Vehicle and driver license registration is one of the many commodities that contribute significantly to the revenue generation capabilities of Ghana. However according to the investigation carried out for this research, 86.3 percent of respondents attest to the existence of fake vehicle and driver licenses. Thus, the government of Ghana loses a lot when it comes to generating revenue from Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority. This research found out a yearly revenue generation capacity from the Tamale office of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority of about GHS1, 440,000 from only vehicle registration, amidst this massive evasion by drivers and vehicle owners. This research unearthed the major factors motivating the menace of non-licensing of vehicles and drivers; it as well exposed the methods by which vehicles are being stolen from their owners, pointing out reasons for vehicle owners’ reluctance to report for the recovery of these stolen vehicles. The technology employed for license verification by the security services was not left out.
