Dr. Black:
how did u confirm that the 6k DL is not fake pls.

aieromon:

Its an original fake. All they do is backdate the date of application.

Dr. Black:

did they also input it in their system? how can i check?
a VIO agent stopped me once and said it was a fake and after all the gra gra i was made to pay 2k.

aieromon:

They can't input the information because the system has stopped generating licenses. Check the validity here

moyems: Hello tweeps. I was @ d FRSC/VIO offices @ Ojodu berger area to process my vehicles papers andd renew my license. Now I have this license which I did less than 2yrs ago and thought am okay where license is concern. When I got to the office to find out how I can renew my vehicle papers/road worthliness/insurance etc I was asked for my license just to confirm if its real or fake and behold they said it was fake and explained to me why. This is what I was made to understand. Doing a license by proxy means u have done a fake license. Proxy means u submitted passports/cash to any individual @ any office as the case may be. The right thing to do is visit a FRSC office, they will check thhe validity and authenticity of ur current license which is the first step. Then if its in their database it means its real but if not it means u did it by proxy and its fake. But for mine, my valid license is fake so I had to present my older license which I knew I did @ a FRSC office in Benin some years ago. This when checked on their system brought my complete data and finally they were able to start off a process for me. They downloaded a form for me which I filled and submited before they could input the data and others in their system. I took copies of these to the bank to pay #6,350 and brought the teller and the documents back to road safety. They directed me to where I and others did an eye test plus an examination which had 20 questions to answer in 5mins. After we finished, an officer took us to another office where they gave us the results of our performances and our documents to go register them @ another office. After doing the registeration, we were told to go to the last office to book a date for capturing and biometrics. My date is 27th Oct 2013. So you see my dear, getting a driver's license in 9ja is now a big deal. The process na die!!! It takes the whole day. Although I was a bit lucky because I paid 500 box to an office to hasten a part of the process. You can pay the fee for the license @ Eko bank, UBA and one other bank I can't remember. Here is the fine for defaulters as I was made to understand: driving with a fake license attracts a fine of 20k. Driving with an expired license/papers attracts 20k plus you will have to do the license or papers all over again b4 you car can be released. My candid advice is for everyone to do the new license @ FRSC to advoid these fines.

Thank you all

Now, i have a serious bragging right in case any son of 'Egunje' stops me on the road. Expiry date is still far away October

The bolded is funny.

Blame your wicked state government. For me any govt that encourages people oppression in the guise of raising funds is a wicked government.

OK THANKS, a form for DL renewal came up with no detail apart from DL number, DoB and application date (today) , tried other DL numbers(random numberJAA1234AA) and the same thing came up.

Its quite easy to get a drivers license, i did mine and exactly 60days i got the original from BIR.
Firstly if you have an old license, you should go to FRSC office and they will use it to generate a form of which you will go to the bank and pay 6300naira i guess.
Take the receipt to the VIO for signing and inspection which might take same day if u pay them 2k.
take the receipt again back to FRSC office they will input your whole data and capture your biometric and immediately print a copy of your license and then give you 90 days to go to BIR TO collect yours. Note : BIR will ask you for 500 naira lol
very easy and fast in enugu state

trix1:
Some people seem to have filled the form and paid the fee, but Nobody here has said they have the new licence.
please is there ANYONE who has the new licence?

sunrize:

I think checking on their portal/website might be one way to go. I believe if the details found there about your last or current 'issue' match, then it implies you have an original otherwise ...

nich:




unfortunately, i just tried out my own advice to you and i could not find anywhere on their website that allows confirmation of last or current 'issue'. Instead, i found 'Track DL application status' which returned a No Previous Record Found For The Parameters Provided response.

I guess we might just wait for someone else with a better & functional advise/guide.
