By Sandun A Jayasekera
The Driving Licence fee will go up from present Rs. 620 to Rs. 1,700 from today when the Motor Traffic Department introduces its high-tech smart card replacing the old driving licence.
Commissioner of Motor Traffic Department B.Wijerathna said the new driving licence will be printed according to the ISO 18013 standard and International specifications.
The new card will have a magnetic chip that carries the national ID number, picture, and thumb print, blood group of the licence holder and the expiry date of the licence digitally.
All data is printed in Optical Variables Ink and technically engraved into the smart card which is fool proof .“There were 9 bidders for our out tender invitation and two of them were selected for further consideration. The Metropolitan, a South African based firm was selected after their demonstration by the Technical Evaluation Committee. The contract which is a BOT project under the BOI is about US$ 3 million,” Mr. Wijeratna said.
The Motor Traffic Department will get Rs. 360 from every light weigh vehice license fee of Rs. 1,700. But the biggest benefit will be that the department will be able to dispose off 6 million files remain at the department, he stressed.
