New DVLA office opens in Asuogyaman to improve access, fight licensing fraud

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has opened a new office in the Asuogyaman District of the Eastern Region, aimed at improving access to licensing services, enhancing road safety, and combating fraudulent vehicle and driver documents. This facility, part of the DVLA’s decentralisation programme, will offer vehicle registration, driver licence acquisition, and renewal services to residents within the district.

The 25th of 40 district offices being established nationwide, the new office is expected to bring DVLA services closer to the people, facilitating easier access to driver education, licensing, and professional training, while promoting discipline on the nation’s roads. Minister for Transport Joseph Bukari Nikpe highlighted the importance of avoiding intermediaries, commonly known as “goro boys,” who facilitate the acquisition of fake documents, and emphasized the availability of the new facility.
