DVLA issues API keys during onboarding. For secure APIs, the Authentication API guide says a username, one-time password, API key and API URLs are supplied as part of the onboarding process; for KADOE use the KADOE registration page to apply. For VES, the guide says registration is currently closed and the issued key must be sent in x-api-key.
