In Lucky Dube's voice... "Aaaand everything is money money money yeah money money money money". Sometimes that is the only language "they" understand.

7. Cash

Cash, yes cash. Because after showing the 6 stated documents. The cash may prove to be more authentic.

In addition is Custom Papers - Proof of payment of custom duty

I 've not heard about General motor receipt for the past 10 years I 've been driving. Except that car was reported stolen and there is need for you to establish the real owner At the police station.

If your car is tinted..the first paper to have is Tinted permit cos thats the first thing police will ask of u

Then your vehicle particulars

E.g Roadworthiness

Insurance (fake or original) they cant differentiate

Vehicle licence

Drivers licence

And #200 note

To bail yourself incase any of these documents is missing or not upto date.

you forgot allocation of plate number? Stupid police, they have use that nonsense to get me twice until I bribe them.

police check points between Elele and Imo state keep asking me for police clearance. and they've extorted money from me because of it.
pls what do you guys know about police clearance.
again, they once said the engine number of the car(not my car) I was driving a certain time was incorrect. I was there they stopped another car, a Benz ml jeep and extorted money from the driver over the same issue.
they said the engine. number was not supposed to start with a certain alphabet.... bla bla bla. they detained us until we parted with some cash. what do you guys know about this.

Minimum should be licence, proof of ownership and receipt, insurance and customs papers if imported. All should be genuine!
I bet you if you show custom papers without them asking, you have already complicated your matter. They will always look for some imaginary fault that you may have never heard of.

Well OP's question was about the important documents one should have. Have them but just show them only what they ask for. Under normal circumstances if you have pulled out three documents, you should be allowed to go. But around Xmas time when they all want plenty of money, they can ask for endless number of papers. Even though they have no business with all those in law. You can run into Police, VIO, Road safety & customs in certain areas. So many that most do not even know who's entitled to ask for what document.

MOT/road worthiness paper is another document they might be entitled to ask for.
