Here's a step-by-step guide on how to obtain a new Nigerian driver's license:
Eligibility Criteria:
- You must be at least 18 years old (for a private driver's license) or 21 years old (for a commercial driver's license).
- You must have a valid identification document (e.g., national ID card, international passport, or voter's card).
- You must have a valid medical certificate from a government-approved hospital or clinic.
Application Process:
- Step 1: Gather Required Documents
- Completed application form (available at the FRSC office or online)
- Two recent passport-sized photographs
- Valid identification document
- Medical certificate
- Proof of payment for the application fee (N1,500 for a private driver's license and N3,000 for a commercial driver's license)
- Step 2: Submit Application
- Take the completed application form and required documents to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) office in your state or local government area.
- Submit the application and pay the application fee.
- Step 3: Take the Theory Test
- After submitting your application, you will be scheduled for a theory test.
- The theory test consists of multiple-choice questions on road safety, traffic rules, and vehicle safety.
- Step 4: Take the Practical Test
- If you pass the theory test, you will be scheduled for a practical test.
- The practical test assesses your driving skills and ability to operate a vehicle safely.
- Step 5: Receive Your License
- If you pass the practical test, you will be issued a temporary driver's license.
- The temporary license is valid for 60 days, during which you must return to the FRSC office to collect your permanent driver's license.
Fees:
- Application fee: N1,500 for a private driver's license and N3,000 for a commercial driver's license
- Theory test fee: N1,000
- Practical test fee: N2,000
- Permanent license fee: N2,500 for a private driver's license and N5,000 for a commercial driver's license
Note:
- The fees mentioned above are subject to change, so it's best to check with the FRSC office or website for the latest information.
- You can also apply for a driver's license online through the FRSC website, but you will still need to visit the FRSC office to take the theory and practical tests.
