Access code period for licence checks is extended14 July 2015
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has announced that the access code for online licence checking will now be valid for 21 days – a move which the Freight Transport Association has welcomed.
"Common sense has prevailed and DVLA has listened to what we have been saying about the new online system not being fit for purpose," says FTA's Ian Gallagher.
Giving employers more time to use the code is "a sensible move", he adds. "However, we still believe more changes are needed to make the system efficient and effective, such as the ability to check non-GB licences online instead of via an office hours-only phone line.
"Bulk checking of licences is also an issue that needs to be reviewed."
