DVLA introduces six Ghanaian languages for driving theory tests

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has introduced six Ghanaian languages on its computer-based driving theory test platform to help applicants who have difficulty reading or writing in English.

Mr Kotey said the initiative was intended to reduce language barriers and help applicants demonstrate their knowledge of road signs, traffic regulations and safe driving practices.

Chief Executive Officer Julius Neequaye Kotey announced the initiative at the Government Accountability Series at the Jubilee House on Monday, October 12, 2026, describing it as part of efforts to make driver licensing more accessible while ensuring applicants understand the rules governing safe driving.
