Re: Getting A Driver's Licence In Nigeria by tashanja(m): 7:50pm On Mar 14, 2013 |
Pls I am filling out the online form (for renewal), does anyone know what the A,B,D & j options represent under the options for 'Licence Class'. My former lience was classed as E, which is presently not available for selection, so knowing the meaning of these would enable me choose what is most appropriate (wanted to choose B, but not sure if its the right one), pls help. |
Re: Getting A Driver's Licence In Nigeria by Nobody: 8:18pm On Mar 14, 2013 |
My current license is classed as B. I believe it's for vehicles that weigh less than 3 tons. |

Thanks everyone for their comment on Drivers licence thread. Simply put,to get an original drivers licence these are the procedures to follow (1)Log onto www.nigeriandriverslicence.org to download the application form (2)Fill the form and print out the filled form (3)Proceed to the bank with the bank paymenr code downloaded from the net to pay for the licence fee(N6350) (4)Take the payment receipt to the nearest BIR/VIO office for verification of payment (5)Get Approved by a registered driving school(driving school certificate). The driving school test you and stand for you that you are qualified to drive. (6)Go to the VIO office for eye test(to ascertain if you need a glasses when driving or not),traffic sign test(to ascertain if really an applicant understand traffic sign and can easily decode them)and defensive driving techniques/test. NB. An applicant refers to someone that must have passed through a driving school or other driving training techniques and have been passed by them Understanding english(spoken/written) is NOT a prerequisite for obtaining a drivers licence,what's most important is knowing how to drive and understanding the traffic sign and what it mean(traffic signs are universally accepted,the same sign you see in an english speaking country is what you will see in a french speaking or arabic speaking country)therefore,nairalanders should not confuse someone that does not understand english with someone that doesn't know the traffic signs. ......... ......Part 2 of the post will be available when I finish washing my uniform... . 1 Like |

VIO ke? Is it a type of lab test? ![]() The two times I paid for a driver's license (2008 first issue and Jan this year because I didn't know it had expired since June the previous year) I never got within 100m of a license office. A colleague collected my photos, some bio-data and 5k cash on both occasions. License came back abt 3 days later. Does this make the license fake? ![]() |

As the time this post was created, I had just walked out the FRSC office in Ibadan, logged on then saw this thread. :/ network no let me comment. This is what the lady in the Ibadan office told me. Buy a form of N100, then fill a form manually or online, then fill a form manually(with their assistance) or online, then go pay N6350 in Sterling Bank Dugbe, come back submit the form, go for verification at the VIO office. Then wait to get called for capture. Then wait 8weeks to be given a temporary Driver's llicence. Then wait 2-3 to get the original one. (Well she also said that for 2 months no capture has been done, because there are no materials, because they are brought from Abuja #myoga@thetop ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Tinyemeka: VIO ke? Is it a type of lab test? You didn''t know it had expired. ...lol. ...sorry about that, is there no reminder from the government or OGA AT THE TOP WON'T SEND IT OUT? Wrong leaders, they turn simple things to complications and make the life of citizens to living hell. INCOMPETENT OGA AT THE TOP ARE RUNNING THINGS that's why ORDINARY drivers licence have become a serious problem. |

Re: Getting A Driver's Licence In Nigeria by Tinyemeka(m): 7:10am On Mar 15, 2013 |
Venchy: Sorry. Not that I wasn't aware, I forgot. I received some alerts but those were reminders for my vehicle license renewals. Kept postponing them to when I had the chance to go for the renewal. You know I don't want to go and do something and my Oga at the top would say another thing later. So I was waiting for my Oga at the top to give me the go-ahead. Das all! |

blank: I have done mine. It took less than 30 days at Sura. Now, i have my temporary one that will expire this month. I was there yesterday. They don't intend rolling over the temporary permit so once it expires,you hold on until your permanent license is ready for collection. |

Tinyemeka: VIO ke? Is it a type of lab test? Very fake,bro. You could even have it done for 3k. |

-Haven't read anything about birth certificate, or age verification, so age doesn't matter in Nigeria again? -I guess I have a fake one ![]() Adding to topic, waiting a month for just a temporary license is silly!!! |

I paid and went through the tests since one year ago, I have not been called for image capture. I have been there like umpteenth time, wasting time and money. They keep giving me time extensions, and promising to call me when they are ready to capture my image. It's hellish. |

Re: Getting A Driver's Licence In Nigeria by DrBlack(m): 4:33am On Apr 04, 2013 |
Anayordike: Thank God this post is coming on at this time. It’s no doubt that since the announcement by th e FRSC of the new DL and the vehicle plate number, Nigerians have not hidden their fear, displeasure and doubts especially the manner the FRSC has been going about it. Many thought the intervention of the House or Rep. would at least reduce the cost and sufferings which fellow Nigeria will have to face before they are able to meet the criteria being laid down by the FRSC.how did u confirm that the 6k DL is not fake pls. |
