<p>The changes to vehicle registration and licensing services for Northern Ireland
motorists were implemented on 21 July when more than 1.7 million Northern Ireland
vehicle records were automatically transferred to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing
Agency (DVLA). A small number of records required additional processing but these
were in line with expectations and the DVLA’s systems have operated very successfully
since the migration. While no formal assessment has been made, the Government is confident
that Northern Ireland customers are benefiting fully from the enhanced services that
are now available to them.</p><p> </p><p>The DVLA is planning a number of future changes
to vehicle registration and licensing services. These include providing the facility
for motorists to notify vehicle changes and carry out personalised registration transactions
online. These services will be available to motorists throughout the UK when they
are implemented.</p><p> </p><p>As driver licensing in Northern Ireland is a devolved
issue, the Government is not in a position to comment on the success of the system
or any potential changes.</p>
