Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency: Translation Services
(asked on 14th November 2025) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency has spent on translation and interpretation services in each of the last five years.
The table below shows how much the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has spent on translation and interpretation services (including Welsh language and British Sign Language translations) in each of the last five years:
| 2020-21 | 2021-22 | 2022-23 | 2023-24 | 2024-25
|
Interpretation and Translation Services | £13,334 | £10,232 | £9,073 | £28,764 | £42,431 |
The increase over the last two financial years is due to the DVLA’s contact centre introducing a new video service for British Sign Language.
