What Are The Basic Documents (papers) A Car Should Has? by Officer101(m): 3:47am On Apr 21, 2018
I want to know the basic documents and permit a private car should has and the issuing authority.

Most especially those things police will ask for at check point, because times without number we will be approaching a check point, and the driver/owner will be very confident about his papers, only to get to the police and started spotting out what is lacking in the papers.

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.

The best paper for Nigerian vehicles is cash. That is actually the paper that Nigerian police are looking at not vehicle particulars.

My brother, sometimes it's just more than the papers. You'll need to present;
caution sign
fire extinguisher
good sit belt,
turn on and off your wiper
Turn on the automatic water that wets the windscreen for the wiper
on your headlight n brake light
On your car horn (if you dey use trailer on for your Camry) na d Dem go use you shine
your tyres have to be uptodate

some will even ask you for spare tyre and your jacks.
check your side mirror if it's broken or not.

The above mention must be intact AFTER presenting your

Drivers license
Certification of ownership (change of ownership if it wasn't Tam Tam)
Road worthiness
Tint permit(if your car is tinted)
Insurance etc etc
But if all these are intact check your Number Plate, sheabi d say we should update it.... Have you?

This was how road safety Marshalls used me to shine inside FCT

simple, when VIO and police arrest you like 10times, and you pay fine all through, that's how every Nigerian understand every piece of papers required, even if you ask VIO this questions, they won't tell you details because they are interested in your fine
