The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has announced extended service hours in certain offices across the country as part of its efforts to improve service delivery and public access.
15 DVLA offices will operate under a structured two-shift schedule until 10:00 p.m. every day under the new arrangement, which goes into effect on Monday, May 4, 2026.
Nahrman (next to Haatso), Weija, Tema, Bolgatanga, Wa, Tamale, Takoradi, Cape Coast, Koforidua, Sunyani, Ho, Techiman, Kumasi, Winneba, and Tarkwa are among the offices that are impacted.
The Authority states that the program is in line with the government’s larger 24-hour economic goal, which seeks to increase citizen convenience, accessibility, and productivity.
According to DVLA, the additional hours are anticipated to shorten long lines, relieve office traffic, and give people who are unable to access services during regular business hours greater flexibility.
In an effort to modernise operations and encourage cashless transactions, the new regulation would restrict all payments made after 5:00 p.m. to electronic options.
The Authority has urged people to use the longer hours to get services directly, pointing out that doing so will increase efficiency and lessen dependency on intermediaries.
In order to fully operationalise a 24-hour service framework across all of its offices nationally, DVLA further requested public collaboration.
