The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency’s (DVLA) online services for driving licence transactions, vehicle licensing and vehicle excise duty enforcement penalty payments are already available 24 hours a day.

Availability of other vehicle related services is scheduled to be extended to 9PM within the next two months. While the DVLA intends to extend these services to 24 hour availability, this requires wider transformational changes to vehicle services which are currently in development.
