Clearinghouse Registration – DOT Clearinghouse Services
Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse (DACH)
The Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse (DACH) is a secure, online database administered by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The purpose of the DACH is to provide law enforcement, state licensing agencies, and employers in the transportation sector with real-time compliance information on commercial license and permit holder’s drug and alcohol program violations. The DACH warehouses data on violations, including positive drug or alcohol test results along with test refusals. As drivers complete their return to duty processes and follow-up testing plans post violation, these details are added to their respective clearinghouse record. All safety-sensitive drivers who hold a CDL and CLP license are subject to this requirement and should register with the DACH.

Understanding Clearinghouse Registration For Your Drivers
All safety-sensitive drivers in your company must register. The following circumstances necessitate registration:
- It allows you as the employer to have a full query run for pre-employment
- Registering is the only way a driver can view their clearinghouse information
- Drivers who have any violations are required to register
The only way you, as an employer, can run a full query on a potential driver is for the driver to log in to their clearinghouse account and give consent. Without that, you would not be allowed to hire that driver.
