How to Renew Your Nigerian Driver’s License Online

In Nigeria, driving with an expired driver’s license is not recommended. The driver’s license provides proof to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) that you were properly trained and licensed to drive in the United States. The majority of licenses are good for three or five years. Thanks to the launch of an online portal, you can now renew your driver’s license in Nigeria online.

However, there’s a catch: the process isn’t totally online. There is an initial online component to the process, but you will still need to visit the nearest physical location to finish it. Another key factor is that your driver’s license must be due to expire in fewer than 30 days.

In this post, I’ll take you through how to go through the initial online process to renew your Driver’s License in Nigeria. You should read through it if you need to do this soon.
