After selecting \"DL Application\" and choosing \"New Driver’s License,\" applicants must input their driving school certificate number and personal information, ensuring all details match their National Identification Number (NIN).

After booking, make payment via the Remita payment gateway, with options including card, bank transfer, or USSD. Ensure payments are made through the official portal only.
