Vehicle owners will now, compulsorily, begin to use a digital platform to undertake all vehicle registration and other related activities, the Driver and Vehicle Licencing Authority (DVLA) has disclosed.
In a statement on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, DVLA said that it has successfully phased out the old manual system of vehicle registration and other related services.
Accordingly, existing and prospective vehicles will now access their online portal via online.dvla.gov.gh to register their vehicles.
The objective of the new system, the Authority reiterated, is to eliminate identity theft and false representations in the provision of its services.
DVLA added that going forward it shall accept only the national ID card as the mode of identity verification, citing the National Identity Register Regulations, 2012 (L) 2121, and in an effort “to enhance security, ensure traceability, accountability, and most importantly, improve the customer experience to drive productivity.”
“The National Identity Register Regulations, 2012 (L) 2111, require the mandatory use of the National Identity Card for transactions involving identity verification. This includes all services that involve applications and approvals.”
“The verification shall be conducted in person at any DVLA office or remotely via the mobile app “DVLA Verify,” available for download on Google Play or the Apple Store,” the statement added.
The Authority further urged registered vehicle owners to visit any of its offices to authenticate their vehicle records and complete biometric identity verification.
