On 8 June 2015 the paper counterpart to the British driving licence was abolished making way for an online system changing the way motorists share their details with employers and car hire companies.

To share their details motorists must generate a code, which can then be redeemed just once by a third party. From today (10 July 2015) the check code generated for motorists to share their driving licence details is valid for 21 days. Previously the code was valid for 72 hours.

You can view and share your driving record at View your driving licence information. You’ll be able to see your information electronically and generate a check code which you can then share with people who need to see your details (such as an employer or car hire company). If you want to, you can also download and print a summary.

If you are hiring a car, make sure you check with your car hire company to see whether you need to generate a code – see our news story on hiring a vehicle for more information.

]]> Motorists warned about scam emails https://andersonstransport.com/news/motorists-warned-about-scam-emails/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=motorists-warned-about-scam-emails Tue, 03 Mar 2015 12:07:29 +0000 http://www.andersonstransport.com/?p=4367 DVLA warns the public of an email scam that asks drivers to verify their driving licence and vehicle tax details via an online link.

The email, which wrongly claims to have been sent from DVLA, appears to be an attempt to trick drivers into providing personal details. DVLA have not sent out an email asking customers to update or verify their details.

We’re aware that some members of the public have received these emails and we strongly advise anyone who receives one of these or any similar email, to ignore it and not to follow the instructions given.

The government, led by Cabinet Office’s Government Digital Service (GDS), will continue to investigate reports of organisations which may be actively misleading users about their services or acting illegally, taking swift action when necessary. By using the online driving licence or vehicle tax transactions on GOV.UK you can be sure that you are dealing directly with DVLA.
