Asked by: Cat Smith (Labour - Lancaster and Wyre) Thursday 21st May 2026 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will instruct the DVLA to amend their V11 tax reminder form to include information on over-the-counter transaction options currently provided by the Post Office. Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) This information is already contained on a number of The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency’s (DVLA) manual forms. DVLA’s V11 tax reminder also advises customers to visit GOV.UK to access information on ways to pay vehicle excise duty. DVLA will review this position to understand if there is a customer demand for this to also be available on the V11 tax reminder.
