The person doing it for me said one month now is already one month ,
.pls tell me how to get it fast God bless you

Person doing it for you?? Hope you went directly to frsc office cos they're supposed to capture you live. Then they'll give you a provisional license valid for 3 months, at the end of the 3 months you go and get your license. I can't remember but I think you'll get a message to inform you when it's ready, I you don't then take the provisional license to the frsc office you registered at and they'll check if it's ready. Things like this are simplr and you shouldn't have to go through some shady source to get it done.

I know the person you quoted wanted to say three months and not three years.

It takes minimum of three months before it comes out. Most people don't know this thus they wait until it's time to start driving before they start applying for the driving license (driving school certificate first).

If you want to start driving immediately, go to the driving school and obtain driving permit. Note that this permit has lots of limitations as it cannot be used anywhere driving license is required for official documentation.

After three months, go do capture and in two weeks maximum, you will get your permanent driver's license
That permit requires that a licensed driver be in he car with you at all times. But na naija dem nor de send most times.

To get your license go to the motor vehicle registration office and let them help you if you go to drivers license office direct it may take longer. Another Reason is they can’t run with your money they work together

The process should be a day affair but because they are seriously understaffed and the office is in dire need of an upgrade it takes longer. It should be a big building with standard floors for each of the needed services as well as large printing office

3 - 4 staff for millions I can’t blame them they tried.

It takes like 2 to 4 months. Once you are confirmed to have meet the necessary requirement,(driving school etc) you will given a temporary one which expected will expired in two months as the permanent one is expected to be ready in that first two month. If at the of the two month, the permanent one is not ready, the temporary license will be stamped again to be used for another two month. Within this last two months, the permanent one will definitely be ready.
Note: this is subject to your location

Step 1. Obtain a driving school cert. takes three months,

Step 2. Download of applicants details online

Step 3.Payment into govt kofa.

Step 4. Attachment of Learners permit

Step 5. Biometrics. Inside the capture room, you're issued the temporal license.

In one to two months time the plastic aka permanent is out.




If you're not cleared, dm me for assistance. Tenkiu!

Is there a time limit for driving certificate. I mean does the certificate expires if you fail to use it to apply for driving licence in time?

National I.D is tough because of elite people causing insecurity, don't you know insecurity is business for some people to loot money without probe. I believe you hear the reaction from Boko Haram leader when communication minister propose Max of three registered SIM card for citizen and must connect to BVN.

Why didn't you do it yourself? Just 7k and you will get temporal one the same day and permanent one in just over two weeks later. You just have to pass some oral tests they will give you.

Due process... Lol Bros I paid #20k cash .. something I thought I'll be getting in a months btime now it's almost 3yrs

lonelydora:


You decided to go through the normal due process by paying #6300 or so.

See, in Nigeria things don't work that way. I always pay #12,000 to get mine in less than 1 month.
Re: How Long Does It Take To Get A Driving License? by amsktn: 10:07am On Mar 09, 2020
Hi,
let me help you out.

UNDERSTAND THIS.

The driving licence process has two stages.
1- driving school certificate
2- the driving licence

DETAIL OF NO.1 you have to get DRIVING SCHOOL CERTIFICATE which is taking 24 days to come out. ie. from the day the driving school enroll you to FRSC server.
the delay mostly come from here where the driving school that collected your money fail to register you in time on the portal. they spend the money you pay them until they get other income before paying 2000 to FRSC for your enrolment.
your certificate start reading 24days from the day FRSC get 2000 enrollment fee.

DRIVING CERTIFICATE FEE defend on the driving school. is government has no control in it. is normally N7,500


DETAIL OF NO.2 When certificate is out, in one day you can get driving licence.
this process, you can do it yourself.

Log in to FRSC portal. www.nigeriadriverslicence.org
fill in your detail (NB you cannot change NAME & DoB)
Pay 6350 using ATM card detail
Printout the Form after payment
THE NEXT DAY (this is to allow the payment to drop to the FRCS from your bank), submit to VIO office for signature (this may involve practical driving test) they collect N300 or N500
Take same form to Internal Revenue Office for signature also. pay N300 or N500
lastly to FRSC capturing center (you can check online for your state or LG). they will Sign and do Biometric capturing and PRINT TEMPORARY DRIVER'S LICENCE FOR YOU.

WAIT ONE MONTH FOR PERMANENT DRIVER LICENCE which is plastic.

SUMMARY: DRIVING LICENCE TAKE A MONTH TO COMPLETE AND COLLECT IT. anything more than a month, there is problem.
It sometime happen from FRSC. you can easily verify this. FOR THIS, you can call FRSC office number. .......
