The DVLA has announced that the paper driver licence counterpart will
be withdrawn from use on 8 June 2015. Employers will now be unable to
check an employee's licence history and endorsements using the
counterpart driving licence. Instead, the DVLA is creating an online
'Share Driving Licence' website which will allow members of the public
to share their driver licence history with organisations of their
choosing. Further information can be found here.
Accordingly,
CRS recommends that employers should update their policies, terms and
conditions and offer letters accordingly to seek consent from employees
to access this information.
