Our Story

Historical Background

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) was established to create a centralized system for managing driver licensing and vehicle registration in Ghana. Prior to its establishment, these services were fragmented across various regional offices with inconsistent standards and practices.
