Seller can't find it or they don't have. Last year here.
Take details from the "allocation of number plate" document. (without customs, they won't allocate number)

Take the details from there. Go to Asycuda (the department for payment portal at customs). Go and verify the details, they will print out a summary 2 page of the transaction with stamp.. If it exists.
Should cost you like 3-5k. Go yourself, don't delegate it.

There's no custom officer on the road that argues with verification from Asycuda.

The person couldn't find it,He had it before but just misplaced it,thanks for the info on Asycuda,i will check them out

You don't really need the cutom papers. Nobody will ask for custom papers for a 16 year old car except the custom officer just wants to be wicked.

Although, normally u need it to do change of ownership but u can still achieve that without the custom papers.

The only challenge I see is the fact that you will be traveling interstate regularly and probably with a new plate number. You will definitely be stopped by customs if u encounter them in d first six months of doing that new number.

So either u avoid traveling out of Lagos or u leave the car. If u must buy it be sure he is d owner and negotiate d price downwards because of the missing custom papers. Plus he must leave the plates for you should you decide not to do change if ownership.

Thanks for your input

Hi Guys,please i need your opinion on an issue.

There is this Corolla 06 bought and registered in 2021. It is still clean and i wish to buy it for Uber Business and interstate travels but the seller couldn't find the customs paper. Please guys,what do you advise,can i go ahead to buy it,base on your experiences,do u think I will have issues on the road with Law Enforcement Agents for a 2006 car or is there anyway around it?

I need your advise please,thanks and i will be reading the comments.
