DVLA Driver and vehicles account

4 Oct 2023

The online account will be developed in the coming months and will show the progress level of licence applications. DVLA account holders will also be able to use the account to check their driver details and vehicles with DVLA.

The ability to:

  • view your driving record, for example vehicles you can drive
  • check your penalty points or disqualifications
  • add and view details of your vehicles - including when the MOT expires
  • check the tax rates for your vehicles
  • set up vehicle tax reminders by email and SMS - if you pay tax every 6 or 12 months (but not if you pay by direct debit)
  • choose to stop getting vehicle tax reminders by post

The service is only available if your driving licence was issued in England, Wales or Scotland and you need to be the registered keeper to view your vehicle details
