DVLA has delayed plans to introduce an online licence checking service.
 

The service would have allowed fleet managers to check the validity and status of their drivers' licences through third party suppliers online with the DVLA.

The serice is currently being trialled with a number of licence checking companies, but it is believed this trial will end prematurely on May 29 and no date set for either its reinstatement or the introduction of the full service.

A DVLA spokesperson said: “The introduction of the online Driver Licence Check service has been postponed, but the Agency continues to operate a range of alternative products for the checking of driver entitlement through telephone, paper and electronic channels.”
