The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has announced the introduction of extended service hours across selected offices nationwide as part of efforts to improve service delivery and expand public access.
The new arrangement will take effect from Monday, May 4, 2026, and forms part of broader reforms aimed at modernising operations and responding to growing demand for more flexible service hours.
Under the initiative, fifteen DVLA offices will operate daily until 10:00 pm through a two-shift system. The selected locations include Nahrhman (near Haatso), Weija, Tema, Bolgatanga, Wa, Tamale, Takoradi, Cape Coast, Koforidua, Sunyani, Ho, Techiman, Kumasi, Winneba, and Tarkwa.
The Authority says the move aligns with government’s 24-hour economy agenda and is expected to ease congestion at offices, reduce waiting times, and provide convenience for working individuals.
DVLA officials also noted that the extended hours will help minimise the activities of intermediaries, commonly known as “middlemen,” by encouraging direct access to services.
However, the Authority clarified that all payments made after 5:00 pm will be strictly electronic to ensure transparency and secure transactions.
The DVLA has urged the public to take advantage of the new system while cooperating with ongoing reforms to enhance service delivery nationwide.
