The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has issued a strong caution to the public to disregard a number plate design currently circulating on social media, describing it as fake and unauthorized.
In a post on his official Facebook page, DVLA Chief Executive Officer, Julius Neequaye Kotey, dissociated the Authority from the material, stressing that it has no connection with DVLA.
“Please disregard this design. It’s not coming from DVLA. Thank you,” Mr. Kotey wrote, underscoring the need for the public to be vigilant.
He urged citizens to rely solely on DVLA’s official communication platforms for accurate updates, assuring that the Authority remains committed to “transparency and credible service delivery.”
The warning follows a broader trend of state agencies grappling with misuse of official logos and materials online, a tactic increasingly exploited by fraudsters to mislead unsuspecting citizens.
Meanwhile, it also appears that these posts were made after the DVLA boss recently announced that the authority would phase out dates on vehicle number plates from next year.
