DVLA on gov.uk

Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency simply known as DVLA on gov.uk provides you with an array of information that are responsible for the database of all drivers in Great Britain as well as holding all the info on vehicles in the UK. But when the gov.uk website goes down this is when there is trouble with drivers updating or enquiring etc.

DVLA

There are sometimes problems with the DVLA website, online forms and issues with Sorn. But the main issue is when DVLA on gov.uk is down leaving people no access to the website.

If the DVLA website goes down this will stop you applying for your vehicle tax, information on replacement V5C logbooks, the ability to change your address and so much more. If you notice any problems at all with DVLA on gov.uk please report below.

    I’ve tried 3 times today to change my address on my driving licence and i’ve given up, fine or no fine

  • Rick Sharpe

    Insured, taxed and tested a bike this week, but all are not showing as being done on the website, even on the MID site

  • Graham

    I need to renew my photo on my driving license but I have no idea where to go. I go on the website but when I click the continue button nothing happens. Any advice of an alternative to online?

  • Mrs Patricia Luscombe

    Is the dvla down in post offices today.

  • Bob

    Put private plate on vehicle website is down. Supposed to be online 7am-7pm daily. There is a message to say that to try again later.

  • Gavin

    If you have your new photo licence then just cut up your old one ans send to DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1ZW

  • Nancy

    I want to send my old photo driving license off, but where do I send it?

  • Simon

    This is a nightmare because when I try to enter details the website just keeps timing out.

  • Caroline Chan

    When I try to fill in my date of birth for renewing photo on driving licence no option comes up for the year and it then says I haven’t completed the form! Exasperating!

  • Jeremy Harris

    I thought I had successfully paid my tax online, reaching the page which thanked me for my payment. However money never left my account and now I face a Late Payment Penalty. Has this happened to anyone else?

  • Derek and Jane Sparrow

    There is no option on the page about Organ Donation to continue without saying either YES to donating or YES I want to do this later. Please either state that it is obligatory or offer a clear NO option. It is very hard to know how to proceed from this page, and puts the user under undue pressure.

    Once finished, there is a NEXT button. Whenever I click it, it tells me “there is a technical fault and my application has been thrown away unless I saw a ‘completion’ screen”. This is rather unfriendly – perhaps it is just broken today.

  • Henry

    I am trying to find on the website how to declare sorn. I do not drive my car anymore and is in the garage. Can someone help me please as to where i go.

  • Toby

    The DVLA website is so confusing, you open one page and then another and then another and so forth. I finally get to where i want to be and then the page goes blank, whats all that about? So much simpler wainting on the phone for ike an hour, all this technology and its crap.

  • Lucy

    Thats all i keep seeing them say, try another broswer, its pathetic.

  • Chris

    When I cannot get the website working all DVLA say on Twitter is “Please try using a different internet browser.”, well i dont want to, all the money you get why not make your site available on all websites. Even this site Is Down Right Now is on all browsers as well as mobile. Bet they dont have as much money as you.

  • David

    DVLA have told me the website is working fine and that I should use a different web browser, but i have never had this problem before. All I want to do is renew my driving licence.
