PayPoint has been awarded the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) contract for providing international driving permits across its network of retailer partners across the UK.
The multi-year agreement will see the service move from the Post Office to PayPoint from 1 April 2024, adding another important central government service to its portfolio, and maintaining vital access to this service.
An international driving permit allows you to drive in more than 140 countries where a UK driving licence alone may not be enough, including the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Turkey, Brazil and Japan. Around 300,000 permits are issued each year.
Nick Wiles, Chief Executive of PayPoint, said: “We are delighted to have been awarded this contract and to forge a new partnership with the DVLA, adding to the growing number of central government services that we operate across our extensive retailer partner network.
“This is positive news for customers as we maintain access to another vital service at the heart of communities across the UK.”
In December, DVLA agreed a new contract with Post Office that allows Vehicle Tax and Ten-Year Renewal products to be sold in branches until 31 March 2025.
