The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has announced that it has upgraded its printing facility to deliver an average of 15,000 driver’s licences daily, with a target to clear all existing backlogs before the second week of November 2025.
The Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, disclosed this in Abuja after inspecting the FRSC’s printing farm, noting that the new system was designed to address the perennial delays associated with processing driver’s licences and vehicle number plates.
“Our printing facility has been upgraded to print an average of 15,000 driver’s licences daily. This production average will be increased to clear the backlog before the second week of November 2025,” he said.
According to Mohammed, the FRSC is also about to commence contactless biometric capture with on-the-spot printing of the licence, which will eliminate temporary licences, thereby signalling the beginning of a digitalised one-stop shop for processing driver’s licences.
He added that with the development, delays and other challenges related to the national driver’s licence were expected to become history.
