Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of revising DVLA driving license fee processes to accept other forms of payment as well as cheques and postal orders when a license is applied for by post.

The Driver Vehicle Licensing Agency is currently considering alternative payment methods with a view to moving away from paper-based payments and providing customers with options that match their needs. Improvements will aim to support reducing paper-based transactions and payment methods wherever possible in addition to providing a wider range of options for customers.
