authorized point.

Access is role-based, and every change is attributable.
