The Chief Executive Officer of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority(DVLA), Julius Neeqyaye Kotey has disclosed that his outfit is ready to educate the public and all its stakeholders road safety, motor traffic and transport regulations, vision screening, fire safety, amongst others.
Speaking at the launch of DVLA’s 2025 National Community Outreach Program in Accra on Thursday, Mr. Kotey noted that the initiative aims to bring DVLA services beyond office spaces and directly into communities, stressing that the program will prioritize underserved communities to ensure equitable access to DVLA services.
He added that the program will help dispel disinformation, eliminate the activities of middlemen and uphold transparency and accountability in DVLA’s operations.
The 2025 National Community Outreach Program is an initiative that marks a major push to decentralize 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 organizations, and public gathering spots across Ghana.
With the DEMOBS, 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 and Upgrading of licence categories.
DEMOBS initiative is in collaboration with the 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 and Top TV/FM
