{{Traffic Police has reduced the time of production and issuing of driving licence to two weeks.}}<\/p>\n
Chief Superintendent (CSP) Felly Bahizi, the Commissioner for Traffic and Road Safety Department announced this on Monday.<\/p>\n
Initially, acquiring a driving licence took between two to three months from the date of submission of application forms.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf applicants provide all the necessary details like names and ID numbers correctly, the licence will be delivered in just fourteen days,\u201d CSP Bahizi explained.<\/p>\n
He blamed previous delays to the flow in the software that could not detect errors during production process at traffic department level before reaching the National Identification Agency (NIDA).<\/p>\n
\u201cErrors such as ID numbers and Names, wrongly recorded, could only be detected at the National Identification Agency, which would delay production and issuing of driving licence as they would be brought back for correction,\u201d CSP. Bahizi said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSeveral reforms have been undertaken and proper systems are now in place. We have upgraded software which now detects such errors before reaching NIDA, thus cutting down the production time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Application forms, he explained, will also be collected by both driving schools and District Police Units (DPUs) traffic officers before handing them in to the Traffic and Road Safety Headquarters.<\/p>\n
\u201cPolice has increased the number of skilled officers to manage the data. Also, a well selected and supervised team has been established to conduct the marking exercise,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cDriving licence tests will be conducted one province after the other. By the time all the four provinces are finalized, Kigali City, inclusive, results for the first two provinces will have been published on the TRS web page.\u201d<\/p>\n
This, he said, is in line with the force\u2019s process of improving service delivery and minimizing cases of fraud.<\/p>\n
With upgrading of software all the 366 people, whose licence had not been issued for the last 15 months, due to such errors, received them on Monday.<\/p>\n
