The app opens in your phone's browser. There is nothing to download from a store. It needs a data connection.
Go to driver.amarineone.co.uk in Safari on an iPhone, or Chrome on Android. From amarineone.co.uk, press Sign in and choose The driver app.
Do this first. The app can then warn you before a document or a training runs out (three months, one month and one week ahead), and tell you about work offers, agreements to sign and new training. On an iPhone, notifications only work from the Home Screen.
iPhone:
Android: from the browser's menu choose Install app or Add to Home Screen, then open it from there.
Then turn notifications on: open the menu, then Profile, press Turn notifications on, and allow them when the phone asks. It says Notifications on. Do this on each phone you use.
The account is yours and comes with you from company to company. Creating it joins you to no company, and nobody sees anything of yours until you accept an invitation.

The first time you sign in, and whenever it changes, you are shown how your information is used. Tick that you have read it and tap Understood, continue.
If the link has run out, tap Request a new link. If you still cannot get in, ring your office.
Tap EN or RO: at the top of the sign-in screen, or in the menu under Language. The app remembers your choice on that phone, and the walkaround list, the incident advice and the notifications follow it. Anything the office types itself appears as they wrote it.


Home, the walkaround before you drive, and what to send from the road.
What needs you is at the top: an infringement to explain, a document to check, your next onboarding step. Then:


If the plate is not on the company's fleet, check it, and tell the office before you set off. If the company has not set up dates for the vehicle, the app says so: that does not mean everything is in order.
You never grade a defect. A defect on an item marked critical makes the vehicle unroadworthy, and the app tells you not to drive it. Your answers are kept on the phone as you go: if the app closes, open the check again and it carries on where you were. Photos are not kept that way, so add them at the end.

The result says All clear., or that the check was filed with defects and the office has a report, or that the vehicle is not roadworthy and you must not drive it. Then the photos send. If they do not, tap Send the photos again: the check is already filed.
A submitted check cannot be changed. My checks, in the menu, keeps every check you have sent.

The office is told straight away. The screen shows the report number and how urgent it was marked.



Nothing counts towards your totals until you confirm it. Expenses, in the menu, lists them all; Put it on paper makes a PDF for a period, for your accountant. Receipts are yours, and stay with you if you change company.

When a company takes you on, the office starts your onboarding: a list of steps, some yours and some the office's. Until every step is done you cannot be given work.
A step With the office needs nothing from you. You can carry on with your own steps while the office does theirs, and the documents step does not hold up the ones after it.

The privacy notice, the driver handbook and the company's policies:
You can read them again at any time from the menu, Company documents.
A step that is a form (your limited company's details, or the starter details for payroll if you are employed): fill it in and tap Send. What you type is kept on the phone until you send it. Fill your company's details in here, in the step, rather than in the menu, or the step stays open.
The document does not decide your IR35 status; the office reviews it. You can carry on with your other steps meanwhile.
If you are employed, the step is your contract of employment: read it and your pay and hours, type your full name, tick the two boxes and tap Sign the contract.
A signature cannot be changed afterwards. What you signed stays under My agreement, and under What stays yours after you stop working for the company.
The last step of yours: read each of the five statements and tick it, type your name as your signature, and tap Sign. The office then does the final check, and you are active.
Your licence, CPC, tachograph card, codes and other documents, as cards. The ones your company needs and your own sit together, and they are yours: they come with you between companies.
A document goes to the office only complete, with every side. A clear photograph works better than a PDF.

The card then says it is being checked, and changes when the office approves it. Nothing goes to the office until you have seen it.

A card marked Not added is one of your own. Tap it, photograph the document, check what was read (the dates especially) and tap Confirm. It stays yours; no company sees it unless you let it (see Who can see them).
Your company checks your licence, and your right to work, on gov.uk with a code you make there. A DVLA check code lasts 21 days, a right-to-work share code 90.
When your onboarding asks for the licence check, the step opens The DVLA check: choose I have a check code, check the code (it is taken from your wallet) and tap Send. If you cannot get a code, or do not have a UK licence, choose that instead and tell the office why.
When a code runs out, the card shows Get a new code.

For an agency or a new company: at the top of the wallet tap Share, say who it is for if you like, and tap Make the PDF. Once you send it you cannot take it back, so the app asks first. Every PDF carries your name and the date, and What you have sent keeps a record.
Under Who can see my documents, each company shows whether it can see them. Stop takes the access away, and Allow gives it back. You do not owe anybody a reason.
Every attempt you submit counts. A passed training keeps Read material, to read again without changing your result.

Ask answers from your company's rules and your own documents and invoices, and says so when it does not have the answer written down. Type a question, or tap one of the suggestions, for example what to do after an accident or which documents are running out.
It is not medical, legal or tax advice. If anybody is hurt, call 999.

The bell at the top shows how many are unread. Tap it to see them all: an agreement to sign, a work offer, a new training, a document running out, an infringement to explain. Tap one to go straight to it. Mark all read clears them. One list covers every company you drive for, and your own documents.

Work offers, invoices, credit notes and your bank details.
Once issued it has its number and cannot be changed.


On the invoice, tap Send by email. Check who it goes to, add a note if you like, and tap Send. They get the PDF attached, and a reply comes to you. Open the PDF opens it to save or share another way.
Open the menu, then Your bank details. Fill in the account name exactly as the bank has it, and the sort code and account number (or the IBAN), and tap Save. They appear on every invoice from then on; invoices already issued keep the old ones. You can add your logo on the same screen.
Menu, then My companies: who you work for, and who has invited you. If you drive for more than one, tap a company to switch to it. When you stop working for a company, your documents, agreements and invoices stay with you.
For anything about your work, your documents or your onboarding, ring your office. For the app itself, write to support@amarineone.co.uk or send a message on WhatsApp.
