The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) will by the end of the year introduce new vehicle registration number plates.
Board Chairman of the Authority, Frank Davies, said the new number plates comes with more advanced securitized features.
He said the DVLA is considering further reforms to guarantee ownership and safety of road users and vehicles.
Key among the reforms is the introduction of the securitised license plates.
He said there has been a little challenge with the securitised license, but preparations are advanced to operationalize the policy by the end of this year.
“We will launch it before we leave office,” the Board Chairman said.
Members of the public seeking to acquire driver’s license, but cannot read or write, thus are unable to partake in the DVLA’s computer-based test will no longer face any hurdle because other reforms have been tailored to suit their needs.
Deputy Chief Executive Officer of DVLA in charge of Operations, Prince Opoku Edusei, explained that questions and information about the computer-based test have been translated into six local languages.
Prospective patrons of DVLA services who cannot either read or write will now have the option of undertaking the test orally in a local language the person understands with the aid of headphones.
The reforms form part of a core upgrade of the DVLA’s twenty-five years of service to the Ghanaian motoring public.
Meanwhile, staff of DVLA from their various branches in Accra participated in a health walk on some principal streets at the Kotoka International Airport enclave to create awareness about their services while keeping fit on the job.
This activity follows a public lecture attended by stakeholders to deliberate on the challenges, successes and way forward of the institution’s reforms tailored towards the good of clients.
After 25 years of existence, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority continues to play a critical role in road safety in country.
