The Lagos Sector Commander of the FRSC, Mr. Chidi Nkwonta, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that three states in the U.S and seven countries in Europe accept the licence.
According to him, the licence is recognised in Maryland, Washington DC and California in the U.S as well as Germany, Turkey, Switzerland, Poland, Spain, Austria and Sweden in Europe.
“Maryland accepts Nigerian driver’s licence provided it verifies that it is genuine, Washington accepts Nigerian driver’s licence, and California too.
“We have seven countries already in Europe that accept our driver’s licence, and we are working on other countries in Europe, “ Nkwonta said.
The commander added that the FRSC was working hard to make sure that the Nigerian driver’s licence is accepted in all states in the U.S.
He said the data base and identity of the holder of the licence could be accessed in those countries, and that genuineness of the licence could be ascertained.
Nkwonta said the licence contained several security features that would make it difficult to produce fake copies.
