The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) is moving all of its records on licensed vehicles from analogue to digital.
As part of the digitisation process, documentations on vehicles from 1995 to date have already been digitised and starting from July 18, all vehicle registration are expected to be paperless as details will be transferred onto a smart card.
The move is part of efforts by the DVLA to reduce the human-to-human interaction in registering vehicles and also remove the use of paper documentation.
"The idea is to do away with paper but more importantly the digitisation is to remove the human-to-human interaction and thereby eliminate the 'goro' activity as well", Â the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of DVLA, Kwasi Agyeman Busia stated on Joy News.
He expressed optimism that the initiative will solve the problem of fake documentation on vehicles and ownership in the country.
"At any point in time, the one source of truth for a vehicle's owner is DVLA so for example if you got to the bank and you're using your car as a collateral, what we have now is the bank will consult DVLA through a mechanism we are establishing with and we are the only source to say this vehicle belongs to John/Jane Doe", he said.
The wide-ranging reforms by the DVLA which is to ensure that all drivers have been properly certified to handle vehicles will also see the phasing out of existing drivers' licence to be replaced with new ones with more security features to curb duplication.
