The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has launched new mobile applications to simplify driver’s license renewal and vehicle verification.

Spokesman of the FRSC, Assistant Corps Marshal Olusegun Ogungbemide, said the mobile application, named “FRSC Mobile App”, was designed to transform how motorists engage with road safety services.

He said, “The Mobile Application is not just a convenience tool, it is a strategic intervention to enhance national safety consciousness and reduce preventable road traffic crashes.

According to him, in a nation where the loss of lives on highways remains a grave concern, this innovation brings solutions right to the palm of every Nigerian.

“It is no longer acceptable to be uninformed when the tools for protection and compliance are within reach,” he said.

The FRSC spokesman noted that the initiative’s success hinges on the public’s willingness to embrace it, as it is not just an app, but a life-saving tool.

He said, “It is more than just a technological upgrade; a strategic response to the growing need for real-time access to FRSC products and services, and timely traffic intelligence.

“With a few taps on a smartphone, road users across Nigeria can now enjoy end-to-end access to FRSC services, right from the comfort of their homes, vehicles, or offices.”He noted that the App was available for download on the Google Play Store, adding that it is a one-stop hub that offers real-time access to critical safety tools, FRSC services, and vital road use information.

Ogungbemide emphasised that the all-in-one mobile application was designed with road users in mind, offering convenience, efficiency, and life-saving tools in a single platform.

He explained that the app enables applicants to easily renew their driver’s license, eliminating unnecessary delays and reducing human contact, adding that users can verify the status of driver’s licenses and vehicle number plates to ensure their authenticity.

“Additionally, the App also gives Real-Time Safety Alerts by notifying users of speed limit violations, helping them stay within safe driving thresholds while promoting responsible behaviours on the road. It also helps to detect Black Spots on the highways. With its seamless access to a mapped database of crash-prone areas, users can avoid dangerous routes and plan safer journeys,” he said.

“Most importantly, the App also avails you the opportunity to live National Traffic Radio Streaming on 107.1 FM, and get real-time updates on traffic conditions, safety campaigns, and emergency advisories.”

The Corps spokesman urged motorists, commuters, logistics operators, fleet managers, and the general public to download and use the free app without delay. (THE NATION)
