As a vast continent, Africa features a host of countries that give you a glimpse into some of the continent’s culture. One of them is Liberia, a country at the southern tip of the continent with coastal views.

Are you thinking about moving there with your vehicle? Then you’ll be interested in learning how to register your car there and some other bits as pieces of information.

Look below and see what you can glean from this article.

Steps To Getting Your Vehicle Registered

One of the first things you can do is contact the Liberian Ministry of Transportation. You should have a new license plate application and a list of other proper documents.

That list includes:

• Payment of customs fees
• Proof of ownership
• A bill of sale

Once the Ministry of Transportation accredits all the documents, you pay the Liberian government’s Ministry of Finance and Development Planning a registration fee. Once you have proof of that, please return it to the transportation ministry to have them verify the documents and assign you a plate number.

Getting Your Driver’s License

• This is a fairly straightforward process that requires the following steps.
• Police: You must visit the Liberia National Police Testing and Evaluation Center to get clearance.
• Paying: You visit the Ministry of Transportation to pay a fee. You can take care of this step while going through the registration process.
• Testing: The Ministry of Transportation has you sit down for an interview with an official.

Driving & Road Conditions In Liberia

Navigating The Windy Roads Of Liberia

You’ll get detours. Lots of them. That’s partly because of war damage and heavy rains in tandem with a lack of maintenance over the years.

As you come up on intersections, the U.S. State Department notes that caution should be at the top of your mind. Other vehicles aren’t maintained well, and tire blowouts are common. More importantly, they’re laden with people and make frequent stops. Meaning you should always pay attention to the road.

As far as laws go, there is little to no enforcement of the rules that do exist in the country. However, there is one law: Pull over for a government convoy if and when you do see one.

Got into an accident? Stay in the vehicle. Mob violence is a common thing when a traffic accident occurs. It is not recommended you get out of your car to talk to the other driver unless your car is wrecked.
