The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) is set to officially launch its 2025 National Community Outreach Programme on Thursday, April 24, under the theme “Educating for a Safer Tomorrow”.
The initiative marks a major push to decentralise DVLA services and enhance road safety awareness nationwide.
At the heart of the outreach is DVLA’s Express Mobile Service (DEMOBS) — a roving mobile unit designed to bring driver licensing services directly to communities, workplaces, religious organisations, and public gathering spots across Ghana.
With the DEMOBS vans, Ghanaians can now access a full range of DVLA services without visiting a DVLA office. Services offered include:
- Application for new driver’s licences
- Renewal and replacement of expired or missing licences
- Issuance of International Driving Permits
- Conversion of foreign licences
- Upgrading of licence categories
The programme will also offer on-the-spot road safety education and licensing regulation awareness, aimed at reducing road crashes and promoting responsible driving habits.
Launch Details
- Date: Thursday, April 24, 2025
- Venue: Neoplan Station, Circle, Accra
- Time: 10:00 AM
Interested groups, including corporate institutions, churches, mosques, transport unions, and community associations, are encouraged to reach out to DVLA to schedule a visit from the mobile unit.
DVLA is rolling out the initiative in collaboration with several national agencies and organisations, including:
- Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service
- Ghana National Fire Service
- Ghana Ambulance Service
- National Road Safety Authority (NRSA)
- Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU)
- Ghana Optometric Association
- Top TV/FM
The outreach is generously sponsored by Margins Ghana, Verna Mineral Water, and Consolidated Bank Ghana (CBG) — whom DVLA credits for helping make the programme a reality.
Speaking ahead of the launch, a DVLA spokesperson said, “We’re not just offering convenience; we’re building a culture of safety. We encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to access services and learn more about safe driving.”
For further details or to schedule a mobile visit, the public is encouraged to call 054 939 9981.
