Driver licensing statistics compiled from the Rwanda Statistical Yearbook 2025, LAW ENFORCEMENT sheet, Tables 14.2.4 and 14.2.5, unified on a long, tidy schema by a topic dimension. It covers driving licenses issued by sex (female, male, total) and vehicle inspections for 2023 and 2024. Rwanda issued 141,693 driving licenses in 2024, up from 119,466 in 2023, with women receiving about 13 percent of them. The series is short at two years in this edition. The license figures are read from the yearbook's Excel companion. The inspection figures are not: that file ships Table 14.2.5 with the license block's cells pasted over its own, reporting 105,588 and 123,564 vehicles as passing inspection when those are the male license counts. Published here instead are the figures the same yearbook prints in its PDF edition on page 166: 216,410 inspections carried and 216,401 passed in 2023, and 232,605 carried and 117,317 passed in 2024. The 2023 pair differs by only nine vehicles, so it may carry a transcription error of its own; both years are stored exactly as the PDF prints them. The Rwanda National Police (RNP) is the source agency.
