DVLA, Police Launch Nationwide Crackdown on Illegal DV Plates

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), in collaboration with the Motor Traffic and Transport Department of the Ghana Police Service, will begin a nationwide crackdown on vehicles using 2025 DV plates and expired DP stickers from Tuesday, March 24, 2026.

In a public notice, the DVLA said the use of 2025 DV plates and DP stickers had been temporarily extended due to delays in rolling out new vehicle licence plates. However, after issuing the 2026 DV plates on February 4, 2026, to motor traders, fleet owners, and licensed trade plate dealers, continuing to use 2025 plates or expired DP stickers is now illegal.

The Authority reminded motorists that DV plate usage is regulated under Regulation 23 of the Road Traffic Regulations, 2012 (L.I. 2180), which specifies the types of vehicles permitted to use them. Vehicle owners whose cars do not fall into these categories are required to complete proper registration under the law.

The DVLA also noted that all its offices have been registering vehicles for 2026 since January 2 and urged motorists to comply with the regulations to avoid penalties during the enforcement exercise.
