The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) improves road safety in Great Britain by setting standards for driving and motorcycling, and making sure drivers, vehicle operators and MOT garages understand and follow roadworthiness standards. We also provide a range of licensing, testing, education and enforcement services.

DVSA is an executive agency of the Department for Transport.
