When it comes to car ownership, there are a lot of things to bear in mind. One of those things is the document(s) you must possess in your vehicle so as not to fall a victim of policemen or other law enforcement officers.

Here are the six important documents/particulars as approved by The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) for every Nigerian driver to avoid been penalized or their car being impounded.

1. Drivers License:
You cannot move around without this license as it is the first and most significant document required by the law if you must drive on the road.

When you're in possession of this license, it means you're mentally and physically able to drive a car on Nigerian roads. To get this license, you must be at least 18 years of age as required by the law.

2. Certificate of Road Worthiness:
After the driver license, the next important particular required to drive on the road without any form of harassment or molestation is the certificate of road worthiness.

This certificate certify that your vehicle is road worthy and can be driven on the road over a period of time.

3. Proof of Ownership:
This document certify you to be the owner of the vehicle. If you bought a Nigerian used vehicle, you'll need a copy of the Change of Ownership form.

4. Vehicle License:
The vehicle lisence or registration form is a document that celarly states that your vehicle is duly registered and comply with the regulations guiding the act.

5. Insurance Certificate:
The insurance certificate provides financial cover against physical damage and/or injury resulting from collision either in traffic or on the 'go' and other liability.

You can subscribe for Third-party or Comprehensive Insurance. The latter provides financial cover while the former does not.

6. Hackney Permit:
The hackney permit is a document that's required to drive on the Nigerian roads without any form of harassment for commercial vehicles.
It is a license that primarily enable you to move people or goods on the road.
The document is renewable under the law.

A lot of people drive with or without these documents but ignorance of the law is not an excuse. To avoid any form of arrest or your vehicle been impounded, ensure your papers are complete.
