These are the new Uganda driving permit prices for 2021 for a new driver’s licence, renewal of expired/lapsed permit, extension to another class, foreign drivers license exchange, and duplicate (lost license). The new driving licence charges came into effect when Uganda driver licensing system took over from the defunct Face Technologies.
The fees shown below are paid strictly at the bank, and vary depending on the type of driving license one is processing. Payments are made to a URA bank account in any of the URA-supported banks of choice depending on the type of licence which is being processed.
In order to make any payment to the bank, you first of all need to generate a payment registration number which you take to the bank of choice and make the payment, and it begins by visiting the URA web portal and registering a Payment PRN.

Am called Mariam, for how long does it take for one to get processed a new driving license and except Kampala is there any other place one can acquire the driving licence. Thanks.
The longer it takes to process and obtain a drivers licence in Uganda varies depending on how you handle the task. Officially, it takes the applicant up to 30 days or 1 full month to qualify for the test once the provisional license is issued. And when you acquire the learners to when you do the test varies from person to person. On the other hand, Uganda Driver Licencing System offices in Jinja, Mbale, Arua, Gulu, Mbarara, Fort Portal and Kampala. Thanks for the comment.
What about those who possess driving skills by their own ways, do they also still need to go back to driving schools?
Well said, your own driving skills. In simple terms, you still need to obtain a certificate of completion of the driving training and which is obtained from an approved driving school. If you can tell them to simply issue you one without training, that is good to try.
hi, i need to drop one of my names on my driving permit coz that does not appear on both national identity card and passport. what do i do?
Perform a renew and provide your national ID,the name you don’t want will automatically be dropped. Kindly note that these days of UDLS, names are automatically matched with what NIRA has in their database.
I’m Kibalama Julius Isaac, I applied and payed for the driving permit during the tenure of face technology but the problem have face some one took my ura receipts and left me with the learners’ permit which expired in february 2021 what can I do, please reply with [email protected]
Visit the UDLS offices on nasser road and present that permit. In case you paid all associated fees, they will issue your license. But in case you had not fully paid, then you will need to pay production fees. Hope that helps.
