DVLA

Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is the organisation of the UK Government responsible for maintaining a database of drivers and a database of vehicles in Great Britain; its counterpart in Northern Ireland is the Driver and Vehicle Agency. The agency issues driving licences, organises collection of vehicle excise duty and sells private number plates. The DVLA is an executive agency of the Department for Transport. As Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport within the DfT, Stephen Hammond MP is the minister responsible for the agency. The current Chief Executive of the agency is Oliver Morley. The DVLA is based in Swansea, south Wales, with a prominent 16 storey building in Clase and offices in Swansea Vale. It was previously known as the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Centre. The agency currently has a network of 39 offices around Great Britain, known as the Local Office Network, however following a change in strategy, it has been announced that these offices are due to close by December 2013, resulting in work being fully centralised in Swansea.
