The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has announced a nationwide suspension of all fines issued by its Compliance Team on Ghana’s roads, effective Wednesday, October 15, 2025. The suspension is set to last until further notice.
This decision follows weeks of intensified enforcement operations by the DVLA aimed at ensuring strict adherence to legal and regulatory requirements by drivers and vehicles. However, after receiving public feedback and conducting internal consultations, the Authority has opted to temporarily halt the exercise in order to facilitate broader engagement with stakeholders.
In a statement released on October 14, the DVLA reaffirmed its commitment to road safety but acknowledged the need for more comprehensive public education on the responsibilities and consequences of non-compliance. “This suspension relates specifically to the fees that were being enforced by the Compliance Team,” the statement clarified. “It does not suspend the legal requirements for drivers and vehicles to operate on Ghana’s roads.”
The Authority assured the public that the pause is intended to foster further dialogue before the compliance initiative is reintroduced. Meanwhile, all drivers and vehicle owners are reminded to continue observing road safety laws and regulations.
