Corps Marshal of the
Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Mr Boboye Oyeyemi, has said that the original
Driver’s License (DL) in the country costs N6,350 and can be obtained from any
DL office by applicants after a bio-metric capturing.
Oyeyemi while speaking in
Abuja on Tuesday at a one-day workshop organized by the commission for members
of security agencies in the country on verification procedure of DL and number
plates said authentic licenses were produced in all the licensing offices in
the country and that the process was very easy to follow.
“Members of the public who
give money and passport size photograph to anybody in order to collect driver’s
license are doing disservice to themselves.
“Going through third party
costs more money and produces fake license to unsuspecting applicants, which is
an offence. Cost of original driver’s license is N6,350 and the applicant must
go for biometrics at any licensing office across the country to obtain the
license.
“This is safer and costs less
compared to the ones that pay third party for driver’s license and at the end
of the day, they will be apprehended for carrying fake license,” the corps
marshal said.
Oyeyemi further warned that
anyone found with a fake license would be prosecuted as it is a criminal
offence.
