If you’re learning to drive or preparing for your driver’s licence, the first step is to apply for a provisional licence. Also known as the learner’s permit, this document legally allows you to practice driving on Nigerian roads.
Travo.ng provides professional support to help new drivers, parents, and driving schools complete the provisional licence process quickly and accurately.
What Is a Provisional Licence?
A provisional licence is an official document issued to learner drivers in Nigeria. It authorizes you to drive under supervision while preparing for your full driver’s licence test.
With a provisional licence, you can:
- Learn to drive legally
- Attend certified driving lessons
- Practice on public roads with an instructor or qualified driver
- Prepare for your driver’s licence application
Why You Need a Provisional Licence
Applying for a provisional licence is mandatory before you can take a driving test or apply for a full driver’s licence. It ensures:
- Safe and supervised driving practice
- Compliance with FRSC regulations
- Proper documentation when stopped by road safety officials
- Smooth progression into the official licensing process
How to Apply for a Provisional Licence in Nigeria
Here is a simple breakdown of the steps involved:
Step 1: Complete the Application Form
Fill out the provisional licence form online or at an approved FRSC/State Licensing Office.
Step 2: Provide Required Documents
Typical requirements include:
- Valid means of identification (NIN slip, passport, or voter’s card)
