Any where you are, you no longer need to spend your whole day at an FRSC office to start your driver’s license application.
You can begin and complete most of the process from your phone.
1. It costs:
3-year license: N15,000 FRSC fee
5-year license: N21,000 FRSC fee
2. Step by step guide:
– Go to nigeriadriverslicence. org on your Chrome browser. You can also request Desktop Site mode on your phone if the page does not load properly.
3. – Click on DL Application then select New Driver’s License.
4 – Enter your driving school certificate number and fill in your personal details accurately. Your name must match your NIN exactly.
5 – Select your preferred FRSC Driver’s License Centre for biometric capture and book an appointment.
6 – Make payment through the Remita gateway on the portal. You can pay by card, bank transfer, or USSD. Do not pay anyone outside the portal.
7 – Print your payment receipt and attend your biometric appointment on the scheduled date with all your original documents.
8 – A temporary license valid for 60 days will be issued while your permanent license is processed.
9 What you need before you start:
You must attend an FRSC-accredited driving school first. Without a driving school certificate, your application will be rejected.
10. Driving school fees run from N15,000 to N35,000 depending on the school. You also need your NIN, a valid means of identification, and a passport photograph.
11. The process is online and self-service. Anyone offering to help you for a fee outside the official portal is taking your money and putting your application at risk.
12. The realistic all-in cost including driving school, learner’s permit, eye test, and VIO test runs from N45,000 to N82,000 if you do it independently.
