PM Says Large Order Placed for Driver’s License and Stickers

Why are drivers still waiting for license cards and stickers many months after renewal? Many drivers are asking this after going through the process of renewal and only receiving receipts as proof of their renewal.

Yesterday, one driver shared a receipt from three months ago with the note, “NO lic printing at D.o.t.” while waiting for their physical card. Another driver told News 5, “It’s very frustrating because when you have a receipt, it can get damaged or anything, and when they ask you if you lost it, then it gets frustrating. We are paying full price, so we expect to get it.”

In response to the public’s growing concern, Prime Minister John Briceño told reporters  that after meeting with Minister Ferguson and acting CEO Valentino Shal, a large order of license plates and stickers was placed. Briceño said, “CEO Shal confessed that he did not know the extent of the need that was out there. And that’s why it’s finished… We should be able to address all the needs going forward.” He also mentioned he would check with the Ministry of Finance to confirm that payment has been made for the new order.
