Commercial y Government employers must enroll any driver employed to operate any vehicle if:

• The driver is required to have a Commercial Class A or Class B driver’s license.
• The driver is required to have a Commercial Class C driver’s license special endorsement (Hazardous Materials, Passenger Vehicles, Tank Vehicles).
• The driver operates passenger vehicles with a seating capacity of 10 or fewer people (including the driver) for compensation by a charter–party passenger carrier.
• The driver works for a passenger stage corporation with a certificate of public convenience and necessity, or permit issued by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).

These requirements include:

• Owners who own, lease, or otherwise operate more than one motor unit or more than three towed vehicles.
• Owner/operators who have partners.
• Family members and volunteer drivers.
• Individuals employed for more than 30 workdays in the preceding six months.

Every year on the enrollment date, the EPN program automatically generates and sends a driver record when any of the following actions or activities occurs: 

• The driver is enrolled in the EPN program.
• The driver has any convictions, failures to appear (FTAs), accidents, driver’s license suspensions or revocations, or any other actions taken against their driving privilege. 

EPN Agents are authorized by DMV to act on the behalf of an EPN account holder. All EPN Agents must use DMV’s SFT website to submit and receive driver records or add and delete drivers from the account holder’s file. 

EPN Agents receive record information directly from DMV to perform a specific business function as defined in CVC §1808.1. Use of an EPN Agent does not absolve the employer of responsibility for compliance with the requirements of CVC §1808.1.

Permitting employers to utilize agents does not affect the current procedures for processing EPN requests. It is important that all parties involved understand the EPN Program Requirements (INF 1107). 

To utilize the service of an approved EPN Agent, the EPN account holder must complete and sign the EPN Agent Authorization (INF 2110).
