FAKE Media Release Circulating Regarding Licensing Division Operating Hours
The Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation is advising the public that a Media Release currently circulating under the heading “Revised Operating Hours of Licensing Division” is false.
In a Public Notice issued this evening (Sunday 11th January, 2026), the Ministry said the official operating hours of all Licensing Division offices throughout Trinidad and Tobago remain Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Members of the public are urged to rely solely on the Ministry’s official communication channels for accurate and verified information.
The Ministry said it “thanks the public for its co-operation and assistance in preventing the spread of misinformation.”
Meanwhile, an alarming video online shows a long line of motorists in their vehicles outside the Licensing Office in San Fernando this evening (Sunday 11th January, 2026), seemingly intending to “camp out” overnight to be amongst the first to get their transactions done when the office opens on Monday morning — as the ongoing rush for vehicle-related transactions continues.
It is unclear if this long line is related to the fake Media Release.
Regardless, the long lines — seen daily since last week — are as a result of motorists seeking to complete transfers of ownership, vehicle inspections, and other licensing matters in an effort to avoid hefty fixed penalty fines.
More on this as it becomes available.
