Two newly inaugurated offices of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority in Abuakwa and Bonwire are expected to significantly ease the pressure on service centres in Kumasi in the Ashanti region.
The Authority says the move forms part of a nationwide strategy to bring DVLA operations closer to underserved communities.
The facilities will decentralise and improve access and streamline essential licensing and vehicle registration services in the Ashanti region.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) opened the two ultra-modern service centres following a successful Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement.
The new offices are expected to reduce long travel times, improve service delivery, and serve thousands of residents who previously had to commute to central Kumasi for routine licensing processes.
Ashanti Regional DVLA Manager Jerry E. Aflabo says the Authority is dedicated to upholding professional standards and ensuring accessibility for all road users.
“Driving is a profession and a privilege, and there should be standards to ensure people who acquire licenses are qualified. DVLA is ensuring this is done in an easy and effective manner. The Authority has made it a strategic priority to make its services more accessible, hence the expansion of our offices across the country,” he said.
The office contains compartments that will provide diverse services of the DVLA and ease pressures on the authority and aspiring drivers.
The Regional DVLA Manager explained that the new centres reflect the DVLA’s broader push to decentralise its operations, highlighting the role of private partnerships in achieving this goal.
“We do this through private partnerships to make provision for offices that will open up the services we offer. Abuakwa is a strategic area far from Kumasi, yet connected to several communities, so many people seeking our services no longer have to take the toll of travelling to Kumasi.”
