The DVLA to allow virtual addresses to be used by people of No Fixed Abode.
Persuade the DVLA to rescind the current blanket ban and implement a mechanism by which providers could be 'approved' to supply this much needed service.
We suggest that the same strict compliance standards, demanded by HMRC for Trust & Company Service Provider status, would be ideal for purpose.
An estimated 700,000 UK citizens have no fixed postal address; either as a result of lifestyle choices, or in response to financial imperatives. These include canal boaters, fulltime motorhomers, those living on static caravan sites, or travelling constantly for work.
An accommodation address with mail forwarding or scanning, supplied by a professional, approved and compliant provider, is both more secure and would meet the DVLA's stated criteria of contactability far more effectively.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand that you want the DVLA to accept virtual addresses for people of No Fixed Abode, but it is not clear what you mean by "providers" or "service".
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
