We Don't Need to Capture Your Data for Licence Renewal – FRSC

Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has said there's no need for data capturing when applying for renewal of driver’s licence, adding that the agency has departed from this old system long time ago. "I want to use this opportunity to tell motorists that they can renew their licence without going through capture. 

“The choice of coming to capture is yours, as long as we have your data base at the initial stage and its already in the system, you don’t really need to be captured any longer,” said FRSC Lagos State Sector Commander, Mr. Hyginus Omeje. He said there's provision to bypass data capturing if you're applying for a new licence. FRSC boss, however, noted that recapturing of data would only happen when people want to change their photographs or change their initial information. 

"The whole essence of renewal is to update your records. You might have changed your residential address and all other variables except date of birth which is constant. 

“It's possible that somewhere somehow you had an accident that has given you mark or scars on your face that was not there before, and if you don’t update your data by going for capturing, you may be embarrassed when you go to the embassy."
