The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has officially rolled out its new policy mandating the 100% issuance of DP stickers and insurance coverage for Direct from Port (DP) registered vehicles through the State Insurance Company (SIC)—a move that recorded a highly successful first day, according to DVLA CEO Julius Neequaye Kotey.

Mr. Kotey, who personally visited the port alongside the Managing Director of SIC,  James Agyenim-Boateng, said they observed the process firsthand and received overwhelmingly positive feedback from stakeholders and the public.

“I was personally at the port with James Agyenim-Boateng to inspect the process and gather firsthand feedback, and I can confidently say the results were overwhelmingly positive,” Mr. Kotey said.

He extended his sincere appreciation to all stakeholders involved in the policy's implementation, highlighting their cooperation and commitment as key to the day’s success.

“Your cooperation and dedication were crucial, and I'm optimistic about the positive impact this will have going forward,” he added.

The policy is expected to improve compliance, road safety, and insurance coverage standards for newly imported vehicles.

The DVLA says it will continue monitoring and refining the rollout in collaboration with the SIC and other key partners.
