SIMPLIFICATION OF THE STEPS TO TAKE IN GETTING DRIVERS LICENCE IN NIGERIA

FRESH APPLICANTS
for fresh applicants the government made it compulsory for applicant to pass through the driving school for the driving test before they are presented to the MVAA (motor vehicle administration agency) for applicants payment.

after the neccesary payments,the candidates are presented to the VIS (vehicle inspection services),commonly refferred to the VIO for
1. eye tests
2.written test
3.road sign test
4.driving test
if the candidate performs satisfactorily,then his form is signed and billed for capture onto the database with the FRSC(federal road safety corps),if unsatisfied with the applicant performance,he/she will be requested to come back for the exam/testing after a period of 7 days.

the FRSC handles the capturing (taking of biometrics and pictures of applicants)


WHY THE PROCESS
Just like every other government projects, like the international passport, the involvement of the FRSC in drivers license was designed to make the license uniform all over the country by creating a database and templates for the drivers license...(ordinarily,the drivers license was formally issued by the state government agency called VIO).

WHATS OBTAINABLE
due to the problem of corruption bewildering the ountry as a whole,the whole process has been ridiculed,eg
1.driving test is rarely done @ any drivers license center
2.candidates not wanting to appear physically for the biodata,and instead prefers to bribe through the process
3.permanent driving license taking months or years to get.
4.unnecessary accumulation of backlog on the part of the capturing office
etc

thank you so much for the detailed information. I want to renew my old licence, will all these processes be followed?
