What is a QPassport?

The QPassport is a Digital or Printable Authorization Pass issued by Quest Diagnostics when a Drug Test is Ordered in your Express Labs Account.  It includes a unique Barcode and "Q" Number that Identifies the Driver to the Test Order.

• The QPassport takes the place of traditional Paper Custody & Control Forms
• It can be Printed or Displayed on your Phone when at the Collection Site
• The Collector Scans the Barcode to begin the Testing Process with no additional paperwork needed
• Ordering Online using the QPassport provides Faster Results and improves Accuracy by Reducing Manual Data Entry Errors

Members are Required to Order DOT Breath Alcohol Tests Online in your Express Labs account or Choose any Site that performs DOT Breath Alcohol Testing, Pay for the Test, and send Express Labs the Results and a Copy of the Receipt of Payment to Results@ExpressLabs.com

1. QPassport Form: Drivers must bring the QPassport to the Site Selected (Collector Scans Barcode on Form or from Driver’s Phone)
2. Breath Alcohol Technician (BAT): A trained Breath Alcohol Technician administers the test.  The BAT will explain the testing procedure and answer any questions the driver may have
3. Testing Procedure: The driver is required to provide a sufficient breath sample into an approved Evidential Breath Testing device (EBT).  The EBT analyzes the breath sample to determine the alcohol concentration in the individual's system
4. Results: The Evidential Breath Testing device generates a printout of the test results.  If the alcohol concentration is below the DOT threshold (0.02), the result is considered negative.  If the concentration is at or above the threshold, DOT requires a Confirmation Test.  A driver with an alcohol concentration of 0.02 or greater, but less than 0.04, must be removed from duty for 24 hours
5. Positive Results: If a driver's test result is positive (.04 or greater), FMCSA regulation prohibits a driver with an alcohol concentration of .04 or greater must be removed from the road immediately and given an SAP Referral.  The Employer is required to Report Positive Breath Alcohol Results to the FMCSA Clearinghouse
