DVLA urges public to adhere to guidelines for 2023 vehicle registration

The Public Relations Manager for the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), Francis Asamoah-Tuffuor has urged the general public to abide by the requirements for vehicle registration in 2023 to help solve the problem of congestion at DVLA registration centres across the country.

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority earlier announced some required procedures for vehicle registration in 2023.

A press statement by the Licencing Authority stated that processes for the registration period are expected to begin on January 3, 2023.

Speaking on the Uniiq Breakfast Drive, Mr Francis Asamoah-Tuffuor noted that guidelines are expected to solve some issues related to vehicle registration. Some of these issues include overcrowding at registration Centers, Delays in Vehicle registration, vehicle registration fraud and among other related issues.

He entreated vehicle owners who have not yet registered their vehicles to avoid driving at night since it will be difficult to retrieve details about the car in the case that they are stolen.

He also added that Vehicle owners should not hand over their documents to random people or Middle Men which he referred to as “Goro Boys” assuming they work for DVLA.

“For vehicles that are not registered, there is no need to be driving those cars at night or at dawn because once they are not registered that particular vehicle could be snatched. And once it is snatched it will be difficult for us to get the details of the vehicle in the system.”

“People shouldn’t give their documents to anybody at all that the person works for DVLA. You don’t assume in the eyes of the public. So once you get to DVLA ensure that you work with people with the tag or ID indicating that they work in the institution” he said.
