DVLA to open six offices abroad to address fake licenses

In a bid to end the menace of fake licenses, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has revealed plans to set up six offices abroad.  

This new initiative was revealed at the commissioning ceremony of the newly constructed state-of-the-art DVLA office in the Adentan Municipality, on Wednesday, May 7, 2025.

The new Adentan office is equipped to offer 24-hour service delivery including other services associated with DVLA like issuing of driver license and registration of vehicles.

Speaking to the media at the commissioning, CEO of DVLA Julius Neequaye Kotey stated the first phase of the initiative will be implemented in the UK, Germany, USA, Canada and others.

“The DVLA under my leadership, together with Foster Yeboah, is going to open six new stations, which are going to be outside Ghana to address licensing issues. So far, we have approached some embassies, and we have been able to get Germany, UK, USA, Canada, Dubai, and South Africa on board. We are going to begin piloting with them,” he said.

Guest speaker at the event, Minister for Transport, Joseph Bukari Nikpe entrusted the DVLA with the responsibility of quality service delivery and living up to their mandate.

“On behalf of the president we charge DVLA, to improve service delivery. They are responsible for registering and ensuring that any vehicle that plies our road is roadworthy.

“They are to ensure that they register every vehicle and provide that kind of quality service to the people of Ghana,” he stated.
