Non-compliant insurance offices in Cape Coast and Sunyani have been shut down by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) after being found involved in illegal activities related to defective vehicle (DV) plates.
The enforcement action comes after a thorough investigation uncovered that some offices were selling DV plates directly to private individuals at inflated prices. Certain operators were also using these offices to facilitate black-market transactions, bypassing official DVLA procedures.
“The unauthorized sale of DV plates exploits the public and undermines the integrity of our vehicle registration system,” the DVLA said, urging all citizens to transact only through approved channels.
The Authority has warned that similar violations will not be tolerated and encouraged anyone with information on illegal plate sales to report directly to DVLA via 0203 200 112 or info@dvla.gov.gh.
This crackdown forms part of DVLA’s broader efforts to enforce compliance and maintain transparency in vehicle registration and licensing processes across the country.
