the USA doesn't have a national vehicle registration but you can still pull a VIN information from a database, what do we call that?

I dont think this true. The USA doesn't have a national vehicle registration yet this isnt an issue. A car thief would have to provide ownership information before registering car in snother state anyway. Lastly you would check the vin number to see if car stolen.

they're all the same. Just wait till this is achieved before applauding anyone.

GEJ started the national identity database, where is it today?

Not totally true though.

In the US, each state have a vehicle database; and one state can pull the database of the other, making it essentially a complete database of vehicle ownership in the US, which is the same as a national database.

These vehicle ownership documents can be forged to perfection in Nigeria or a database that is not limited within each state is needed.

Finally, your last statement even negate your entire argument; if there is no national database where will one check the VIN for ownership information across state boundaries?

Hello Sir

The US does have a national federal VIN and registration database, called the NMVTIS.

National Motor Vehicle Title Information System.



Websites like VINAUDIT are essentially portals to access the NMVTIS database.

We don't need a national database. The government simply needs to upgrade VIOs platform so the systems can talk to each other as against operatingin silos. They also need to do something about the corrupt officers who bypass due process and issue out fake documents.

So, what made you think that, what you have described is not a National database?

National database does not mean that, there will be a database instance in Abuja; you mentioned VIOs, which is a Federal agency and database design these days are distributed and they can be in each regional or State VIO offices or can exist in the cloud or multiple cloud virtual machines; but it is definitely not going to be a single database residing in Abuja or somewhere, that is old design that does not scale, have a single point of failure and have many bottlenecks.

I do not know if you know how DNS database works, they are distributed and are in hierarchy and operates on write once, read many principle; this can made to function like that; the whole essence of it been National is such that; each point of a read operation be it a state, local VIO office, officer or any agency to have access to records of all vehicles in the Nation.
