The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) says it is aiming for a more than 60 percent increase in vehicle registrations by the end of 2025, driven by the nationwide rollout of new Ultra Centres designed to streamline services and expand access.
As part of efforts to modernise service delivery and enhance efficiency, the DVLA is expanding its footprint through the opening of Ultra Centres across Ghana.
These facilities are expected to offer faster, more user-friendly services to the public, including quicker vehicle registration and licensing processes.
Deputy Chief Executive of the DVLA, Foster Akwasi Asante Esq., said the initiative could result in a substantial boost in registration numbers. “The move may help increase vehicle registration beyond 60% and more,” he stated, expressing confidence in the success of the strategy.
The Ultra Centres are operated by Bridge Direct in partnership with VFS Global. Alok Singhal, Head of Sub-Saharan Africa at VFS Global, assured the public of high-quality service backed by cutting-edge technology and operational excellence.
In a further effort to improve accessibility, the DVLA announced plans to introduce driver licensing tests in selected local languages. The Authority says the new testing options, expected to launch officially by the end of next month, are aimed at making the licensing process more inclusive and accessible, particularly for applicants more comfortable in their native languages.
The DVLA believes the combined impact of enhanced infrastructure and more inclusive services will not only improve customer experience but also drive a major increase in registrations before the year ends.
