FMCSA adds ID verification for employers in Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse

▤ Summary

FMCSA announced new identity verification requirements for certain users of its Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse, including employers, medical review officers, substance abuse professionals, and third-party administrators. The agency will require those users to verify their identities through Idemia to strengthen fraud prevention, improve record accuracy, and boost accountability for more than six million database users. The rollout covers the specified groups now, with future phases extending verification to most other users while CDL holders remain verified through state systems. The change aims to protect the integrity of Clearinghouse data and reinforce confidence across the commercial driver safety industry.
