DVLA, Police To Clampdown On 2025 DV Plate And Expired DP Sticker Users From March 24
The Drivers and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) in collaboration with the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service, has announced a clampdown on users of 2025 DV plates and expired DP stickers effective Tuesday, March 24, 2026.
In a statement released , the Authority explained that the clampdown follows the release of 2026 DV plates in February 2026, which automatically rendered the continuous use of 2025 DV plates and expired DP stickers illegal.
The DVLA highlighted that although challenges in preparing for the rollout of new vehicle license plates last year necessitated the extended use of 2025 DV plates and DP stickers, the issues have since been resolved, with 2026 DV plates now being issued to motor traders, fleet owners and licensed trade plate dealers who had applied, rendering the continuous use of 2025 DV plates illegal.
The Authority called on all vehicle owners currently using 2025 DV plates or expired DP stickers to comply with Road Traffic laws whiles warning of legal consequences for defaulters.
