A drivers license serves to authorise that individual to operate a specific vehicle type or class of equipment.

Forklift Truck Driver License Requirements for vehicles operated indoors with a sitting or standing operator should include the following conditions:

• Minimum operator age of 18 years 
• Skill and training for the task (vehicle operation)
• Understanding of all safety rules & regulations

The license should be issued by the company in which the forklift will be placed in service and the driver is an employee. 

In order to transport people - the owner is required to authorise only operation of vehicles suited and designed for such a transportation application.

If the vehicle operates on public roads local or federal regulations for the operations of a motor vehicle take precedence and must be followed.
