Nigerian drivers’ licence and international passport

In most countries of the world, citizens are required to use both their national driver’s license and the international passport for driving and travels, respectively and as means of identification.
These documents are important because some of the holder’s bio-data on them are captured and stored in a form that can be referred to in a system for anything.
The information could be used to trace an individual in the case of an accident or crime. The system bearing such data is supposed to have a link to the vehicles registered by such individual. Where Police crime records are kept and protected, it could as a link to the record of the holders conducts, movements, and crimes of any sorts.
The driving license, in particular, is therefore a very important document of national security value and importance. It is for this reason that many governments accord it importance. In such countries, any intending driver must go through and pass requisite tests, including language, sand sight tests for the safety of the driver and other road users.
The language test is very important because a driver should be able to read and understand road signs and directions. In Germany, for example, you must pass the general Dutch language test before you get a driving license as it reduces accidents and confusion on roads. In most countries, including Great Britain, from where most of our traffic laws and rules were lifted, a citizen gets one driver’s license for life at an affordable rate or fee.
In this country, for a very long time, you could get a driver’s license seated in the comfort of your house. All you needed was to give your agent your passport pictures; he goes out and in a few days return with your driver’s license.
