The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has increased its nationwide footprint from 33 to 63 offices after launching 30 additional service centres over the past 18 months. Chief Executive Officer Julius Neequaye Kotey revealed the expansion at the Government Accountability Series held at Jubilee House on Monday, October 12, 2026.
“Within 18 months as Chief Executive, we have opened 30 new offices, thereby increasing the number of visible DVLA offices from 33 to 63 as we speak,” Kotey said, emphasizing the aim to improve access to driver licensing and vehicle registration services for communities that previously had to travel long distances.
The new facilities comprise 12 full DVLA offices and 18 Ultra Centres created in partnership with the private sector. Communities now served include Adentan, Bole, Dormaa, Bechem, Salaga, Nalerigu, Navrongo, Tumu, Nkoranza, Asuogyaman, Yendi and Atebubu. Ultra Centres have also been set up in Tema Port, Dansoman, Akwatia, Asamankese, Ashaiman, Teshie‑Nungua, Nsawam, Kasoa and Pokuase‑Kwabenya.
Work is underway to open further service centres in Dambai, Kete Krachi, Enchi, Twifo Praso and Konongo, Kotey said, as the authority continues to bring its services closer to the public.
The expansion is part of DVLA’s broader strategy to reduce travel distances for customers completing licensing and registration processes, making the services more accessible nationwide.
