The new number plates, currently undergoing pilot testing, are designed to enhance vehicle registration and security by providing real-time data access and improving law enforcement capabilities, according to the Chief Executive Officer, Julius Neequaye Kotey. The DVLA completed the concept and design in-house, avoiding consultancy fees. The RFID technology will allow for instant verification of vehicle details and integration with electronic road tolling systems. The system will also differentiate between private and commercial vehicles, including motorcycles. The DVLA has begun a nationwide sensitisation campaign to inform the public about the upcoming changes. In other developments, the DVLA has reportedly sealed revenue leakages at the ports by replacing aluminium plates with digital stickers, leading to a significant increase in revenue from DP stickers. The authority also renegotiated service level agreements for roadworthy certificates, resulting in substantial annual savings. The DVLA has expanded its office network and introduced digital innovations, including a demerit points system for drivers and the registration of excavators. Additionally, 357 vehicles were impounded and handed over to the Ghana Revenue Authority for non-payment of customs duties.
