Protecting your driver's licence information
In today’s digital age, ensuring the security of your personal information has become paramount. With various online services accessing your data, taking control over who can access your sensitive information is crucial. If you’re concerned about third-party organizations potentially using your driving licence details obtained from your Department of Transport login, you can take proactive steps to safeguard your information.
Step 1: Login to Your DoTDirect Account
Begin by logging into your DoTDirect account using your credentials. This is the portal through which you can manage various aspects of your driving licence information.
Step 2: Go to ‘Driver’s Licence’
Once you’re logged in, navigate to the ‘Driver’s Licence’ section. This is where you can access and manage the details related to your driving licence.
Step 3: Under ‘Protect Identity,’ Select ‘Add Licence Block’
To lock down third-party access to your driving licence information, look for the ‘Protect Identity’ option within the ‘Driver’s Licence’ section. Click on it to reveal the available security options. From here, select ‘Add Licence Block.’
Do remember, that by putting this block in place, if you need to require a check done on your driving licence, you will have to re-login to your DoTDirect account and toggle it off again.
By doing so, you’re taking the proactive measure of preventing external organizations from accessing your sensitive information without your explicit permission.
Taking control of your personal data is a crucial aspect of maintaining your privacy in the digital age. By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your driving licence information remains secure and inaccessible to unauthorized parties. Your data security is in your hands, and with these steps, you can exercise greater control over who can access your sensitive information.
