Starting Sunday, June 8, 2025, Nigerians will face increased fees for acquiring driver’s licences and number plates, following a recent approval by the Joint Tax Board (JTB). The apex tax body has officially announced new rates in a bid to reflect upgraded security features and escalating production costs.
According to an advertorial published in a national daily, the cost for a standard motor vehicle driver’s licence has been adjusted to ₦15,000 for a 3-year validity and ₦21,000 for 5 years. Tricycle and motorcycle driver’s licences are now priced at ₦7,000 and ₦11,000 for 3 and 5 years respectively.
The number plate charges have also seen a significant review:
Standard private/commercial vehicle number plate – ₦30,000
Articulated vehicle number plate – ₦90,000
Dealer vehicle number plate – ₦100,000
Out-of-series number plate – ₦150,000
Fancy vehicle number plate – ₦400,000
Government standard vehicle number plate – ₦80,000
Government fancy number plate – ₦120,000
For motorcycles, the rates are as follows:
Standard number plate – ₦12,000
Fancy motorcycle plate – ₦50,000
Government standard plate – ₦20,000
Government fancy plate – ₦50,000
The JTB has urged all licensing authorities and government agencies to ensure full compliance with the new pricing structure.
