You don't need a tinted permit for factory fitted glasses. Just Google it, it's on the major papers where IG gave the order..print out the IG page and attach same to your documents. Thank me later

You can't get a tinted permit for now until the suspension has been lifted, you can alternatively get a medical report for factory fitted tint and you're good to go. Don't get a backdated one na.... tongue
I had to even remove my own ,cox they were requesting for medical report. I don't like stress

Hello,

I bought an Suv in July 2021 with Factory tinted glasses and as at time of purchase no tinted permit is allowed.. I travelled with it last week to Edo state and I got to so many checking points which they asked and I asked back if they check the date on the papers which they said yes and I responded that they should be aware that no tinted permit is available as at this time till now...

I was offered before travelling to get the backdated one but for me it's forgery and thank God I did not because someone was arrested for the forgery at one of the checking points. The policeman just told him instead he should have told them it's not applicable to his car since its newly purchased.. both my going and coming back to lagos, I didn't pay a dime nor was I harassed because of it.

Any police officer that tries to harass you will do so if they notice your ignorance and fear..

Hi guys, Got a car coming in and there is no model of that car that does not have factory tinted windows. I read somewhere that Nigerian police have suspended issuing tinted permits, so people that still get theirs have to backdate it, please how true is this and does it work?

Also, it would be nice if people that have tinted cars share their experience so far with the police. Thanks in advance.

There's nothing money cannot get for you in Nigeria, they still do it illegally..
Re: About Tinted Permits And Police Harrasment by akdjr(m): 7:07pm On Oct 04, 2021
If your tinted glass is factory made, you have no problem with police and you also don't need a permit. But if you tint it yourself with nylon, police will surely arrest you and possibly take u to their station or collect bribe from you to allow u go and also direct you to take it off cos next time another set of police or that same ones will also arrest u again .

Re: About Tinted Permits And Police Harrasment by davit: 7:14pm On Oct 04, 2021
Exactly. Only Naija tints are the target of NPF. But some over zealous officers too can try to harass you. Just stand your ground. No tint permit for factory tint again. Just drive your car without fear.

Thanks. I just learnt factory-fitted tints are exempted from permits because you can still see through those. Police target are those after market ones that are completely dark and you cant see anything inside.

Ok, If i understand you correctly are you saying police will accept a medical report if you do not have a tinted permit?
Also, if its not possible to get tinted permits anymore, then what is the fate of owners of factory-fitted tint?

Factory fitted are safe.. with or without tint permit. Any suv, estate vehicles, Cuv normally come with tint glasses from backdoor to the hind windscreen. Dont be ignorantly held by police or any uniform men.

Couldn't get a permit for my car tint, even though it was factory fitted, my colleagues at work showed me how to remove it easily. I did and I have avoided harassment since.

Find a way to remove it, else you will have to stop at every police checkpoint and waste time explaining to unreasonable folks.

If your car has a factory tinted glass you dont need a permit. The IG is clear on that

I wouldn't totally say all policemen cos some of them are stark illiterate but as far as I know they don't disturb you when you have a medical and the fact that most of them are aware of the suspension and the exclusive privilege given to factory fitted tint vehicles, they might have issue with the non factory fitted tint. At least with several people I did registration for their factory fitted vehicle since the ban there's no complain cos I procure the medical report for them. The fate of factory-fitted vehicle owner is just to be patient till when they lift the suspension of issuance of new permits, however the IG has already issued a statement after the ban that factory fitted tint vehicles are permitted.[i/]


[i]If you tell those policemen, they would argue
with you A guy once told me that showing them the news page where IG made that statement would work, haven't tried it though.

Guys,

My car is not factory tinted. I had got a tinted permit and medical in February/March 2021.

The only checkpoint that worry is a entrance to Warri by some hungry police men who say IG would arrest anyone. I explained I got it before IG announcement but had to give them change. I was so pissed and ready to stand my ground.

Please can someone clearly show me the IG statement or a brief summary of this tinted communication?

Thanks

That's not true, you and I know the policing in this country, anything tinted, wether factory or not, they would so deal with you. I had artificial tint on the front windows and factory tint on rear windows, even with my legit tinted permit they milked me 15k, I had to peel the artificial off in their presence after paying.
