The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), in partnership with the Ghana Police Service’s Motor Traffic and Transport Department, will commence a statewide crackdown on vehicles bearing 2025 DV plates and expired DP stickers on Tuesday, March 24, 2026.
Due to delays in the rollout of new car license plates, the DVLA announced in a public notice that the use of 2025 DV plates and DP stickers has been temporarily extended.
However, using 2025 plates or expired DP stickers is now prohibited after motor merchants, fleet owners, and qualified trade plate dealers were issued the 2026 DV plates on February 4, 2026.
The Authority reminded drivers that the types of vehicles that are allowed to wear DV plates are specified in Regulation 23 of the Road Traffic Regulations, 2012 (L.I. 2180).
Owners of vehicles that do not fit into these categories must legally complete the necessary registration.
Additionally, DVLA stated that starting January 2, all of its offices have been registering cars for 2026 and advised drivers to abide by the rules in order to avoid fines during the enforcement action.
