A One Insurance Advises Changes are Planned for New Style Driving Licence

By: A One Insurance Group
 
April 14, 2015 - PRLog -- LIA Martin from A-One Insurance Brokers, advises that changes are afoot for the present style of driving licence.

She says: “Did you know that from 8 June 2015, driving licence counterparts (the paper document accompanying the plastic photo licence) will no longer be issued and counterparts already issued will cease to have any legal status?

For drivers who need to allow others to check their driving licence information e.g. employers, car hire companies etc, a new Share Driving Licence service will be introduced that will allow driving licence holders to provide a one-off access code for a third party to carry out their checks

From 8 June 2015 the following will apply:-

·   If you hold a current photo card driving licence you should continue to use this

·   The DVLA will be the definitive location and source where penalty point endorsements are recorded; no endorsements for new traffic offences will be recorded on old paper driving licences or paper counterparts, so these documents should not be relied on by anyone needing to know the status of the licence, for example insurance companies and employers.

·   When you next renew your licence or where you apply to change your name and address, you will only receive a photo card. (Please remember that your licence must have your correct name and up-to-date address on it).

Lia advises that if you do not have a counterpart paper licence or an old style driving licence without a photograph, you can check your DVLA driver record for endorsements by viewing your licence at the DVLA’s driver recordonline (https://www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence). To do this you simply need to know your driving licence number or your full name, date of birth and gender, your post code and your national insurance number. This facility will inform you of the status of your licence, its expiry date, its issue number, the vehicles you are entitled to drive (and whether this is with full or provisional entitlement) and any penalties and disqualifications.
