Dear Nairalanders,
I went to obtain the new vehicle number plate but because I couldn't provide the original receipts and Proof of ownership of the old plates, i was asked to get an Affidavit and Police Extract.

Please I need clarification on this. Does clear photocopies of these documents not suffice? Am I being unnecessarily stressed?

I was also told to go to Abuja to renew the papers since the vehicle carries Abuja number. Is this right?Must I obtain these documents at Abuja office?

Thank you all in advance.

They r just stressin u. If u r in Ibadan, I can assist u wit gettin the abj or lagos plates. The afidavit is needed anyway irrespective of whether u av d originals or copy docs but the guys in d licencin office take care of all dat unless u r insistin on payin the prescribed fee of 15k by d senate, which no one pays. Everyone pays between 26-40k dependin on where u go, who u know and wat State licence plates u desire. The difference is their sweat money.

Ps: I dont make d rules. I just abide by them! That makes me a law abidin citizen
