DVLA Data Sharing Guidance with Quarterly Enquiry Volumes
Summary
DVLA published Quarter 3 2025-26 enquiry volumes for vehicle services, driver services, KADOE, and EDECS/ADD datasets. The guidance documents what data DVLA shares, with whom, for what purpose, and includes quarterly statistics on enquiry volumes. Last updated 7 April 2026.
What changed
DVLA added Quarter 3 2025-26 quarterly enquiry volumes for four datasets: vehicle services, driver services, KADOE (Keepers and Drivers of Vehicles Enquiry), and EDECS/ADD (Enquiry Details of Current System and Additional Driver Data). The datasets are published in OpenDocument format and include statistical information on enquiry numbers made to DVLA.
Organizations that access DVLA data or use DVLA services should review the updated quarterly volumes to monitor data sharing activity levels. The guidance applies to any party who receives data from DVLA or makes enquiries against DVLA records.
What to do next
