Driving Licence Counterpart – It’s gone as from today

As informed in previous posts as from today June 8th 2015 the Driving Licence Counterpart is no more. It’s GONE

As part of the government’s Red Tape Challenge initiative to remove unnecessary burden, DVLA will no longer issue the paper counterpart to the photocard driving licence. This means that from today, existing paper counterparts will no longer be valid and should be destroyed. The photocard remains valid and should be kept safe.

If you still have any queries or want further information you can email the DVLA at abolitionofcounterpart@dvla.gsi.gov.uk
