The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has warned the public against scammers posing as the Authority and sending fake fines to unwitting members of the public.
In a statement released on June 10,2026,the Authority explained that the scammers send SMS messages containing links that redirect recipients to fake platforms, where they are asked to pay supposed DVLA fines sometimes with claims of discounts or urgent payment deadlines.
The DVLA warned that these messages are fake and should be ignored by the general public.
The Authority also stated that they barely provide discounts on fines and that any SMS, web, platform or individual claiming to provide discount on DVLA fines should be regarded a fraud.
It also reminded the public that the only acceptable online payment gateway for DVLA transactions is the Government of Ghana’s official payment platform at https://www.Ghana.gov.gh, and that its official website remains www.dvla.gov.gh.
Members of the public who receive such suspicious messages are encouraged to report them to the nearest DVLA office or the appropriate law enforcement agency.
