The Sierra Leone Road Safety Authority (SLRSA) has announced a new tariff structure for five-year driver’s licenses, set to take effect on Monday, September 2, 2024.
According to SLRSA the decision to increase the tariffs comes as part of SLRSA’s ongoing commitment to maintaining road safety and delivering quality services amid rising operational costs driven by global inflation.

The adjustment is seen as a necessary step to ensure the sustainability of SLRSA’s operations and the continued provision of high-quality road transport services in Sierra Leone.

Motorbike Riders License (LA): Le 560
Tricycle License (A): Le 560
Motorbikes and Tricycle (AA+): Le 560
Cars, Jeeps, Vans (B): Le 1,100

Ooh salon
Living in Sierra Leone is a complete heart disease, you feel uncureable pain.
Your voice is not heard, government do what they like.
Everything is getting expensive every now and then.
Yeah the global inflation in Sierra Leone have no relevance to Monthly employees income.. When Govt wants more money from the people they just increase prices on essential needs but yet no increment in Salary.. And yet they say they want to tackle corruption .. No Street light. No damn traffic light .. So much bad roads in residential areas .. Traffic Police and Traffic Wardens are always packed in the street like bees seeking whom they’d sting ..
You guys are shameless with no morals, but I guess you know best that 95% of Sierra Leoneans are hypocrites and mediocre’s who’d pay any sum amount for and document they require..
I hope SLRSA will start buying the correct Zebra crossing reflective spray with those of the Yellow side lines… Because all your paints in the streets are terribly cheap and not of any international standard .. And please pave your branch in PWD Pademba road it’s damn to embarrassing ..
Who is to blame?
For us that have already snaped since may, when are we going to get our licenses?
Because they keep telling us that there’s is no enough material to print out the license.
But there’s no enough material but you take payment and allowed us to snaped.
Only this what they are capable of, all the roads has been damaged by the rains and floods, instead of being maintenance they forgot to do their job properly to insure all roads are safe for everyone.
If you can set up a system for online application it will save us from the stress of unnecessary delay
Silence is the best way to treat a fool
I rest my Case
It is not that bad to increase prices but it should be done the correct and authentic ways.why the driver’s license has two different prices for God’s sake😭😭😭 the government price and the private emergency price. I asked for ABC, they said 2250000, AB they said 1800000 and i finally asked for A they said 1000000. Where is Sierra Leone going to. Why are we having two prices, what are the journalist lawyers bloggers doing. 😭😭 Why there are less God fearing people in this country 🇸🇱
