Driver CPC and tachograph information now available on DVLA’s Driver and vehicles account
The DVSA has recently issued a circular stating that the DVLA has now added Driver CPC and tachograph information to their Driver and vehicles account. Commercial drivers have been able to view this information since 16 October.
These are the first of several additions planned for the account. You will need a UK passport to sign up for this.
The service is available to GB licence holders but not Northern Ireland licence holders.
Operators can also use their account to check driver details and vehicles with DVLA such as:
- their driving record, for example vehicles they can drive;
- check for penalty points or disqualifications;
- add and view details of their vehicles – including when the MOT expires;
- check the tax rates for their vehicles;
- set up vehicle tax reminders by email and SMS – if tax is paid every 6 or 12 months;
- choose to stop getting vehicle tax reminders by post.
Operators can only use this service if your driving licence was issued in England, Wales or Scotland. The applicant needs to be the registered keeper to view your vehicle details.
Vehicle tax reminders cannot be set up if paid by direct debit.
