Before you order a driver's PSP report, you need the driver's written authorization on the FMCSA form. With DOT Apply the driver e-signs it from a phone as part of the job application, and you get a signed PDF instead of paper and fax.
Part of DOT Apply, the free §391.21 driver application for small carriers.
What PSP is
What a PSP report shows, and the rules around it
PSP is FMCSA's Pre-Employment Screening Program. A PSP report shows a driver's crash history for the last five years and roadside inspection history for the last three. The program is voluntary.

FAQ
PSP authorization, answered
Is the PSP authorization form in DOT Apply free?
Yes. The application page, the FCRA and PSP consent, the signed PDF and the cabinet are free.
Do I need the driver's consent before pulling PSP?
Yes. A PSP report requires the driver's written authorization on the FMCSA-mandated disclosure. DOT Apply collects it with its own e-signature, IP, timestamp and document hash, so it's in the file before you order anything.
Can I use PSP on drivers I already employ?
No. FMCSA allows PSP only for pre-employment screening, not for checking the records of current drivers.
How long do I keep the signed PSP form?
FMCSA requires PSP account holders to keep each signed authorization for at least three years, whether the driver was hired or not. With DOT Apply it is part of the signed PDF in your cabinet, and the PDF also arrives by e-mail.
Do you pull the PSP report for me?
No. You order it on your own PSP account. We don't pull MVR or Clearinghouse reports or run background checks either: we collect the consent and the application.
Can the driver sign on a phone?
Yes. The whole application, including the consent forms, is built for a phone. The driver scans the CDL barcode instead of typing the license data.
Is the form available in Spanish?
Yes. The application works in English, Spanish and Russian.
Can I put it on my company website?
Yes. Use the link or the embed code from your cabinet.
What else is in the signed PDF?
The full §391.21 application, the FCRA disclosure and authorization, the PSP authorization, and read-outs: what the CDL barcode says, gaps in the employment history, and a §391.23 previous-employer call list.
