Thanks for bringing this info to the general public. I hope people do d needful before they get into trouble.

I have posted this link on my thread before, after having discovered some agents making fake registration for d unsuspecting clients! however, it is easy to identify a fake registration from d certificate of proof of ownership if u r conversant wt vehicle documents.


Because FRSC did not want the general public to see the full details of the registration, you will only see the name of your car and the date of registration.


The info above is questionable as I have personally approached many frsc bosses on why many vehicle does not indicate complete registration on their site, but up till this moment none has given me a concrete explanation on why that is so.

I hope they come up wt a better explanation soon or profer a way to complete the registration as many clients troop in their numbers to our office to enquire abt this.

hope this gets to FP!

If you hadn't done your POC--computer-printed ones unlike the handwritten ones in Lagos + bought a genuine insurance, third-party or any other, it would indicate that your registration is incomplete.

Insurance is a vital part of registration.
I hope you get the drift now.

Mine is correct but it says 'However vehicle registration is yet to be completed'. The second one could not be verified as the number is not new number format. My insurance policy is fake undecided

The website na rubbish. All the plate numbers I entered was just saying number approv d but vehicle registration is not complete. My papers are 100% complete and I even have comprehensive insurance on the car. They should just do something so as not to mislead people. My take#

Is your number a lagos number? Assuredly, your POC is handwritten. POCs are supposed to be computer-generated (online) after registration but Lagos BIR inexplicably leaves this out. Without this stage, your registration will automatically appear incomplete.

I hope you're guided now.

One checks out but my other vehicle says invalid/wrong number. What should I do?
Re: How To Check If Your Number Plate Is Fake by tendy08(f): 12:09pm On Mar 31, 2016
For those that got the "Wrong/invalid number" response, please ensure there's no spacing in between the numbers.eg: ABC 12 DF.

I tried at first with the numbers spaced out like the eg above and got the invalid response. I then tried the 2nd time removing the spaces(ABC12DF) and it checked save for the incomplete registration jargon.

Hope this helps.

Check your prove of ownership certificate. you will find the station of registration there. Go there and tell them to upload your vehicle's information as it could have been omitted when the vehicle was registered. Go with your allocation of registration no and prove of ownership.

It's no scam site. Autoreg is not synonymous to complete registration. Your POCs are handwritten by Lagos State officials and government. Ask yourself why didn't your POC come computer-generated like every other. As far as online verification is concerned, it doesn't recognize the written version. Either way, I think you can neglect the statement 'incomplete registration' insofar as you have the written.
Re: How To Check If Your Number Plate Is Fake by Aiykay(m): 4:39pm On Mar 31, 2016
How do one obtained the computer based POC? Must it be gotten from the state where the vehicle was registered as I was told from Phc BIR.

Lagos can be sometimes 'inconsistent' with the FG.

You should be given as part of your registration documents. Nonetheless, you can get it from any state. Where are you currently living?
