Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the average time taken for the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency was to issue driving licence forms in the Welsh language when such forms were requested in the last 12 months.

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency’s (DVLA) service standards are the same for both English and Welsh languages. All driving licence forms in either Welsh or English are available to order online via the GOV.UK website. The forms can also be ordered by telephoning the DVLA’s contact centre. Forms are issued within seven to 10 days of the DVLA receiving the request. The Welsh language version of the D1 driving licence application form is also available at some Post Offices in Wales.
