Short description of the case:

The On-Line Renewal of Licences is a web application which allows Maltese citizens to renew their vehicle road licences on-line, to pay any outstanding contraventions, to upgrade the road licence to entrance to the capital city and to check their next Vehicle Roadworthiness Test (VRT) from any place with an Internet connection. Furthermore, the web application is integrated with the Local Enforcement System, which allows traffic wardens located in any street in Malta to register and manage traffic contraventions of various kinds. The system has meant that citizens can renew their licence from home. It has also meant a huge transformation in the way resources are deployed and work is organized in a key Government Department

Main feature of the case:

- Committed leadership in translating vision into action
