Transport Ministry Issues Over 25,000 Digital Licences

The Ministry of Transport reported that over 25,000 digital driving licences had been issued since the SIMS Online Portal launched in February 2022, allowing drivers from any Maldivian island to apply for licences online. Digital licence services are also available on the Police MV mobile app, so drivers can present a digital copy instead of a physical card, though physical cards can still be requested.
