It's important to be aware of your points status so you need to know how to conduct a driving license points check. Thanks to the increasing digitalisation of government departments and agencies, it's very easy to check points on licence records that are held by the DVLA. Using the online service at https://www.viewdrivingrecord.service.gov.uk/driving-record/licence-number you can quickly carry out your own driver licence points check. All you need is your licence number, national insurance number and postcode. You'll see four tabs, the third of which is 'Penalties and disqualifications'. Click on this tab and you'll see the date of the offence, the office or court that issued the points, the offence code, the number of points, their expiry date and their removal date. This simple drivers license points check is something that any new insurance company will carry out for themselves and you can give them access to your record by giving them a share code you obtain from the same site.
