The Chief Executive of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has disclosed that by the end of the first quarter of 2023, the integration of its database with the National Identification Authority will be completed. According to him, the DVLA’s technology infrastructure has been tried and tested pending the development of the application. “The technology infrastructure is ready, tried, and tested. What needs to happen now is the application that we need to work on. We have to do some coding on the application part to make sure that the systems are feeding into each other or handshaking so that once a person comes to DVLA and gives us their Ghana Card, we get every information about them,” he said as quoted by graphic.com.gh. He also noted that the merger will make it easier for applicants to access their driver’s licenses when they need to. “With the integration, when you are trying to apply for a driver’s license, there is no need to sit in our office for two hours to fill out forms. Once you give us your Ghana Card, we should be able to pull your data and make use of it,” he said. The DVLA noted that the integration will help other stakeholders such as the National Insurance Commission, the Motor Traffic and Transport Division, and the National Road Safety Authority.
