Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 29648, member: 2262"] Zimbabwe drivers can swap their old blue paper licenses for new plastic cards through a simple WhatsApp process. The Ministry of Transport wants everyone to meet regional driving standards with these updated cards, so they shared clear instructions for citizens ready to make the change right away. Anyone wanting the new plastic license should first save 0778112264 in their phone contacts. When you text "Hi" to this number, you start the upgrade system. The service responds with step-by-step guidance automatically. After the system marks you as "verified," you can schedule your biometric appointment at your convenience. You must visit a VID office for fingerprints and pay just $5 in American money or whatever matches that amount in ZiG currency. Your finished card arrives within 30 business days at the nearest ZimPost location. The modern cards work with scanning technology and meet all requirements from SADC, COMESA, and EAC organizations. Zimbabwean drivers can legally operate vehicles across 25 different African nations with these cards. The government stores all driver information in one electronic system connected directly to police databases. This helps catch fake licenses and makes roads safer for everyone traveling through the country. Metal licenses still work legally on Zimbabwean roads for the moment. Officials plan to announce an end date for these older versions soon. Current drivers skip taking another road test but must update their fingerprints in the system. Everyone needs a medical exam, including an eye test, every five years to stay current. This upgrade makes Zimbabwe's license system more modern and secure. Drivers find the new process much more convenient when traveling both inside and outside national borders. The digital approach puts Zimbabwe in line with international driving standards across Africa. [/QUOTE]
