Driving licence: DVLA instructs motorists on how to apply online<\/h3>\n

DVLA chiefs have issued a set of new targets which could have a major impact on UK motorists within months.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The agency has issued a series of waiting time targets for driving licence applications and renewals in a dramatic\u00a0bid to boost the customer experience for road users.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As part of their new 2023\/24 targets, the DVLA will aim to dispatch licence applications made online in just three working days at least 95 percent of the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A vehicle registration certificate and a tachograph will also be sent to online applicants within 72 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The body has also set itself an ambitious 90 percent target to dispatch postal driving licences in 10 working days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As things stand, officials tell drivers to allow up to three weeks to receive a licence if they apply by post meaning the new target would be a small step further.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The DVLA is also planning to dispatch vocational driving licence applications made by post in five working days at least 90 percent of the time.<\/p>\n

Chiefs also feel that at least nine in 10 licensing decisions on motorists with medical cases can also be decided within 90 days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Julie Lennard, DVLA Chief Executive and Accounting Officer hinted that a range of new tools would also soon be available.<\/p>\n

She explained: \u201cOne of our priorities is the continued development of the Driver and Vehicles account, which is a customer-facing service hosted on GOV.UK.\u00a0<\/p>\n
