Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill on 15 September 2025 (HL10214), what progress they have since made for the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency's digital services other than driving licence transactions being available 24 hours a day.

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency’s (DVLA) online services for driving licence transactions, vehicle licensing and vehicle excise duty enforcement penalty payments are already available 24 hours a day.

Since December 2025, all DVLA online vehicle services have been available until 9pm.

The DVLA is working to extend all services to 24 hour availability – this requires wider transformational changes to vehicle services which are currently in development.
