‘Expired’ Driving Licence Remains ‘Valid’

{{People with expired driving licence will continue using them, according to the new ministerial instructions determining the modalities of renewal of national driving licence.}}

Article three of Ministerial Instructions No.01/MoSTrans/014 of March 5, 2014, partly states that “expired National Driving Licence remains valid until otherwise ordered.”

The new instructions modify the Presidential Decree No. 85/01 of February 9, 2002 regulating ‘General Traffic Police’ and ‘Road Traffic,’ which partly stated that a driving licence shall be valid for only five years.

The new orders by the Minister of State in Charge of Transport, Dr. Alexis Nzahabwanimana published in the official national gazette came into effect on February 1.

This means that all those with expired driving licence can continue using them until further notice.
