I want use this board and PiFace Relay+ to drive a 12 V DC motor, is that possible ?

I presume you meant this (for future adding the link means we can see what you are referring to)
PiFace Relay plus for Raspberry Pi Model B plus
As long as your 12v motor doesn't exceed 1A
The alternative for switching two relays is

Despite the relays stating they are 10A, i suspect the pcb tracks are not sufficent.
I see that the new plus model soleves the problem of access to the GPIO pins.
I did this to mine.

Thanks for your reply.I have that concern is because when I check the technical specification on http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-72072/l/getting-started--piface-motor-extra-interface-board-for-raspberry-pi . The motor supply voltage is 0V - 11 V, what does it mean?
Oh
I see this is an addon board to the PiFace.
It provides an H Bridge and it seems that the maximum voltage is 11v.
So it will run a 12v motor at less than 12v ... which might not work.
You haven't stated what the motor current is ...

I using a dc motor with 12 V 0.1A-0.3A~
if that is the case, what motor driver which can be found in element14 would you suggest me to use?
Why don't use the PiFace motor control new version ? I have never heard of this extra but in the PDF link it seems that is a sort of part completing an old PiFace motor control board.
Take a look to the specifications of the PiFace – PiFace Digital
