Freetown, 19th October 2026- The Sierra Leone Road Safety Authority (SLRSA) has expanded its Mobile Licensing Service by increasing the number of mobile licensing stations to three, a move aimed at improving access to licensing services and speeding up the renewal of vehicle licences across the country.

In a public notice, the Authority encouraged Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to take advantage of the mobile stations to renew licences for their vehicle fleets, stressing that the service comes at no additional cost to customers.

SLRSA said official charges for vehicle and driver’s licence renewals will be clearly displayed on the doors of each mobile licensing unit to promote transparency and help the public distinguish legitimate fees from fraudulent charges.

The Authority also used the opportunity to warn motorists and other customers against paying so-called “emergency” or “facilitation” fees, emphasising that no such charges exist within its licensing operations.

“Customers are strongly advised not to pay unauthorised charges to individuals claiming to offer expedited services,” the notice stated.

To safeguard against fraud, members of the public have been urged to seek assistance only from SLRSA personnel wearing official uniforms and displaying valid identification cards at recognised offices and service locations.

According to the Authority, the expansion of mobile licensing services forms part of broader efforts to eliminate licensing fraud, strengthen accountability and ensure that all payments are made through authorised channels.

SLRSA further encouraged customers to use its digital communication platforms for enquiries, feedback and complaints. Members of the public can access information on tariffs and other services through the Authority’s automated WhatsApp platform, while official complaints can be lodged through designated customer service lines.

The Authority reaffirmed its commitment to delivering efficient, transparent and customer-focused services, urging the public to report suspected fraud and verify information through official channels, including its toll-free line, 844, available to both Africell and Orange subscribers.
