Historic addresses on my drivers licence
Dear Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency,
Can I make a data subject access request under Article 15 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which is referred to as Part 1 of the new Data Protection Act 2018.
Yours faithfully,
David marsh
Dear MR Marsh
Your email has been passed to the Subject Access Request team (SAR).
Information released by the DVLA under the FOIA is considered to be information disclosed into the public domain. By releasing the personal data of an individual into the public domain, the DVLA would be in breach of data protection law.
The information you have requested is considered to be your personal information. In this case, the FOIA is not the most appropriate method to use.
Details about how best to request your personal data under Article 15 of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) is available via the following link:
Make a subject access request to DVLA - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

The WhatDoTheyKnow site isn't designed for submitting requests for personal data about yourself, as that information is excluded from the scope of the FOI Act.
This page has information about making a subject access request to DVLA: https://www.gov.uk/government/publicatio...
DVLA will hold information about more than one person named David Marsh, so you will likely need to give them some additional details so they can confirm your identity.
