What Is An Online Licence Check Document?
In order for us to verify your driving licence with the licensing authorities DVLA for Great Britain licences or DVA for Northern Ireland licences we require your permission. Licences issued outside the UK are also checked by the DVLA.
You give us your permission to check your licence by completing and signing an online licence check document.
For DVLA checks this is a Fair Processing Declaration which replaces the data protection mandate as part of DVLA GDPR changes. After 25th August 2018 a DVLA licence check can only take place with Fair Processing Document in place.
For DVA checks a data protection mandate is required.
It is best to have your licence with you when you complete the online licence check document.
If your licence was issued outside Great Britain and Northern Ireland, you will also be asked to supply a copy of the front and back of your licence so please have these prepared.
