DVLA launches site providing Driver CPC and tacograph details
DVLA is calling on commercial drivers to test a new site launched by the ageny which allows them to view their Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) and tachograph information.
The service, which has become available this week, is part of the recently launched DVLA Driver and Vehicles account. The account was beta launched in August and aims to help drivers access their driver and vehicle information in one place.
Announcing the move DVLA said the ability to view tachograph and CPC information is the first of several additions planned for the account.
The DVLA is also calling on drivers to test the site and provide feedback to help develop the service.
In this first iteration of the driver and vehicles account, drivers will need a UK passport to sign up to the service.
Drivers using the account are able to:
- view their driving licence information, including endorsements and penalty points
- view vehicles that are registered to them including tax and MOT status
- change their contact preferences
- set up vehicle tax reminders by email and for the first time by SMS text
- choose to stop getting vehicle tax reminders by post
- View their CPC and tachograph information
·Julie Lennard, DVLA chief executive, said: “We are delighted to be able to provide CPC and tachograph information for professional drivers on the Driver and vehicles account.
"Since we launched the account into public beta in August we have worked to add more services and we continue to do so, and we are encouraging drivers to test out the service and provide us with any feedback they have.”
