Assigning an RFID/NFC DriverID Tag to a Driver

Assigning an RFID/NFC DriverID tag is the process of linking a physical card, fob, or tap‑enabled device to a driver so FleetConnect can automatically identify that driver when the tag is used in a vehicle or reader.

1. Access User Management

  • Log in to FleetConnect with your administrator account.
  • Navigate to Admin → Manage User and Drivers.
  • Confirm you have administrator rights to manage users.

2. Locate the Driver

  • In the Manage Users table, use the filter icon on the Name or Email column.

  • Enter the driver’s details to narrow the list.

    User Management

  • Click the driver’s row to open the Edit Driver screen.

3.  Open the DriverID Section 

  • In the Driver Settings, locate the DriverID Section.
  • If the driver already has a DriverID tag assigned, the existing tag number will appear here.

4. Assign the DriverID Tag (RFID/NFC) 

  • Enter the RFID/NFC tag number exactly as printed on the fob.

    Add Driver ID NFC Tag
  •  Confirm the tag is unique and not already assigned to another driver.
  • If replacing an old tag, overwrite the previous tag value.

5. Save the Update

  • Click Save to apply the change.

  • The RFID/NFC tag is now linked to the driver and ready for use. 


What Happens After Assignment

Once saved, FleetConnect updates the driver’s identity profile:

  • The RFID tag becomes the driver’s primary physical identifier for vehicle access and Driver ID events.
  • Any vehicle equipped with RFID readers will automatically attribute trips, logins, and Driver ID changes to this driver when the tag is used.
  • Automated trip assignment rules will use the RFID tag to ensure accurate driver attribution for utilisation, behaviour, odometer, fuel, and event reporting.
  • If a poolcar booking or manual Driver ID override occurs, those will take precedence over RFID detection.
