Direct.Gov!

Direct.Gov!

Direct.gov is government’s official website; it consists of tabs/links to allow you to easily find for example:

o       Buy vehicle tax/Buy DVLA registration

o       Apply for Driving license

o       Student loans

o       Find University applications

o       Benefits/Taxes

o       Apply for passports

o       Voting

o       Look for jobs

o       Find schools

o       Health service, Dentists, NHS, opticians

In my opinion, the direct.gov website is useful if you know what you are looking for. For example if you want to buy your vehicle tax (car tax) you can easily pay for it online and receive it through post. There are also other useful tabs like Passports, University, Travel and transport, Environment and crime, all of these links might be useful  to people who need help in that particular area.
