The following details the steps required to renew your driver's licence in Lagos, Nigeria. This is based on my recent experience. I'll try to be as detailed as possible but let me know if you have any questions.
The process can be split into 3 stages: Pre-application, Online Application, and DLC process. The whole thing can be done in a day.
PRE-APPLICATION:
My driver's licence was soon to expire and I started to experience the typical anxiety most people feel when they need to go through a process involving Nigerian government agencies. A number of questions needed answering so I got on Google ASAP.
QUESTION 1: Can I start the process online?
Answer: This was easy. The website http://www.nigeriadriverslicence.org shows up as soon as you type in "driver's licence" on Google.
QUESTION 2: Should I start the process now or should I wait for the licence to expire first? In other words, is there a grace period after the licence expires?
Answer: Nairaland had a number of conflicting opinions on this. Most people seemed to believe that there was a grace period after the licence expires. Some others even claimed it was risky starting the process before the licence expired. This notion is however incorrect.
I did some digging online and found an extract from the 2012 National Road Traffic Regulations (available here: http://frsc.gov.ng/publications) which states you can apply for a renewal "any time within a period of one calendar month before the expiry date of the licence." I also messaged the FRSC Nigeria Facebook account and the response was straightforward, "No grace after expiration please. You have to start the process as the license is about expiring."
In short, the grace period is 30 days before the licence expires. So I started the process immediately.
ONLINE APPLICATION
1. Go to http://www.nigeriadriverslicence.org and click on "Driver's Licence Renewal" (or "Renewal of Driver's Licence" under "DL Application"
2. This takes you to this page https://www.nigeriadriverslicence.org/dlApplication/renew where you are to enter your
Driver's Licence Number and Date of Birth. Note: If your drivers' licence is not going to expire within 30 days, you won't be able to proceed past this point.
3. On the renewal page, select between a 3-year validity period for N6,350 or a 5-year validity period for N10,450.
4. Complete the rest of the form with your personal details and contact/mailing address. You can choose to edit your information here (just check the edit box) or you can retain the details you had as at your last application. You can also add your Taxpayer Identification Number (just the 6 digits without the "N-" if you are so inclined.
5. If you do not need to change anything, you can skip to the bottom of the form where you fill in the Processing Office Details. The state and local government where your licence was initially processed will be indicated here, however you need to select your preferred FRSC Capture Center to conclude the process (I wasted some time here trying to figure out the difference between Eti-Osa_I and Eti-Osa_II then just went with Iru_VI eventually)
6. Next you have the option of repeating the bio-metric data capture or not. Unless you have undergone significant physical changes in the last 3-5 years, please select "No" here.
7. Submit
8. Note: If for any reason, you have to reload this page, please start over and select "No" under the bio-metric re-capture option again. When I first tried to submit and I had to correct something on the form, I noticed that the selection had defaulted to "Yes"; so I simply restarted the process from step 2 above (it doesn't take 5 minutes).
9. Once you are done, you will be shown the completed ML15R form on a Driver's Licence Application Preview Page. This will have all the application details with three options at the bottom of the page: 'Print', 'Proceed with Payment', 'Cancel'
10. I strongly advise you proceed with the online payment at this stage. It's the normal Interswitch process and pretty straightforward.
11. Once you're done with the payment, you will be taken back to the updated Driver's Licence Application Preview Page with the Payment Status updated to Payment Confirmed and the expiry date extended by the validity period you paid for (3 or 5 years)
12. Go to the bottom of the page and click on 'Print'
DLC PROCESS
1. Print 2 copies of the completed Driver's Licence Application Preview Page
2. Make 2 copies of your current driver's licence. Also have the original with you.
3. Take 2 passport photographs
4. Head to your selected FRSC Capture Center. If you can find the VIO "Road Sense" CD/DVD that you were given when you first applied for your driver's licence, please take this along with you.
5. At the center, present items 1-3 listed above (alongside your current original driver's licence) to the FRSC officers.
6. Next you will be directed to the VIO office (same building)
7. Present the above-listed items to the VIO officials.
8. At this point, you will be asked to pay N1,000. This is where the "Road Sense" CD/DVD comes in handy. The N1,000 payment is for a test and the CD. I mentioned that I was given the CD the last time I renewed my driver's licence and they asked if I had it with me. The explanation was that they couldn't simply accept my word that I had the CD. However, if I could present the CD, they would take out the cost from the N1,000. I didn't belabour the matter.
9. After paying, you need to take a test. I was given a verbal test although the VIO official pointed out that it should/could have been a written test. The test was simple enough and it essentially became a 5-minute educational discourse. Just be patient and remember, the maximum speed limit in Lagos State is 80km/hr 
10. After successfully passing the test, the VIO official will give you a signed Driver's Licence Checklist, and also complete required parts of the printed Driver's Licence Application Page.
11. Back at the FRSC desk, you need to make copies of the signed Driver's Licence Checklist and the signed Driver's Licence Application Page (with your passport photograph attached).
12. These copies attached to a copy of your current driver's licence will be further signed by the FRSC official and this forms your temporary driver's licence.
The new driver's licence will be ready in 3 months. 3 what? My 5years re-issued is not yet ready since January I applied. |

Pls kindly note the following; this process is for those that possesses the original drivers license and not those with fake or the old license that expired in 2014. For these categories, applicants will be required to first register for a refresher course in any of the approved driving school and wait for their certificate to be ready which is usually within a period if 26 days (Officially). When the certificate is ready, applicant proceed to the website and download form using the steps provided by OP but instead of renewal, he will click on fresh application. This is usually restricted and reserved for the FRSC officials due to the technicalities such as verifying the driving school certificate. I will advice to you proceed to the FRSC office with your driving school certificate and completed application form for them to help u download it. 1 Like |

The new driver's licence will be ready in 3 months. Op thanks for d education. Pieces like yours endear me to nairaland. However I'd like to make some additions/corrections Its a process that cumulatively spans less than three hours altogether as opposed to less than twenty-four. A five year renewal costs 10,350, not 10,450. For those not favourably disposed to online transactions like me (I have had horrible experiences and can't be convinced otherwise), you have the option to click pay at bank, preferably with pay arena. On a lighter note, that 1000 charged by VIO appears fraudulently compulsory! 1 Like |

10. After successfully passing the test, the VIO official will give you a signed Driver's Licence Checklist, and also complete required parts of the printed Driver's Licence Application Page.
11. Back at the FRSC desk, you need to make copies of the signed Driver's Licence Checklist and the signed Driver's Licence Application Page (with your passport photograph attached).
12. These copies attached to a copy of your current driver's licence will be further signed by the FRSC official and this forms your temporary driver's licence.
The new driver's licence will be ready in 3 months. |

Theory is always different from practice in Nigeria oooooo
You didn't also include bribes/tips?
Nobody goes to FRSC licence office without that. I did my own last year and DID NOT PAY A DIME. Are you writing this from experience or theory? 1 Like |

Nobody goes to FRSC licence office without that. I did not have to bribe anyone and no one requested for anything extra. The only additional payment was the N1,000 for the test & CD which I got a receipt for. So long as you do not go with the expectation that you have to bribe anyone, you should be fine. Just make sure you have your original licence and application print outs with you, as required. The system works if we work it. |

Hello?
What if one fails the 'simple' test after paying all those cash? I doubt if you'll fail the test. Like I said, they were quite lenient. I got the first question they asked correct. I struggled with the second (some road sign I had seen but never really paid attention to before) and got questions 3 and 4. The VIO official simply used the opportunity to educate me. I listened to him patiently and thanked him politely when he was done. I believe if you treat these officials politely (as equals, not condescendingly nor like demigods), they will simply do their jobs. At least that has been my experience with FRSC mostly. 3 Likes |

Where you might likely be delayed unnecessarily is the 1k part. I'm very s sure the VIO guys will be waiting to extort you as they don't like making things easy. I stand to be corrected though. Fingers crossed. I wasn't delayed at all. I asked what the N1,000 was for and they told me it was for the test and the CD. When I said I already had the CD, they asked if I brought it with me. I didn't push the matter after that but they did say if I had the CD with me, they would deduct the cost of the CD from the N1,000 and only charge for the test. Then again, it's N1k. And I got a receipt for it. Compared to the thousands that some of us had paid some unscrupulous individuals in the past and didn't get anything (no receipt, not even a temporary licence), I think this is fair enough. |
