Please Help!a Vio Officer Is About To Scam Me by Hemanwel(m): 7:05pm On Aug 12, 2016
Good day Nairalanders!Pls,I need your advice urgently.Towards the middle of last month,I went to the VIO office to get a new driver's licence and was told by one of the officers that it now has a new process.Was told the new processing fee is now 25k: 15k for the licence and 10k for the driving certificate (which he said would be ready in 26 working days)
Now,the issue is this: he told me to make an advance payment of 10k for the driving certificate and that I should call him after the 26 working days to know if the certificate is ready before I go for data capture.I called him earlier today for the certificate and he started telling me some unpleasant stories that FRSC haven't issued out any licence for the past two months and that I should call him from time to time for any new development.
Pls,what do I do about this issue?I need the licence as a matter of urgency.Pls help me!

It seems you have good knowledge on the DL issues. My DL will expire January on my birthday, i heard someone say that one must get a driving school cert, it doesnt matter whether its a renewal, reissue or new DL. That made no sense to me. I expect that only people who are applying for the first time need to get a driving cert, if no, that mean that every 3years i need a driving cert to renew drivers licence.

I attempted to start renewal process but the site replied "expiry date is more than 30 days".

U don't need a certificate for renewal, whoever told u dat was wrong, unlike applying for a fresh license, u can get ur license renewed within a day or two at worst, same goes for reissue!

yes, ur license must be 30days or less to expiration before u can renew it!

u can contact me for assistance when its time for ur license renewal!

Good evening Madam , I was driving down to lagos from Kogi state today when high way mobile policemen stopped me for my vehicle particulars routine check . I tendered my tinted permit and was told it's an old one . I was also told that the new issuance of the tint permit just started last month and it has picture profile and electronic signature on it just like we have on driver's license.

Please , help confirm these statements madam .

Thanks !!!

yes, there is a new online tinted replacing d offline type. the last time I checked tho, d capturing machine was not yet available in all states, not even in Lagos, which means d normal tinted was still allowed pending when d machines will be available.

Good information.
Police won't want to hear, stories about one machine is not available. Most of them are not even aware t this new tinted permint . last time I checked their HQ , I was the one teaching them about the new online tinted permit.

Nevertheless, you can still hold on to ur previous permit while you present them a print out of the online application only for prove of enrollment

Nigeria is a funny country, so we need certificates inorder to drive a car.

I thought going to a driving school and passing the VIO drive test was ok.

No wonder we have all sorts of nonsense activity on the road because people just pay money and collect driving certificates only to be rewarded with free Death Certificates for their efforts. What a shame! sad

we were told it was rectified n dat certificates will be printed, our own driving school even demanded for extra fee on each cert which we agreed to pay but up till now, we ve not seen anything. so he may be right. just exercise patience, I believe it will still be resolved.
