I went to frsc Benin office and was told I cannot renew a license expired more than 6 months,thus I have to apply for a new card with all the procedures like driving test, learners permit etc..

Please anybody with experience with renewal? Methinks the guys at the office are scam..please help

From my experience, regardless of whether you renew 6 months after expiry or a day after, you still have to go through the entire process. My license expired on the 7th of June and i went on the drivers license portal a week later and picked the renew option, i updated my data, paid the 6,950 fee and downloaded the form which still requires that you go to VIO for eye and road sign test and also for a capture. I really don't understand the need to capture finger print and photo again though but thats my experience.

Am afraid my 6950 will be wasted since my card was long expired ..thanks a lot tho..



anybody else renewed a more than 6 months expired licence ?

It is so unfortunate that we dont have standard in nigeria.
frsc dont even know their job.
every commission wants to make money by hook or by trick.....FRSC,VIO POLICE, CUSTOM, TRAFFIC POLICE, SOLDIER....
OVERLAPPING FUNCTIONS.

i thought there 're folks offering renewals of car papers and drivers license @ the car talk section?

i'll contact them

Okay.it turned out the Benin frsc official wasted to scam me of 13000.
I did the drivers license renewal myself for 6350 at their office at warri..
took me 1hr from payment to data capture and to collect the temporary one. I was impressed

maybe cos a relative gave me a note to them..doesn't matter tho..the point is,it can be done...

cheers

yes

first I had to goto Nigeriadriverslicence.org and selected-renew and filled the form.
After submitting, I was given an option of paying with my atm card via payrena payment platform..my card wasn't registered for securecode(necessary for MasterCard hence I printed out the form without paying ,then subsequently paid at fcmb bank ,okumagba avenue

I finally went to the capture office at pti road where lots of paper work as well as biometrics capture was done and my temporary license issued.all within 1hr.

I am having issues here with bayelsa command. I have done everything online, paid at the designated bank. Just for me to get to frsc here in yenagoa and was told I wasted my money and that they have their own procedure in yenagoa. That they don't follow online procedure. Insisted I will start afresh with them, voiding the 6350 I paid. Does anyone have their national commandant's number. You need to see how they collect up to 4k to fill the online form for people. I need help. Can't things go right fir once in this country?

This is one d reason why i do not like wasting my time with this pple.so so cony.so sorry to say this, been driving for yrs now with no valid license,just dont like going to this guys, they must find a way to scamm o defraud or cheat.i wok with th new frsc commander in the same unit in the church, but so bad i do not have his number,really do not need it i thought.

its rubbish talk from them.. they're looking for bribes to process yours . For the capture centres in Edo state,Lagos state and the 2 capture centres in Delta, the procedure remains the same as the online part.Maybe Bayelsa is more corrupt.

Yea, they are very corrupt. I had to involve abuja and finally, they did it. But they still extorted 1800 from me. 1600 for VIO and 200 for data capture. Very corrupt chaps. People spend as much as 12k-15k here for licence.
