Guyana to get digital driver’s license renewal portal 

President Dr. Irfaan Ali revealed on Saturday that his government hopes to soon implement a new driver’s license renewal system.

The new system, President Ali said, will be a digital one that joins other new digital systems from automated airport processes to payment ventures.

“We are now working to be among the first 10% of countries to have digital license renewal portals.

“(The portals are) like kiosks (or) ATM machines. We will have it across the country, and you just scan your license, and you just use your debit or credit card, and you renew your license right there in a mall or a Police station,” President Ali said at an event held at Leonora, West Coast Demerara.

Such a system is meant to help make key services more efficient while removing any human biases or lapses, the President explained.

He also noted that the government wants to introduce more digital services and is doing so through various digital tools and equipment. Already, a Digital School is being developed and airport processes are getting digitalized.

Soon, Dr. Ali noted too, a digital wallet or payment platform will be introduced.
