Various Questions about the DVLA and private parking companies

The request was partially successful.

Dear Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency,

1. Please provide a full step-by-step process that a external private parking company must progress through to become registered to obtain keeper information from the DVLA.

2. What inquiries are made by the DVLA to ensure that a private parking company requesting vehicle keeper information are compliant with Data Protection legislation and what on-going checks are made by the DVLA and at what interval?

3. What are the exact pieces of information that a private parking company can request form the DVLA? I know this includes the registered keepers name and the registered keepers address, but what other information can be requested?

4. What information must be supplied by the private parking company in order to obtain the registered keepers details from the DVLA? I.E. do DVLA require proof from the private parking company in order to release the keepers details?

5. What is the fee that the private parking company must pay the DVLA for the information and what is the cost to the DVLA to supply this information to the private parking companies?Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Anita Schott
