The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has announced it will discontinue the issuance of aluminium Drive from Port (DP) number plates at all entry ports nationwide, effective August 1, 2025.
In their place, the Authority will introduce digital DP sticker numbers, a system that has already been successfully piloted at the Tema and Takoradi ports.
In a statement, the DVLA said the initiative forms part of efforts to enhance security, efficiency, and convenience for vehicle importers and the general public.
As part of the new system, the DVLA is partnering with the State Insurance Company (SIC) to ensure that every vehicle receiving a DP sticker is insured before leaving the port.
“This move is aimed at making DVLA services secure and efficient for our clients,” the statement read, urging the public to cooperate for a smooth transition.
The reform is expected to streamline vehicle clearance procedures and forms part of the DVLA’s broader digitisation agenda.
