Pls I need some clarification. I recently bought a car from someone and the person did not remove his car number plate. Can I still use the plate by re-registering it with the FRSC using my name or I need to get a new number registration for the car? Where is the best place to do a new genuine drivers license in Nigeria as I hear some of the FRSC officials are involved in doing fake drivers license.

]What is a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?


The car's vehicle identification number (VIN) is the identifying code for a SPECIFIC automobile. The VIN serves as the car's fingerprint, as no two vehicles in operation have the same VIN. A VIN is composed of 17 characters (digits and capital letters) that act as a unique identifier for the vehicle. A VIN displays the car's unique features, specifications and manufacturer. The VIN can be used to track recalls, registrations, warranty claims, thefts and insurance coverage.]

Thanks for the wonderful information. I bought my car in year 2000 in Lagos. I can't see any "allocation of registration number" document among the vehicle documents which I renew yearly. The only related document i have is "Particulars of Motor vehicle". The person driving the car was stopped by vio because of this allocation of registration number" document. What do you advice?
