OWNERS OF VEHICLES REGISTERED BEFORE 2023 TO PAY GH¢25 TO DVLA FOR RECORDS TO BE UPDATED DIGITALLY
Owners of vehicles registered before 2023 will have to pay GH¢25 to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) for their records to be updated digitally, the Director of Driver Training, Testing, and Licensing at the DVLA, Prosper Kafui Semevo, has announced.
Addressing a press conference in Accra on Tuesday [Jan 13, 2026], he said the onboarding process was meant to verify the ownership of manually registered vehicles and also block uncustomed vehicles from the system.
Mr Semevo explained that the onboarding process would require customers to personally visit DVLA offices and other designated centers with their vehicles, registration documents, custom declaration forms, and Ghana card for their bio data to be verified.
He has therefore urged vehicle owners who are yet to be onboarded onto its digital platform to do so to be able to obtain a title certificate and electronic registration card, which would be a requirement when the new licence plate policy is rolled out.
He said customers would pay GH¢25 for the verification of their biodata.
“We encourage all customers to try and visit our offices to be onboarded. If you do not onboard, you can not obtain a title certificate and electronic card when the new licence plate policy starts, and this means that you can not register your vehicle.
“Again, if you fail to do it, you will be violating the road traffic law, and you will be dealt with by the law.”
Mr Semevo, however, said vehicles that were registered between January 2022 and December, 2023 would not be onboarded yet, “so the owners of those vehicles should wait until they are asked to do so.”
