The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has announced a GH¢25 fee for the current vehicle onboarding process, which is part of the Authority’s ongoing efforts to migrate manually registered vehicles onto a digital platform.
The onboarding process requires vehicle owners to present their vehicle, registration documents, Customs Bill of Entry, and Ghana Card for biodata verification. The full cost of onboarding is GH¢288.55, which includes a Certificate of Title and Vehicle Registration Card (VRC).
However, the DVLA has reviewed the process and determined the GH¢25 fee for biodata verification to facilitate migration onto the digital platform.
The GH¢25 fee does not include the Certificate of Title and VRC, which can be obtained later when acquiring the new licence plate. The DVLA emphasizes that clients should not pay more than GH¢25 during the onboarding process and should report any staff making excessive financial demands.
The Authority aims to roll out a new digital licence plate system once the LI 2180 amendments are approved. The new system will feature RFID-embedded plates with zonal codes replacing year indicators, enhancing security and traceability.
