DVLA warns about third-party driving licence renewal reminders

The DVLA has issued a warning over text messages or emails sent by third parties regarding a driver’s licence that is due for renewal.
The organisation said that it is not responsible for the services, which are in no way affiliated with DVLA and may cost drivers more.
It added: ‘By using the online driving licence transactions on GOV.UK you can be sure that you are dealing directly with DVLA and you will not be charged any additional fees for your driving licence. Your application will be completed online without the need for a postal application in the majority of cases.’
The online driving licence services are in the driving licences section of GOV.UK.
