The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has commissioned two new offices at Dormaa in the Bono Region and Bechem in the Ahafo Region, marking another milestone in its mission to bring services closer to the public.

The commissioning ceremonies drew government officials, traditional leaders, municipal authorities, DVLA’s Board and Management, as well as members of the public.

Speaking at the events, the Chief Executive of DVLA, Mr. Julius Neequaye Kotey, said the new facilities reflect the Authority’s determination to make public service delivery accessible, efficient and people-centered.

He expressed appreciation to the Dormaa and Bechem Traditional Councils and other partners, noting that the achievements would not have been possible without their collaboration.

 Highlighting reforms undertaken in recent years, Mr. Kotey reaffirmed the Authority’s commitment to ensuring that   every driver is properly trained, tested, and licensed and that all vehicles are duly registered and roadworthy. He   further announced the rollout of new vehicle number plates in January 2026, an initiative aimed at     strengthening security, modernizing systems and enhancing service delivery.

 “Since assuming office, the Board, Management and staff of DVLA have pursued innovative reforms to ensure that   we fulfill our mandate while advancing road safety. Through these efforts, we continue to safeguard lives and instill   discipline on our roads,” he added.

In Dormaa, the Bono Regional Minister, Hon. Joseph Addae Akwaboa, described the new office as a significant development that will improve access to DVLA services, reduce travel time for clients and enhance road safety. He commended DVLA for aligning its expansion with the government’s decentralization agenda and commitment to better public service delivery.

At Bechem, the Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Emmanuel Kwame Frimpong, praised DVLA for choosing the  area as a strategic location. He emphasized the positive impact of the new office on the local economy, job creation,  and the convenience it would bring to drivers, vehicle owners, and transport operators in the Tano South  Municipality and beyond.

The DVLA Board Chairman, Mr. George Spencer Quaye, reiterated the Authority’s commitment to expanding its  reach nationwide, stressing that the Dormaa and Bechem offices are part of DVLA’s broader vision of modernized,  customer-focused service delivery.

“At the Board level, we are deeply committed to aligning DVLA’s growth with the national agenda of modernizing public services for efficiency and inclusiveness. We seek to ensure that no one is left behind, and that every Ghanaian, regardless of location, has equitable access to road transport services that are reliable, safe, and efficient,” he said.

He encouraged staff at the new facilities to serve clients with integrity and efficiency to build public confidence in DVLA’s services.

The commissioning of the Dormaa and Bechem offices brings to six the number of DVLA facilities inaugurated within the past eight months, bringing the Authority closer to its strategic objective of ensuring that every region and major district has convenient access to vehicle licensing and road safety services.
