Driving Licences: Applications
(asked on 23rd October 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department has made an estimate of the number of applicants seeking a licence renewal who do not have a digital signature.
This question was answered on 25th October 2023
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) can reproduce a signature from a passport on a driving licence if a digital record of a signature is held by Her Majesty’s Passport Office (HMPO).
The DVLA is unable to estimate the number of driving licence applicants for whom HMPO does not hold a digital signature.
