In September, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) introduced a digital representation of the photocard driving licence as the latest enhancement to its Driver and Vehicle Account.

The DVLA is in the process of introducing functionality which will enable customers to obtain a QR code to allow them to share information from their driving licence with third parties within the Driver and Vehicle Account in addition to the Share Driving Licence service.

Discussions continue on future developments in the area of digital driving licences.
