Annex
Your right to complain to DVLA and the Information Commissioner
You have the right to complain about the way in which your request for information was
handled and/or about the decision not to disclose all or part of the information requested. In
addition a complaint can be made that DVLA has not complied with its FOI publication
scheme.
Your complaint will be acknowledged and you will be advised of a target date by which to
expect a response. Initially your complaint will be re-considered by the official who dealt
with your request for information. If, after careful consideration, that official decides that
his/her decision was correct, your complaint will automatically be referred to a senior
independent official who will conduct a further review. You will be advised of the outcome
of your complaint and if a decision is taken to disclose information originally withheld this
will be done as soon as possible.
If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the right to apply
directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. The Information Commissioner can
be contacted at:
