Tow truck accreditation checker

About this service

The tow truck accreditation checker allows the currency of tow truck driver and assistant accreditation to be checked.

A tow truck driver accreditation or tow truck assistant accreditation authorises the holder of the accreditation to operate, or assist with the operation of, a tow truck to carry out regulated towing in Queensland.

An assistant, however, is not authorised to drive a tow truck to undertake regulated towing.

In Queensland, it is an offence for a person to operate or drive a tow truck to provide a regulated tow truck service without holding the appropriate accreditation.

It is also an offence for an operator to direct a person to operate or assist with the operation of a tow truck to provide a regulated tow truck service if the person is not appropriately Queensland accredited.

Please note, to be a Queensland accredited tow truck driver, the person must also hold a current driver licence for the relevant class of vehicle / tow truck they are driving.

To conduct a search, a driver or assistant customer reference number / authority number is required. A search result will display the type of accreditation held but will not display any personal information.
