The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has introduced clone detection machines (OBD II Scanners) to significantly enhance vehicle verification and protect the integrity of Ghana’s registration system.
These machines will help identify vehicles imported through unapproved channels that illegally clone the Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) of legitimate vehicles awaiting registration – a practice that has, in some cases, caused genuine vehicle owners to be wrongly flagged as already registered.
This deployment is a proactive measure to curb fraudulent registrations, improve vehicle security and reinforce the accuracy and credibility of the national vehicle register.
The DVLA urges all stakeholders and the public to cooperate with its officers as the Authority continues to promote transparency, safety and security within Ghana’s vehicle registration regime.
