A driving permit is one of the most important forms of identification in Uganda, in addition to serving as proof that the holder is competent to operate a vehicle.
Your personal information is at risk and could be used by thieves in a variety of ways, so losing it would be very disappointing.
Uganda Driver Licensing System (UDLS) has made changes in requirements to replace a lost driving licence.
Previously, UDLS required applicants who were replacing lost licences to advertise the loss in a national newspaper. The requirement has been scrapped, as they now only need a police letter.
Other requirements include a valid national ID for Ugandan applicants.
“We also accept a duplicate/copy of the ID, a photocopy of the ID, or a NIRA verification letter if you don’t have any of the previous documents,” says UDLS.
For non-Ugandans: valid passport, valid visa — and, if applicable; work permit, dependant pass, or student pass (original copies).
For refugees: refugee card issued by the office of the prime minister (original copy).
