The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has announced its plans to open six offices abroad in order to combat the use of fraudulent licenses by Ghanaians living overseas.

This was disclosed during the opening ceremony of a new state-of-the-art DVLA office in Adentan Municipality on Wednesday, May 7.

The Adentan office will operate 24/7, providing services such as driver licensing and vehicle registration.

DVLA CEO Julius Neequaye Kotey explained that the pilot program will begin in countries like Germany and Canada, among others.

“Under my leadership, the DVLA, along with Foster Yeboah, is going to open six new stations outside of Ghana to address licensing issues. We have already approached several embassies and secured participation from Germany, UK, USA, Canada, Dubai, and South Africa. We are going to begin piloting with them,” he said.

Transport Minister Joseph Bukari Nikpe, who was the guest speaker at the event, urged the DVLA to enhance its service delivery and fulfill its mandate effectively.

“On behalf of the president, we charge DVLA to improve service delivery. They are responsible for registering and ensuring that every vehicle on our roads is roadworthy. They must ensure that every vehicle is registered and provide quality service to the people of Ghana,” he said.
