On the 8th June 2015, the DVLA scrapped the paper counterparts for driving licences and issued photo card licences only.
Any new penalty points (endorsements) issued from that date will be recorded electronically only. This information will be held on your DVLA driver record and can be viewed online via the DVLA Shared Driving Licence Service.
We’ve put together some new information on how you can access your driving record and how third parties such as employers, car hire companies and insurance companies and brokers will be able to access them.
We hope you find it helpful. Let us know what you think by using our feedback form.

Hi, I need to find out historic driving offences. The DVLA online form doesn’t go back as far as the start of my license. How would I find out this information?
Hi James
The best way of finding out about historic driving offences is to request a copy of your police record (often referred to as a Subject Access Request). You can apply for this online at https://www.acro.police.uk/Subject-access. It’s free of charge and takes upto 30 days to be returned to you.
Best wishes
