Drivers are being warned to be mindful of what sites they use when availing of DVLA services.
The driving authority, which deals with licence and tax applications - and payments - wants people to know that they should only use websites that end with .GOV.UK.
This is to prevent users from being scammed by cyber criminals who are looking to get personal information - including financial details - through phishing scams. This type of cyber crime involves fraudsters setting up websites pretending to be reputable companies and tricking victims into giving out sensitive information.
