The Ministry of Transport has confirmed that all motor vehicle and driver’s license registration services will be transferred to Liberia Traffic Management Incorporated (LTMI) on February 28, even as a legal challenge over the process heads to the Supreme Court. Public debate over the control of Liberia’s vehicle registration system is expected to intensify.

A directive from President Joseph Boakai has transferred the Ministry of Transport mandate to handle driver’s licenses and vehicle registration starting March 1, 2026. Liberia Traffic Management Incorporated takes over all licensing and registration functions, leaving the Ministry with inspections only.
