About DVLA Ghana
DVLA Ghana is the short form of driver and vehicle license authority in Ghana. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) is an agency of the Ministry of Transport in Ghana. It was established in 1999 by an Act of Parliament (Act 569), 1999. DVLA came to replace the Vehicle Examination and Licensing Division (VELD). The main functions of drivers and vehicle licenses are to register motor vehicles and drivers, as well as issue driving licenses, vehicle registration certificates, insurance documents, etc.
DVLA was weaned off government subvention in March 2016 and it’s important to note that the process of getting a new license or renewing an old one can be quite lengthy. But you are able to do it yourself without having to go through long lines and wait at various offices.
In making their jobs very simple and easy they introduced a shortcode that all drivers can use with their smartphones to save them time and money.
