Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA)

Establishment of DVLA

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) was established in 1999 by an Act of Parliament (Act 569). It was to replace Vehicle Examination and Licensing Division (VELD). By the Act, DVLA was to provide the legal and administrative framework for an enhanced and more effective agency to regulate the activities of road users.

It is an agency which falls under the Ministry of Transportation and generally responsible for the Licensing of Drivers and Certification of Vehicles. Its stakeholders include the MTTU of the Police Service, Transport Unions, National Road Safety Commission and Motoring public.

DVLA provides a range of licensing, testing services with the aim of improving safety on our roads.
