This can defeat the essence of the project,\u201d Nkwonta said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 6px  0px;\">The commander said that age was pertinent to the new driver\u2019s licence project, so as to prevent underage and old people from driving.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 6px  0px;\">\u201cOf course, there are issues relating to age qualification for driving: you must be up to a certain age before you can drive, it is 18 years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 6px  0px;\">\u201cNow, it is not sufficient for you to tell us verbally that you are 18 years old, we need to see the birth certificate to authenticate the age you are claiming.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 6px  0px;\">\u201cAlso, there is a terminal age for driving\u2013 which is 70. But we see aged people of 75 or 80 coming for drivers\u2019 licence; we need the birth certificate for entering into driving and to terminate the exercise,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 6px  0px;\">On age falsification, Nkwonta said: \u201cWe take for granted that the applicant is swearing to an oath and if it is falsified, it is a chargeable offence of perjury.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 6px  0px;\">NAN reports that the command has made it compulsory for each applicant of the new national drivers\u2019 licence to present his birth certificate before processing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 6px  0px;\">Punch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal Road Safety Corps said on Thursday that age falsification had created the need for birth certificates to be part of requirements for the issuance of the new national&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25726,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
