The Army do not check vehicle papers except you are a suspect, then, they may want to ascertain if you are the legitimate owner of the vehicle. Another reason they would check vehicle papers is if they have been radioed about a lost vehicle headed towards their duty post.

Police have the statutory obligation to uncover stolen cars so they can check the genuineness of your particulars. FRSC rarely do except in certain circumstances. VIO, it is their primary duty to ensure every vehicle on the road has the right documents.

Customs are particularly concerned about duty payment and may not ask for registration papers. Mopol are police officers of a different department.

LASTMA and NURTW has no business asking motorists for papers except in cases where a drivers has committed serious offence or crime as the case may be, then they may request it as way to ensure the driver does not run away.

The last one "YES - O" I have no idea what that is.
