FRSC Tells Nigerians How Much A Driver’s License Costs

Posted on by

Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Mr Boboye Oyeyemi, in Abuja on Tuesday, has said that the original Driver’s License (DL) in the country costs N6,350 and can be obtained from any DL office by applicants after a bio-metric capturing.

While speaking at a one-day workshop organized by the commission for members of security agencies in the country on verification procedure of Driver’s License and number plates, Oyeyemi emphasised that authentic licenses were produced in all the licensing offices in the country and that the process was very easy to follow.

“Members of the public who give money and passport size photograph to anybody in order to collect driver’s license are doing disservice to themselves.

“Going through third party costs more money and produces fake license to unsuspecting applicants, which is an offence. Cost of original driver’s license is N6,350 and the applicant must go for biometrics at any licensing office across the country to obtain the license. This is safer and costs less compared to the ones that pay third party for driver’s license and at the end of the day, they will be apprehended for carrying fake license,” the corps marshal said.

Oyeyemi further warned that it is a criminal offence for anyone to possess a fake license, and anyone caught would be prosecuted.
