Drivers license

Nigeria

In Nigeria, the minimum age to qualify for a drivers licence is 18. The applicant would first attend training at an accredited driving school. Then, the driving school will present the applicant to a Vehicle Inspection Officer (VIO) for a driving test. Upon passing the driving test the applicant would obtain a certificate of proficiency from the VIO. The applicant then completes a drivers license application form at the Drivers Licence Centre (DLC) or downloads the form online. Afterwards the applicant pays a licence fee online or at the Bank and presents their application form to the Board of Internal Revenue (BIR) Officer and VIO at the DLC for endorsement. After all these procedures the applicant goes to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Officer at the DLC for biometric data capture, and is given a temporary drivers licence which is valid for 60 days. The applicant picks up the original drivers licence at the BIR Office after 60 days.
