Answer
The Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA) is currently transforming the driver licensing service, which includes developing a new driver licensing IT system. This system will improve the customer experience, deliver service efficiencies and provide the opportunity to make online transactions available.
The Agency has completed the early discovery phase of the project and is currently progressing through the development phase. The new driver licensing system is on schedule to ‘go live’ in April 2016.
