The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has commenced the pilot phase of its new Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-enabled number plates as part of efforts to the vehicle registration system.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, September 29, the DVLA disclosed that the pilot phase forms part of measures to improve security and enhance the efficiency of the vehicle registration system.
“The new RFID-enabled number plates incorporate enhanced security and identification features designed to improve the authenticity and traceability of registered vehicles. In addition, these features include the inscription “REPUBLIC OF GHANA” prominently displayed at the top of the plate, the Ghana flag at the top-right corner, a biennial renewal sticker ring at the top-left corner, the region of registration displayed at the bottom, and a watermark of the map of Ghana at the centre of the plate.
The DVLA added that the initiative follows the passage of the Road Traffic Regulations, 2026 (L.I. 2519), and forms part of its broader programme to strengthen the integrity, security and efficiency of Ghana’s vehicle registration system.
