In Abuja a fresh license is 10,450 for 5 years validity and 6,450 for 3 years validity

VcStunner:
Just like your international passport, it is almost with certainty I will tell you that the driver's license may be produced abroad. Ofcourse Corp marshal said N6,300, so if you pay more than that you're part of the problem.
But however you refuse to renew because you heard a "rumor" that it is above N20,000, they will flag u down like they actually know you don't have it, then they will collect 6hrs and N35,000 from you. And you will go home hating this shithole and everything in it. And the aggression continues to spread until those lazy fat belly unproductive individuals are purged from d system and replaced by vibrant and agile wasting youths.

Pls where exactly in Abuja? I need a fresh one and I always hear some people say go to VIO while others say FRSC.

jazzyjazz:

Frsc office zone 7 beside nafdac office
The process there is that a VIO officer first validates your forms Then you proceed to capture
Be sure to have your certificate from an accredited driving school

MIKOLOWISKA:
frsc are all youth

osteenbush:
The price for 3 years drivers license is 6,350 while that of 5 years is 10,450, however, there are procedures one has to follow before the amount mentioned above is paid into the bank and these include online downloading, acquisition of driving school certificate, acquisition of learner's permit etc, these are some of the reasons why it is expensive to procure. If you can get all these on your own without the help of anyone, then it might be cheaper but if you can't, negotiate and arrive at a reasonable price, provided you get a genuine one.

bibe:
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.

So how did you tackle the driving school requirement?

VcStunner:
ofcourse they are... if we were just considering those who know nothing about operational policies. cuz I believe those are possibly the only ones u and I see yeah?

bibe:


Got my first licence in 2004 and then you weren't required to provide certificate from a driving school.
It's a recent development but it's not much of a hassle. Just register with any accredited driving schools and they'll issue you a certificate after your driving lessons which you'll now submit together with your application for driving licence at your preferred FRSC licencing office for further processing.

MIKOLOWISKA:
and they are more corrupt than the fat old ones

Partnerbiz:


Those guys will take between 10k to 15k to do that shit.
And it's all eye service.

VcStunner:
apparently this corruption thingy is rather made to look tough to deal[b]its very tough unless you abolish govt [/b] with when u and I know that when we make the system water tight,you think
i know it cannot they won't be able to deal. so long as there are humans
deals will be made
its our nature In America even police on patrol take bribes fam! na jjc no sabi dat one
So my point is... because the big guys in the offices benefit massively from the loop holes, they wouldn't be eager to address such a porous system and yet seat tight on those positions. Isn't that why our PIB is still watered down and yet to be passed after 8yrs?

MIKOLOWISKA:
that's not a point
everyone knows that

VcStunner:
alright pls make ur point... cuz I don't see yours either

VcStunner:
alright pls make ur poinwhat point do you want me to maket... cuz I don't see yours either

kuss:
I went to do drovers licence at ikeja license office at old secretariat on Thursday
After paying the official 6k online the people at the license office insisted i pay additional two thousand five hundred before my form could be signed
The funniest thing is that the 2k5 was not receipted
Even the people at vio office collected 1500 to for the test that is suppose to be free
The only people that are clean in that secretariat are the road safty
They do capturing for you without collecting a dame from u
Thank God i was able to do capturing and collected temporal drivers licence same day

So where did you finally go? I need one urgently too. Am in Abuja

mowaaa:
8,350 naira is what I paid in total for renewal

Process
Went to the official drivers license website
Filled it and I chose renewal for 3 years
I chose the option not to be re-captured ( my fingerprints are still the same)

Was told on the site total fee is 6,350 for 3 years
Chose to pay at the bank

Note when you pay at the bank, they will give you a drivers license "validation number "( very important)

Went to FRSC ojo office ( it's inside ojo local government)

First went to the Board of internal revenue office....they gave me a form to manually fill and attach 2 passport A total waste because those information sought was already filled online

Demanded 500 with a straight face without any receipt ofcourse ( first case of corruption)

Submitted the completed form with the online form + validation number receipt and passport photos after I had made photocopies.....after this, this was were the almost endless wait began.
Took over 2 hours before I was called to come pickup the signed forms

Then was asked to proceed to VIO office ( still inside the ojo local government).
"Bros you are welcome" was the greeting before the "you'll pay 1k"
I asked what the payment was for?
Gibberish answers about how everyone was else has paid
I told them but I thought it was just those who applied for the first time that needed to pay.
They said for new applicants, they charge 2k
Ofcourse after I paid the 1k, no receipt was given(2nd case of corruption)
Great thing about the VIO was that the process was fast! In few mins, forms had been returned signed

Then proceeded to FRSC office.
You'll pay 500 naira was the first response after looking at my form.
The officer could see in my face I was wondering what the payment was and he came with this crap of how he tells people that immigration office charges way for the international passport than the official price

Paid and I wasn't given a receipt either.
Told to come back next day for recapture.
I told him when I filled the form online I chose not to recapture. He checked the system, confirmed I chose not to recapture and gave me the signed forms and said I should wait for an SMS telling me to come pickup my driver's license when it's ready

The forms will have to be in the car incase I ever get stopped by FRSC / police/lastma/vio while driving

So there you have it
Govt coffers: 6,350
Corrupt coffers: 2,000

Total : 8,350
