The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), a central government public authority located in Morriston, United Kingdom, is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Provision of Third Party Identity Checking." This opportunity falls within the services industry category, specifically customer services, and is outlined through a UK1 Pipeline Notice.
