Your profile
This page is for any signed-in MOTLogs user who wants to see or change their own details, and explains every field on the Profile page.
How do I open my profile?
To open your profile, select your avatar at the top right of any signed-in page and choose Profile. You can also choose Profile under the Account group in the left-hand menu (Billing sits next to it), or go to /membersarea/person.
The page is headed Profile with the subtitle "Your account details, contact verification and invoices". It has two tabs: Profile (your details) and Invoices (your payment history, see Payment history and invoices).
What fields are on the Profile tab?
The left column holds your sign-in and contact details. The right column holds your photo, description and registration date.
| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
| Name | Your name as shown in MOTLogs, for example in the avatar menu. |
| Passcode | The passcode you sign in with. It is hidden by default; select the eye button beside it to show or hide it. |
| Your email address. See Changing your email address or phone number. | |
| Verified (email) | A ticked, read-only box showing whether the email is verified. You cannot tick it yourself. |
| Phone Number | Your mobile or landline number. |
| Verified (phone) | A ticked, read-only box showing whether the phone is verified. |
| DVSA User | Your DVSA user ID. See Photo, description and preferences. |
| No emails | Tick to record that you do not want email from MOTLogs. Sign-in and verification emails are still sent. |
| Description | A free-text note about you. |
| Registered | The date you registered. Read-only. |
How do I save changes to my profile?
To save, edit the fields you want and select Submit at the bottom right of the Profile tab. A message appears saying "Your details have now been updated" and the page reloads your saved details.
If saving fails, a red message appears with the reason. Nothing is saved until you select Submit: switching to the Invoices tab or leaving the page discards your edits.
Why does the page sometimes scroll to a field?
If you arrive from a prompt elsewhere in MOTLogs, such as the "My work" list asking you to add your DVSA tester ID, the link ends in ?focus=dvsa-user-id. The page scrolls to that field and puts the cursor in it. Fill it in and select Submit.
