The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) neither promotes the release of personal data, nor does the DVLA seek to release personal data to generate a fee/revenue.<\/p>
<\/p>
DVLA responds, as required, to each request for vehicle and driver data and while DVLA is permitted to charge a fee for the release of information under the reasonable cause provisions, DVLA is not permitted to profit from the release. The fee set is to recover the related administrative costs and this means that it is the applicant and not the taxpayer that funds this activity.<\/p>
<\/p>
Total fees recognised by DVLA from charges for requests for vehicle and driver personal data for the most recent financial year available, is:<\/p>
