The Ranking Member on the Roads and Transport Committee of Parliament, Governs Kwame Agbodza has urged the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) to intensify education on its decision to make any changes to the current driver’s license.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has announced the commencement of an exercise to phase out all old driver’s license cards issued before September 2017 from the system.
The DVLA says these old cards will be replaced with smart driver’s license cards.
This was contained in a statement issued by the DVLA on September 6, 2023.
The exercise, according to the DVLA, takes effect from now till 31st March 2024, after which all old card driver’s licenses shall be rendered invalid by the Authority.
The Authority is thus inviting all holders of old card driver’s licenses to submit them to the nearest DVLA office for verification and replacement.
Mr. Agbodza who has raised concerns with the decision said the DVLA must inform the public properly of the new changes to the driver’s license.
