However, make sure you collect and keep the payment receipt because you’ll need it as your payment proof. You can confirm the payment at the State Board of Internal Revenue (BIR) office. Visit the State BIR Office with your payment receipt to confirm your payment.

3. Complete Your Biometric Data Capture

This is done by an FRSC Officer at the Driver’s Licence Centre (DLC) for biometric data capture. It involves taking your photograph and fingerprints. You are to come with your printed application form. However, some offices will only need your Application ID to access and print a copy themselves.

4. Pick Up Your Licence

Before you visit the DLC for pickup, make sure your license is ready. The FRSC has a tool for tracking your drivers license application tool. Visit www.nigeriadriverslicence.org/license/trackStatus and track your application from there.

Finally, visit your DLC, Motor Licensing Authority (MLA), or VIO with your completed application form or temporary card to collect your original driver’s licence card.
