How about d new plate numbers that I heard are not transferable?

DON'T KNOW IF AM SEEING UR POST LATE.

D NECCESSARY DOCUMENTS U NEED 2 DEMAND FROM D SELLER ARE:
ALLOCATION OF REGISTRATION NO,
PROVE OF OWNERSHIP CERTIFICATE,
VEHICLE LICENCE. DES R D MOST IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS U NEED 2 BE ABLE 2 PROCESS UR CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP.

ALSO ENSURE D VEHICLE LICENSE IS UP TO DATE IE VALID 2 AVOID PAYING 4 D YRS U DIDN'T USE.

YES D NEW NO PLATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE AS D OLD OWNER IS EXPECTED 2 TAKE HIS NO PLATE AND U D NEW OWNER, AFTER HAVING GONE THROUGH D PROPER PROCESS OF CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP, SHLD DEN GET UR OWN NO PLATE WHICH WILL NOW COME WITH UR NAME ON ALL DOCUMENTS SUCH AS

ALLOCATION OF REGISTRATION NO,
PROVE OF OWNERSHIP CERTIFICATE,
CMR
VEHICLE LICENCE

what's scary about reading.... Her explanation isn't bad, u just don't like reading.

Thanks all.
Got all d stated above, I have done d change of ownership and affidavit but waiting for d vehicle registration to expire b4 changing d names while renewing. As regards d plate number I intend using it since d owner sold d car with d plates.

Firstly, I don't fink d change of ownership u've done is d proper one.
Dis is because 4 u 2 do a proper change of ownership, u must 1st obtain dis 3 documents:
affidavit for change of ownership which comes with a reciept,
Police report
And cmr (central motor registry) For coo

2ndly, for u 2 change all ur vehicle documents 2 ur name, u can't use d former owner's no plate be it old or New no plate.

If d no plate is d old one, den after d proper coo, u will have 2 do replacement of no plate and at dis point u will be asked 2 return d old no plate 2 gov b4 d now one is given 2 u and by so doing? All documents will den be given in ur own name.

If d no plate is d new one, u will have 2 return it 2 d owner as he can use it on any oda of his vehicle. Den after d proper coo, u will have 2 do what we call re-registration of already registered vehicle and dis comes with a new no plate and all vehicle documents in ur name.

But if u intend 2 continue using d former owner's no plate, what dis implies is dat u will also continue driving ur vehicle on d fomer owner's name which we really don't advice.

Reason: assuming d former owner had used dis vehicle as a collateral some where and at d point of payment cld not pay up, since dis vehicle is still in his name and dey can trace all his belongings, what do u fink will happen?

I agree with achalu on the authencity of ur new change of ownership,u need not wait for the expiration of the documents before you can change names,but go ahead and input the new names changed to reflect on the other docs,2ndly I doubt you can do change of ownership using the former owners plate nos except if the plate no is the old one,which if it is the old one,u have to change as well.
I advice u shine ur eyes and log onto the sites to check authencity of ur car documents before VI0 does the check 4 u
Quick one @Achalu
Pls I need to know,I sold my car and removed the plate nos B4 selling,can I use the plate no I removed on a 9ja used car,or can only be used on a toks?

Thanks all.

pls read d advises given carefully. u can't make a change on d name or other details on d documents until u do a proper change of ownership and plate replacement.

if u intend using d plate, den u r ready to continue using d information of d former owner on d documents.

@ bountydogs: d no plate u removed from ur sold vehicle is d new one I guess. D Niger vehicle u want 2 use it on is it having an old no plate and u want to use it 4 replacement or did u just buy d vehicle as Nigerian used and d former owner took his plate? Maybe u shld WATSAPP me through my contact on my signature for more detailed information on dis
