The DVLA also stated that vehicle registration now costs between GHC53.00 and GHC644.00 depending on the engine capacity of the vehicle involved.
On the first day of registration the authority experienced heavy congestion at its operational centers but that is beginning to ease due to the prudent measures put in place.
The authority has set up two client service centers in addition to beefing up personnel at the DVLA bank. The initiative has largely contributed to the easing of congestion at the centers.
