Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what guidance her Department issues to drivers on (a) verifying the accuracy of their driving licence entitlements and (b) what recourse is available to them if discrepancies to their licence entitlements are found.

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) sends leaflets with all driving licences which advise the licence holder to check that all details, including the vehicle categories or driving entitlements, are correct. The leaflet also explains the information contained on the licence and where it is found so that any issues can be easily identified.

If a licence holder notices any errors or discrepancies on their licence, they should return it to the DVLA to be corrected.
