DBS Information
From 8 June 2015 the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) will not issue the paper counterpart to the photo-card driving licence. The DBS will be updating the identity checking guidelines soon to include this change.A photo-card driving licence issued by the DVLA without the paper counterpart will be classed as a group 1 primary identity document. There will be no need to view the paper counterpart for driving licences issued before the date of the change. These are minimum ID requirements and will not impact how you validate an applicants identity. You can read the news story here.
