The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) issued over 14,400 DP stickers in September 2025 alone.

This marked a substantial increase from the previous monthly average of 1,800.

The introduction of the tamper-proof DP stickers has played a crucial role in this surge, addressing issues of fraudulent vehicle registration and ensuring better authenticity of vehicle records.

The new stickers are designed as one-time security marks that cannot be transferred or removed, thereby reducing illegal activities related to vehicle registration.

This increase in issued stickers is expected to enhance revenue collection for the DVLA, which will be reinvested into expanding services and improving infrastructure.

The Chief Executive of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), Julius Neequaye Kotey, revealed this significant achievement in vehicle registration security, when he appeared before the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament.

He also mentioned ongoing collaborations with private sector partners and government agencies to establish more registration offices closer to high-traffic districts, aiming to improve accessibility.
