The cost of driver’s licences and number plate for Nigerians is set to rise, with the Joint Tax Board (JTB) approving a price increase effective Sunday, June 8, 2025.
The JTB, Nigeria’s top authority for revenue matters, is urging the public to note the new prices and has directed all relevant government and licensing agencies to implement the adjustment.
According to an advertorial in one of the national dailies, the new approved prices for Motor Vehicle and Motorcycle number plates and driver’s licence, as approved, are as follows: Motor vehicle driver’s license for three years is N15,000, while for five years is N21,000. For a tricycle/motorcycle driver’s license, three years is N7,000, while five years is N11,000.
For number plates, the prices range in different categories and are as follows: Standard private vehicle number plate is N30,000; Standard commercial number plate, N30,000; Articulated vehicle number plate is N90,000; Dealer vehicle number plate is N100,000; Out of series number plate is N150,000; Fancy vehicle number plate is N400,000; Government standard vehicle number plate is N80,000; Government fancy vehicle number plate is N120,000.
Others are Motorcycle number plate N12,000; Fancy motorcycle number plate N50,000; Government standard motorcycle number plate, N20,000 and Government fancy motorcycle number plate N50,000.
The price adjustment, according to JTB, is due to the introduction of enhanced security features in the number plate and driver’s licence and an incidental increase in production cost.
JTB said the information on the price adjustment is on the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) website, www.frsc.gov.ng, and the Motor Licensing Authority (MLA) at States’ Internal Revenue Service offices, or Motor Vehicle Administration Authorities across the country.
