You can apply for a renewal urself online pretty easy then make sure you print the form and take it to their office after making payment to the designated bank. By doing this you will save urself money. Those Frsc staffs frown at people who do this but do it anyways because it’s legal. 6 Likes |

Re: How Much Does It Actually Cost To Get A Drivers License In Nigeria? by jhydebaba(m): 1:42pm On Feb 27, 2018 |
When I wanted to get one, I went to an FRSC office. There was an official in uniform who was supposed to open the door for me to gain entrance rather he demanded what I was doing there. I told him I wanted to get a licence, he said it will cost me 23000. He gave me his number. I never look back . After that, I was looking for cheap card so I was introduced to two different middlemen who charged 25000. I give on naija. |

I have successfully renewed my license twice for #6350. Basically the charge is #6000 for 3 years license and #10000 for 5 years license, with additional #350 bank charge in both cases. Renewed first time in Abuja and second time in Abakaliki. You can actually do this yourself totally by going online, filling the form in their website, making payment at the bank and proceeding to their office with the forms for further processing. If you opted for recapturing, then you'll be recaptured at their office. However, ensure you know your road signs as you'll be tested by VIO office. If you don't pass this test you'll be charged some amount I think it is #1500 and you'll be issued with a CD and a small pamphlet containing road signs and their meaning and will be rescheduled for the test. You'll be issued with a temporary license and will receive an SMS to come collect your licence when it is ready (usually within 60-90 days). The problem is people always resort to hearsay and are always in a haste and that's why the get ripped off. Please stop encouraging the rot in the system and use the official channels to get your licence. PS: I also got my first passport the same way. Didn't pay any extra money, went to their website, filled the form, paid the fee and went to the immigration office. Cheers. 14 Likes 1 Share |

jhydebaba: If it's renewal you want to do, go online and renew. If it's new licence you are applying for, it's still the same fee however, you are now required to go for driving lessons and most provide a certificate from a driving school before you'll be issued a licence (3yrs licence is #6350 and 5yrs is #10350. Most driving schools charge about #10000-15000) Just look for an accredited driving school, do your lessons get your certificate, go online on frsc website and fill your form, proceed to the bank to pay and then go with all the credentials to the frsc office you indicated when applying online for further processing. 1 Like |

Re: How Much Does It Actually Cost To Get A Drivers License In Nigeria? by bibe(m): 2:07pm On Feb 27, 2018 |
maballack: Whether new or renewal, the cost is the same. However due to new regulations, if it's the first time you are applying for licence, then you must tender a certificate from a recognised driving school. That's the only bottleneck between getting a new licence and renewing an expired one. 2 Likes |

Re: How Much Does It Actually Cost To Get A Drivers License In Nigeria? by bibe(m): 3:08pm On Feb 27, 2018 |
Edipee: The issue is that you must tender a driving certificate due to a recent regulation. So even if you learnt to drive without going for driving lessons, you are still required to tender a certificate which is where a driving school comes in. I don't stay in PH however, you can do a quick Google for driving schools around mile 4 I'm sure you'll get some good results. You can also visit the nearest ones around you and inquire if they are accredited by FRSC (normally they should have their accreditation certificate framed and on display). Cheers. 2 Likes |

I paid 28k for a new license. The incompetent official that did my capture seemed more interested in my address and relationship status than any other thing. Eventually, he made a mistake and the temporary one issued had motorcycle on it instead of private. He then told me that it can't be changed because it had been sent and that I will have to wait till the permanent one is issued, then it can be sent back to be corrected. This means I have to wait for a very long time. I can't wait to leave this country. 2 Likes |

KrystosCJ:The driver's licence is one of the best systems currently in the country, only second to the Banking sector. The BVN cannot even compare not to talk of the shabby thing called NIN. DL project is well structured to ease the process of application and properly managed to meet international best practices, if Nigerians (officials) are cutting corners the normal way our society have come to accept, then the fault is with the people not the system. 2 Likes |
