So the office of the Traffic Commissioner and the DVSA has finally caught up with the 21 century and it is now possible to apply & manage your vehicle operator licence online!
For the first time, online applications for vehicle operator licences can now use the shiny new online system, replacing the Operator Self Service System.
Mr Kevin Rooney, Traffic Commissioner for the west of England and for the northeast of England stated that “We wanted to change the system because we recognise that the old system isn’t very user friendly, we want to encourage operators to do things digitally and to transact digitally both with government and with us”.
Main addition
The main addition to the new system is a service allowing new operators to apply for a licence online. Existing licences can still manage their licence by adding more vehicles, applying to increase vehicle limits and adding a transport manager, so no change there. Existing users of the Operator Self-Service System can log in to the new service using the same username and password. For more information, and to access the new service, visit the .gov website. To apply go here.
