Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he plans to take to enable members of the public to change the name on their driving licence online.

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency must verify that the information supporting changes of name is genuine and appropriate before amending the driving licence record and issuing a licence. This is to safeguard the integrity of the records it holds.

There are currently no plans to introduce an online service.
