The Kampala Office will be closed on Saturday, December 14, 2024, resuming operations on Monday, December 16, 2024. Regional offices in Jinja, Mbale, Gulu, Arua, Fort Portal, and Mbarara will cease operations from 2:00 pm on Friday, December 13, 2024, and will also reopen on December 16.<\/p>\n<p>UDLS plays a vital role in Uganda\u2019s transportation infrastructure by issuing driver\u2019s licenses and promoting road safety. In recent years, the system has made significant strides, including the introduction of a digital platform that processes new licenses within an hour. This modernization has earned widespread praise, with the State Minister for Transport rating the service delivery at an impressive 99% efficiency.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4729\" src=\"https:\/\/mgdmedia.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-11-28-at-13.35.32_bd5834ef.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"144\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The scheduled maintenance reflects Uganda\u2019s commitment to leveraging technology to improve public services.
