The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) is set to launch biometric international documents as part of efforts to enhance the global recognition and security of Ghanaian driving and vehicle credentials.
The upgrade, which aligns with international standards and Ghana’s obligations under the United Nations’ Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, seeks to address long-standing challenges faced by Ghanaian drivers whose existing International Driver’s Licenses (IDLs) and International Vehicle Permits (IVPs) have occasionally been rejected in some foreign jurisdictions.
