How To Renew Driver License Without Capture

This method is called “capture bypass”

Using the driver’s licence portal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), applicants have the option of either bypassing capture or going for physical capture.

Bypass capture means the applicant is satisfied with his/her details and does not wish to recapture his biometrics. The applicant will, however, be required to visit the centre to collect the permanent card when it is ready.

An applicant that chooses not to bypass capture will be required to visit the Driver’s Licence Centre to recapture his/her biometrics.

Below are the steps to follow;

Step 1: Go to https://nigeriadriverslicence.org/
Step 2: Click on DL application.
Step 3: Click on Renewal of Drivers Licence
Step 4: Supply the licence number and your date of birth and it will pull up your details.
When provided with the option to either bypass capture or go for physical capture, choose bypass if you are satisfied with details on your application.
Step 5: Upon completion of the online application process, the applicant is to make payment using the payment options on the portal: Use of Visa or Master Card for online payment or Payment through the banks (Payarena, NetpostPay).
Step 6: Print Acknowledgment Slip (this will serve as your temporary licence)
Step 7: The applicant then waits until the permanent licence is printed and goes for collection.
