You already know that for Naija, nothing works as in the book, so here's how to do it

1. Go to an agent or a driving school and pay for driving test and MLA fees, then submit your details or fill the form yourself

2. After a while, they will call you for biometrics and photo

3. You get your driving license when it is ready.

Minimum age is totally dependent on how tall you are

Maximum age depends on how rich you are

God bless Naija

Pls let no one call me to assist in getting a drivers licence for someone who is not physically present. We re here to help each other. Dl is not done by proxy. Your fingers will be captured, you ve to sign ur electronic signature and finally ur face will be capture b4 ur temporry will be printed. On the day of capturing ensure u ve some change in ur pocket incase u will fail the eye test. I failed the last one but I cleaned my eyes again and opened it widely and it became very simple. Only call me if you re real I don't do illegal things. I ve built a reputation for myself and I don't want anything tarnished it. I am not doing a different thing from what the post sttated but am making it quicker. Some spend months at home to be able to get a capturing date.

Did my biometric capture since January, was issued a temporary DL that expired in March. Went to the issuing office in may to check for the main DL, the temporary one was collected to use in checking if d main DL is ready. The temporary one was returned to me with "PENDING" boldly written at d back of it. My question is; does one av to wait a lifetime before getting one's DL?

You asked a vital question. Remember we re in Nigeria were things doesn't work faster. The same happened to me but eventually I got mine. The most important thing is to keep safely ur temporary one. Always take it to their office to extend the date for u. Each time the date they gave me expires, I do visit them with a photocopy of the temporary and they will stamp and sign with extended date. That's how I have been using it until I got mine

When i did mine in 2013, it took 5months to get the permanent one. Presently, i hope they have sorted whatever challenge that has made the delay stay this long.

This is how you check if your permanent card is ready; send NDL STATUS INPUT YOUR LICENSE NUMBER ( ENSURE ALL ARE IN UPPER CASE) TO 33811.
A REPLY WOULD COME BACK STATING THAT Your card is either ready for collection or not.

If it is ready then you can go get it from the MLA

Yeah, so true...

But for you to under go all these processes, takes time and will even spend more than required.
For those in calabar, you can reach me for assistance!

You'll skip the test and some few necessary tests, but will be called for your image capturing and finger prints..

FRSC officers are just extorting money from unsuspecting applicants.

I was charged #11,500 for the licence after another officer duped me of #8,000 and issued me fake licence and the licence was later confiscated in Abuja.

HEllo OP,
@ AutoJoshNG :
Pls I misplaced my original DL few months ago. How can i request for a new one pls? Any help on the process......
When I remember the stress I went thru while obtaining the former, it always discourages me to even attempt to start re-issuing procedure.
Its well.

Hello Harzan,

The process I know is visiting the Licencing Authority's office. Those who use someone to facilitate the process end up waiting for the same period of time as those who process theirs directly.

Re: How To Obtain Nigerian Driver's Licence by Kabeeru(m): 7:02pm On Aug 16, 2016
The procedure analysed wasn't correct cos an applicant doesn't pay to MLA or any individual but to bank. #6350. for 3years while 5years is #10450 official price. You start from driving school to FRSC for new application form after which you proceed to bank to pay. You then proceed to VIO for driving test and confirmation of payment made is done by MLA before you finally go to FRSC office for biometric physical capture.
