Your driver’s licence, without the queue.
CTN processes Nigerian driver’s licences so you skip the queues and the touts. We handle the FRSC documentation, schedule your one biometric capture, chase the approval and deliver the licence. New applications and renewals alike.
Seven steps handled by us. One step left for you.
Getting a Nigerian driver's licence involves seven steps spread across multiple agencies, forms, payments, and visits: driving school certificate, FRSC pre-registration, payment through an FRSC-approved bank, biometric capture, instructor confirmation, application submission, and card pickup. Each step has its own queue, its own window, and its own way to go wrong. Driver's licence processing in Nigeria done DIY takes most applicants 10 to 15 hours scattered across two to three weeks. We compress that into one customer step.
Transparent government-fee handling.
The customer pays FRSC and the approved bank directly. Our ₦30,000 fee is invoiced separately. No markup on government rates. You see exactly what each fee covers.
One customer visit, not seven.
DIY processing requires multiple visits across FRSC, the bank, driving school, and back. We compress your involvement to one biometric capture appointment. Everything else happens in the background.
Doorstep delivery of the card.
Most agents leave card pickup to the applicant. We courier the physical card to your Lagos, Abuja, or PH address. The applicant's last interaction with the process is opening the courier package.

How driver's licence in Nigeria actually works.
The detail buyers and search engines look for, in plain language.
Getting a Nigerian driver's licence involves seven steps spread across multiple agencies, forms, payments, and visits: driving school certificate, FRSC pre-registration, payment through an FRSC-approved bank, biometric capture, instructor confirmation, application submission, and card pickup. Each step has its own queue, its own window, and its own way to go wrong. Driver's licence processing in Nigeria done DIY takes most applicants 10 to 15 hours scattered across two to three weeks. We compress that into one customer step.
We are the driver's licence processing company Nigerian executives, corporate HR teams, and returnee drivers use because the FRSC and bank-payment coordination is what eats most DIY applicants. Driver's licence installation through CTN means you provide the documents and attend one biometric capture appointment. Everything else (pre-registration, payment coordination, application submission, card collection, delivery) we handle. Three service types: new licence for first-time applicants who have completed driving school, renewal for expiring licences, and replacement for lost or damaged cards.
The driver's licence price in Nigeria is straightforward. We charge a flat ₦30,000 CTN processing fee per service. The customer pays the government's prevailing fees (currently FRSC fee plus the bank payment) directly, exactly as listed on the official portal. Best driver's licence in Nigeria for most applicants is the 5-year validity option because the per-year cost is lower. Lagos driver's licence processing moves fastest because most FRSC centres are local; Abuja and PH applications use the same 2-to-4-week turnaround. After licensing, our IDP service issues the international permit for travel.
What it costs
Pricing for driver's licence is from N30,000 ctn processing fee. Flat ₦30,000 CTN processing fee per service (new, renewal, or replacement).

We confirm the exact government fee estimate at quote. Typical turnaround 2 to 4 weeks. Volume pricing available for corporate fleets (10+ drivers per batch).

Who uses driver's licence processing in Nigeria.
Drivers who completed driving school and need the FRSC licence to drive legally. Most common new-licence applicant is a recent driving-school graduate. We coordinate the school certificate handover into FRSC.
Nigerian driver's licences expire after 3 or 5 years depending on the validity chosen at issue. Renewals run faster than new applications because the FRSC record is already on file. Bulk renewal common for corporate fleets.
Lost-and-stolen replacements require a police report. Damaged-card replacements require returning the old card. Both run through the same CTN processing channel with the same ₦30,000 fee.
A record you can check.
Questions, answered.
How much does a driver's licence cost in Nigeria?
Government fees vary by validity period (3-year vs 5-year). CTN charges a flat ₦30,000 processing fee on top. We confirm the government fee estimate before you commit. Total cost is the sum of both, paid in separate streams.
How long does processing take?
Typical turnaround 2 to 4 weeks from order. Renewals run faster than new applications because the FRSC record is already on file. Lagos files often complete within 2 weeks; Abuja and PH within 3 weeks.
Do I have to visit the FRSC?
Once, for biometric capture (about 30 to 45 minutes). We schedule the appointment around your availability. Everything else (pre-registration, payment coordination, document submission, card collection, delivery) we handle without your involvement.
Can I renew a licence before it expires?
Yes, we recommend renewing 4 to 6 weeks before expiry to avoid any gap. Renewals process faster than new applications. Same ₦30,000 CTN fee.
What if my licence is lost or stolen?
Replacement service. Requires a police report. Same ₦30,000 CTN fee. The government fee structure for replacement is similar to renewal. We handle the police-report-to-FRSC handover and deliver the new card in 2 to 4 weeks.
