chukel: Go with the seller to road safety and police for verification and also make sure that the number of previous owner is active so that you can confirm that the seller is the rightful onwer.. In abroad here i live , before you sell or transfer owner ship , you must be present and use your thumb-print or facing recognition to sign off as past owner and to sign the buyer as a present owner.But Nigeria still have long way to go in this things where no citizens have a valid identification. which makes the government to run easily and effective . |

chukel: If the car is a Tokunbo, the seller should present you with a Bill of lading, Customs assessment & payments etc. But if it is a used vehicle, the seller should present you with Certificate of Ownership (Original), Plate number allocation paper, Police Clearance before registration (ECMR) and vehicle particulars. Anything outside these items, know the vehicle is stolen. All documents presented before sales must be originals and not photocopies. Must criminals sells stolen cars/vehicle very cheap and buyers falls for this trick! 2 Likes |

bolaray5050: Your analogy is incomplete. The essence of involving the FRSC is not just to confirm if the vehicle has been registered in Nigeria. Of course it should have been registered in Nigeria it is a used vehicle except you're talking of tokunbo. |

MY suggestion and I believe it's a lot safer... Concentrate more on the vehicle registration number, especially the modern one. Copy it and take it to FRSC office Ask them to run a check on the number...It will bring out the full details of the vehicle and the owner with his/he phone number Call the owner and confirm... This does not apply to vehicles with old plate number. On that one, you are on your own o ******@@@@@***** When I wanted to get the new tint permit for my SUV, I decided to renew my papers as well and to get the 'authentic' car insurance for the vehicle. I went to a friend who is a FRSC officer to help me renew the papers. He called me few hours later to tell me that the plate number of my vehicle of over 2yrs had been assigned to a different vehicle. In fact, he printed out the details and gave me. It had been assigned to another vehicle 3yrs earlier, SUV but Nissan product while mine Is Toyota. I was confused and decided to call the man whose vehicle has same number as my vehicle and he confirmed it. He was surprised and could not believe what I was telling him on phone. That was how I was saved from the police wahala that could have come up if I had taking my vehicle to them for tint without finding out. I know of people who took their vehicles to the police for Tint and ended up paying to save themselves for 'stolen vehicle'. The fRSC and police have access to the full details of the modern vehicle registration number on their database. An individual can only get limited detail. |

darlingnuel: Yes I met him. When I said the 'same' police, I meant it allegorically, in the sense of 'members of the same police force' not in the sense that the individual policemen were the same, they weren't. I never thought that the police could have scammed me. If so, why wait for 3 years to do so? They would have done so immediatrly, or maybe a week later. Anyway, come on. They are policemen. Policemen don't scam. |

If nothing guys the seller ought to provide all customs clearance papers and shipping papers.... For tokunbo vehicles For Nigerian used ..u can scan the plate number with FRSC and get the details of the car and owener if it matches the documents u were given..if not do contact the original owner from FRSC and confirm before you buy . |

Another measure is to ensure that after confirming that the vehicle document is valid, I make sure that the account name I am making payment to is the name on the car document. works at times though not always. if not i expect that you should show me evidence of links between the account I am paying to and the name on the car documents. |

Ask for the proof of ownership certificate, call the number on it to ask the owner if the car is stolen. Or if u are still not convinced, take a photocopy of proof of ownership to licencing office to verify it and call the person who registered it last to confirm if its a stolen vehicle. 1 Like |

No two vehicles have the same VIN or Chasis no. A vehicle registered correctly with a VIN no cannot be re-registered with the same VIN no. The FRSC portal will indicate it's been used before.what if a dealer buy from Owner to resell? I believe dealer will be wise enough to ask for all that before purchase. So the name on the document will be of the previous owner and also the dealer provide the drivers license. How would you na buy without a driver's license? |
