Post new topic

i have bee in Ghana for a half of year, and want to change the China drive licence to  Ghana's.

what formalities should be issued? and the cost?

thank you !!

It isn't too expensive. Take your licence to the DVLA with 2 photos and you will fill in various forms in different areas and when you have completed the preliminaries you will go to the area where they take your photo and prepare the final licence. They issue you with a paper one first and then after a couple of months you can collect the plastic one.
Make sure you also have your Ghanaian ID card as they might not give you one without it.

OK, madam, thank you very much!

but today, i call the kumasi officer manager, he said: i should  stay in Ghana for  at least 1 years.

and passport with work visa is not allowed? ID card only?

Sorry, I forgot that requirement! I was only in Ghana a few weeks when I got my licence 3 years ago. You could go to the office yourself as sometimes there is flexibility.
The new ID card for foreigners is for everyone who is in Ghana for lnger than 90 days and the adverts say that it may be required when opening bank accounts and getting a drivers' licence. It will also be needed after 2nd September to renew resident's permit

The flexibility  is very important word!
