It's now possible to compare DVLA's records with the information on your driving licence.

You need the licence number, your national insurance number, and your postcode. There is an option to "Search for your record using your personal details" if you don't know the licence number.

Should enable us to pre-empt any problems with categories (particularly "motorcycle") disappearing when changing address etc. (as long as we have the licence, I suppose).

Relieved to find that DVLA agrees that I have a bike licence. If they didn't, and I didn't have the licence, I suspect that it would be impossible to prove that I passed the test in 1968. smile
