Revenue licences for motor vehicles in the southern province will be issued though internet from next year.
Chief Minister Shan Wijelal de Silva said all facilities including computers and printers were provided to the Divisional Secretariats in the Galle, Matara and Hambantota districts to implement the plan.
He said the programme was introduced in collaboration with the Sri Lanka Information Technology Institute.
The Chief Minister said the owners of motor vehicles in any Divisional Secretariat in the province would be able to obtain or renew the licences through the internet easier and quicker without wasting their time.
He said under the new scheme one could obtain his licence without calling over at the Divisional Secretariat. He said the procedure was simple and the owner of the vehicle should furnish the details through internet and make payment with the credit card.
However the old system of issuing revenue licences over the counter would continue. (D.G.Sugathapala)

This is supported by ICTA and not by Sri Lanka Information Technology Institute. Should be corrected.

Currently the online facility offered in the western province is only for selected insurance companies. So what's the point?

This is already in effect in the Western Province and is very convenient! Hopefully the entire country will be covered soon not only for revenue licenses but for other government services as well.

Good move. Hope it will spread to all other provinces. Will reduce the time spent for travelling to the revenue office.

Even now we dont have to waste time to obtain Revenue Licences in Western Province. There are "Drive Throughs" now. But we suggest to open Pradesheeya Sabas on weekends.

Why are they starting from southern province. Do they believe more internet users are in south than in western province? If they really want to test this they should have started from western province. Another south first policy. via DM Android App
