Bro pls I asked u a question bout if the car bears different name pls help with the questions I have read where u said the person sud snap etc but pls is there any other options?

Good afternoon

When the name on the car papers doesn’t match the name of the person applying for the tinted permit, the Police portal will usually flag it. There are a few professional ways people resolve it:

1️⃣ Sworn Affidavit of Ownership – The current user swears an affidavit at court stating that the vehicle is legally in their possession. This affidavit + valid ID is often enough to back the application.

2️⃣ Letter of Authorization – If the original owner (the name on the papers) is reachable, they can simply write and sign a letter authorizing you to process the permit, with their ID attached.

3️⃣ Proof of Purchase / Change of Ownership – If you bought the vehicle but the papers haven’t been updated yet, you can attach the sales receipt or change of ownership documents. This usually clears doubts.

4️⃣ Company Vehicles – If it’s registered in a company’s name, then a letter on company letterhead + CAC documents will be needed.

👉 In summary: if snapping the original owner’s ID is not possible, the most straightforward alternative is affidavit of ownership + your own ID. That usually works well in practice.

Every year, thousands of unsuspecting Nigerians buy cars that later turn out to be stolen. The result? Arrests, police wahala, loss of the car, and wasted money. This guide will show you exactly how to confirm the status of any vehicle before paying a single naira.

Step 1 – Verify the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):

Locate the VIN (dashboard near the windscreen, driver’s door, or engine block).

Run it through the POSSAP Police Portal or services like EpicVIN.

If the VIN doesn’t match the car’s records → 🚨 red flag.


Step 2 – Request and Validate Proof of Ownership:

Ask the seller for Customs Papers, Police Clearance (if available), and Proof of Purchase.

Confirm names on documents match the seller’s ID.


Step 3 – Police Report Check:

Visit the nearest police station with the VIN and plate number.

Request a stolen vehicle database check.

They can confirm if it has been flagged.


Step 4 – FRSC and Insurance Database Cross-Check:

Use FRSC to check plate authenticity.

Some insurance platforms now keep central records — useful for double confirmation.


Step 5 – Street Smart Tips:

Be suspicious if the price is too good to be true.

Avoid “quick sales” with no traceable seller history.

Always transact in public, and avoid night/secret inspections.


Conclusion:
Before you sign off money for that Lexus, Toyota, or Benz, spend an extra ₦5k–₦10k to run checks. It’s cheaper than losing ₦5m and explaining yourself at a police station.

t’s unfortunate to see my name/number being dragged into this. I genuinely sympathize with anyone who has lost money to an impersonator, but let’s be clear: I have never transacted with you. Please provide proof of payment that carries my verified details, otherwise it’s unfair to mislead the public. Being cloned online is a risk that comes with visibility, but I remain committed to helping those who follow the right channel.

Osekenchi:
hello please help.

am stucked on the page about my passport photo. i have uploaded several times and yet it keep bouncing back to home page to start again. an tips on how yo overcome this page

Hello @Osekenchi,

I completely understand the frustration — the portal can be very strict and tricky at this stage. Based on what you’re describing, this is a document upload / system validation issue, and it happens to a lot of applicants. Here’s how to solve it step by step:

1️⃣ Check File Format & Size

Make sure your passport photo is JPG or PNG (no PDFs).

File must be under 2MB. Even if it seems small, compress it using an app like “Image Size” or an online tool.


2️⃣ Clear Your Cache & Refresh

Log out completely from the POSSAP portal.

Clear your browser cache and cookies (this resets any stuck session).

Restart the browser or try a different one (Chrome works best for me).


3️⃣ Re-upload Carefully

Use a different device if possible (sometimes mobile cameras are better than scans).

Make sure the background is plain and well-lit.


4️⃣ Avoid Multiple Failed Attempts

If it bounces again, stop and wait a few minutes before trying again. The system can temporarily block repeated uploads.


5️⃣ Last-Resort Option

If none of the above works, choose Physical Verification at the nearest command. It bypasses this online glitch completely.


💡 Pro Tip: Always keep a copy of your successful uploads — sometimes the system accepts one photo and still shows the error.

Following these steps fixes this 99% of the time. You’re not alone in facing this — many applicants hit this exact wall.

This guy called Israel (the OP) is a coded scàmmeér. Once you send him money to process the Tinted for you, he'll start giving you excuses, attributing the delay on the Police portal.

It is important to set the record straight. I have never collected money from you, nor has any payment been made to me or to the company I represent, Auto Secure. If you claim otherwise, you must be prepared to provide verifiable proof—receipts, verified contacts, or any evidence that ties such a transaction directly to me.

Nairaland does not allow direct sharing of contacts, and I have always respected that. If you obtained a contact elsewhere, the responsibility lies with you to confirm its authenticity. False accusations without evidence do not only damage reputations but also carry legal consequences.

I have successfully delivered services to many people here, and those clients can attest to that. I will not continue engaging in back-and-forth arguments, but understand this: if you persist in spreading false claims, you and your legal representatives will have to answer for it beyond online noise.

For clarity, I do not charge ₦30,000 for my services. Anyone is free to verify. My work speaks for itself, and the visibility of this thread—even ranking above official portals—proves the credibility of the service. Criticism is expected, but deliberate defamation will not be tolerated.

This will be my final response. Ensure that whatever claims you make are backed by evidence strong enough to stand in court.

Thanks uve contributed immensely to the growth of the thread with your relentless pursuit but I've had enough

Noted. Systems that thrive on referrals don’t really pay attention to attacks like this—success speaks for itself.

Instead of wasting energy on explanations, I’d rather channel it into delivering more value for those who truly understand the work and appreciate it.

For anyone serious about completing their Police Tinted Glass Permit smoothly, guidance and results are what matter here—not noise.

gregkuika:
Please house, what's the next step after making payment online for the tinted permit? I chose physical verification but I have not seen or received any message. Please, anyone that has done his and completed the process with his permit approved and collected, kindly guide me on how to go about mine. If I don't go for the physical verification since my job is to take me outside my location, can one do virtual verification and what's the process. Please guide me. Thank you house.

Hello, here’s how it works after you’ve made payment:

1️⃣ If you chose physical verification, the portal should send a notification with date and location. Check inbox and spam.
2️⃣ Go to the assigned location with your car and documents. They’ll verify tint and approve your permit.
3️⃣ If physical verification isn’t convenient, virtual verification is possible. Upload clear photos of your car, VIN, and documents per portal instructions.
4️⃣ If you haven’t received any message, log in to the portal to check status or contact portal support.

As long as your payment is successful and documents are correct, the permit can be completed smoothly either physically or virtually.

Nelochukwu:
Hello house. Please how can I resolve this issue. I have been trying to access the portal since last month but I have not forgotten my reset log on details via email

I have tried to reset my password as I had created one when I did my police character last year but seem to have forgotten my details. Please what can I do

Ok let's get you back in. Here’s what to do:

1️⃣ **Use the “Forgot Password” link** – go to the portal login page and click “Forgot Password”.
2️⃣ **Check your email** – make sure you check all folders: inbox, spam, promotions. The reset link is sent there.
3️⃣ **Follow the reset link quickly** – sometimes links expire after a short time.
4️⃣ **Use a new password you can remember** – note it down somewhere safe this time.
5️⃣ **Still no luck?** – contact the portal support directly. They can manually reset your login if your email isn’t working.

If you follow these steps carefully, you should be able to regain access without stress. Once you’re in, you can continue your registration smoothly, this happens to many people, so no wahala 😏.

Sometimes success just sneaks up on you when you’re not even looking.

For me, it came one night after work . I wasn’t chasing views. I wasn’t trying to make money. I just wanted to do something productive before going to bed.

The Post That Blew Up:
I had been experimenting with multiple accounts, posting about “TeamPermit.” Nothing worked. Weeks of trying. Zero results.

Then that night, exhausted from researching something else entirely, I thought:
“Let me just post something, anything.”

The account logged in by default? EasyInfoGuide. I copied content from another post, gave it a simple headline — “How to Register Your TeamPermit 2025” — added a few screenshots and a touch of bragging (my natural style), and hit post.

I went to sleep.

The Morning Surprise:
I woke up to 7,000 views. Within hours, the post was on the front page. People were commenting, asking questions, sharing experiences. The thread had taken on a life of its own.

What I realized: it wasn’t controversy, clever headlines, or luck. It was value, authenticity, and just a hint of personality. People responded to honesty and clarity more than anything else.

What Made It Work:

Value over hype: People wanted answers, not drama.

Your personality matters: Even casual bragging can give credibility if your content is solid.

Consistency pays off: I had tried posting similar things before. Nothing. Keep experimenting.

Engage your audience: Simple replies can turn curiosity into loyalty.


The Bigger Lesson:
Sometimes, the things you do without expecting results are the ones that blow up. Timing, authenticity, and a little persistence create magic.

Discussion:
Have you ever posted something casually and it suddenly blew up? What do you think made it happen? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

seunkapo:
IBADAN.
Is the e-id card physical?
I have NIN, need a physical card urgently

No it's not physical can only be viewed on the app U can't even screenshot.

If U need physical card it's best U visit the nearest Nin enrollment centre or local government even Universities offer such services

Ask questions share knowledge.
together we pass them 🤷🏽‍♂️

So let me ask:
👉 What’s the most frustrating government procedure you’ve faced in Nigeria?
👉 How did you eventually scale through—connection, luck, or just raw perseverance?

Babatundehy:
You didn't do any due diligence before proceeding to send money to someone you didn't even meet properly on the internet, Israel Raphael as a name sounds funny, I wouldn't be surprised if no one goes by that name.
You talked on WhatsApp and you didn't think to do a video call, you probably even sent money to a wallet that may not even have sufficient kyc information,.
You should be able to do this yourself, the same way these criminals take advantage of those wanting to leave the country, do you homework and go through the process yourself, just a permit and you were too lazy to go about it yourself, even this should be illegal.
You shot yourself in the leg, how unfortunate, everything you think you know about this guy is most likely a lie, shame on him too, but he certainly doesn't care about that.

For the record, this accusation is false.

I’ve never scammed anyone — those who have gotten my guides know I deliver what I promise. I don’t force anybody to buy, and I don’t take money without giving value in return.

This will be my only reply on this matter. I won’t argue or trade words. Anybody who truly wants clarity about government procedures can always verify from me directly.

Let’s focus on facts, not rumours.

Congratulations Ur biggest post so far made good number enjoy

Sometimes I think the hardest job in Nigeria is just trying to follow government procedures.

Take ordinary **NIN** or **NPC registration** — one small thing can turn into endless back-and-forth:
- Go here, come back tomorrow.
- *“Network no dey.”*
- Rules suddenly change overnight.
- Website crashes the exact moment you need it most.

Same wahala with **passports, driver’s license, voter’s card**… everything is unnecessarily complex.

And the funny part is, the average citizen only wants a simple, step-by-step process. But instead, what we get is confusion, frustration, and in the end many people just give up or pay middlemen.

Honestly, clarity shouldn’t be this hard to get in 2025.

So let me ask again, my people:
👉 Which government process stressed you the most?
👉 How did you finally survive it — patience, luck, or connection?

Sometimes I wonder if our government actually enjoys stressing us or if the system is just naturally designed to confuse the average Nigerian.

Take NIN for example:

You’ll stand under sun for hours, only to hear “network no dey.”

They’ll tell you to register online, but the website won’t open.

You finally print the slip, go back to their office, and hear “this one no valid again, go and re-enroll.”


Same story with NPC census, International Passport, Driver’s License, even Voter’s Card:

Endless steps and back-and-forth.

Zero clear instructions.

Officials acting like they’re doing you a favour.

And tomorrow, the rules can suddenly change without warning.


Meanwhile, all we’re asking for is clarity and a straightforward process.

But here’s the bitter truth:

In Nigeria, if you don’t “know someone,” you’ll either waste months or pay extra.

Information is scattered, so ordinary citizens remain confused.

That confusion is what fuels the endless middlemen and “connection” culture.


Honestly, it’s high time we had simplified guides that break all these procedures into plain language so ordinary Nigerians can follow without stress or bribes.

If you never experience barbershop gist, e mean say you dey miss one of the funniest realities of Naija street life. Last weekend, I enter my usual barbershop for small clean-up. Na there gbege nearly start because of my mouth.

As I siddon, one guy dey argue heatedly about football — say Arsenal go win league this season. Me sef no hold body, I just throw one sharp line: “Bros, Arsenal na specialist in heartbreak, abeg calm down.”

My people… the whole shop burst into laughter, but the Arsenal fan vex no be small. He turn to me with serious face: “Oga, no dey yarn anyhow oh, you sabi football pass who?”

The barber sef stop clipper for mid-fade, look mirror dey enjoy the drama. Other customers begin add pepper, shouting: “Leave am! Na true Arsenal dey always fall hand!” The tension small small dey turn to cruise, but e for easily enter wahala if person no calm am down.

At the end, the whole place turn full comedy — barber nearly cut zig-zag line because of laugh. Even the Arsenal guy later join us dey laugh after one customer remind am of last season collapse.

👉 Lesson I Learn:
Barbershop no be just haircut place. Na live comedy stage, gossip HQ and debate hall — all join. But small talk fit quickly turn to big gbas gbos if person no watch mouth. 😂

Since that day, I dey respect barbershop gist small. Anybody fit carry your matter for head like Gala.

Who else don witness serious drama or cruise for barbershop before? Share your gist make we laugh together.

It was a Friday evening. I had just finished eating suya and wanted to transfer ₦10k to a friend.
Boom! “Transaction failed. Please contact your bank.”

At first, I thought it was network wahala. I tried again. Same thing.
That’s when my chest started beating. My account was frozen.

Now, many Nigerians don’t know this:
👉 Accounts can be frozen by EFCC, FIRS, courts, banks, or even CBN directives. Sometimes it’s a BVN/AML flag, sometimes tax issues, sometimes a security watch.

Here’s the step-by-step playbook I used to fix it:

1. Don’t panic. First confirm it’s really frozen, not just network. Use ATM, POS, or mobile app.


2. Call or visit your bank immediately. They’ll tell you if it’s a post no debit (PND) order or a restriction.


3. Ask for the reason. If it’s EFCC, FIRS, or court directive, they’ll usually show you a reference number.


4. Fix the root cause.

If it’s BVN issue → update your KYC.

If it’s FIRS → settle or reconcile tax issues.

If it’s EFCC → you may need a lawyer or petition for release.

If it’s a court order → your lawyer files a motion to lift the PND.



5. Always keep records. Every affidavit, tax receipt, or letter matters. Banks don’t move until paperwork is complete.



💡 Insider truth: Sometimes banks delay even after the order is lifted. Always follow up daily till you’re back in control.

👉 Thousands of Nigerians are facing this in 2025, and most don’t know the way out. Some accounts stay locked for months just because the owner didn’t push the right button.

milanseedorf:
Thanks. I have done the payment and selected physical verification. Is it them that will notify me when to come for the verification or i should just go to any police office in my state to do it

Hello @milanseedorf,

Good move. Since you’ve already paid and chosen **Physical Verification**, you now have to wait for the official invite.

✔️ The system will notify you (via SMS or email) of your appointment date and which **State Command** to report to.
✔️ Do not just walk into any random police station — it has to be the designated Command handling tinted permits, otherwise they’ll bounce you.
✔️ Keep checking your portal status + your email (spam/junk too). The invite usually comes within a few working days, but sometimes it takes longer depending on backlog.

If after 2–3 weeks you don’t hear anything, that’s when you can escalate with your application ID at the selected Command.

For now, just hold tight. You’re in the queue, and your payment is secure.

The Nigeria Police has set **October 2, 2025** as the deadline for permit registration.

Rarelyseenkay:
Okay thank you , I did for my dad too already and when it got to the virtual verification after we completed the capturing , it said something went wrong . Does he have to redo it or leave it cause it is still pending . Ps I did it on Tuesday and the status is pending till now . How long does it take for them to verify .

Hello @Rarelyseenkay,

This is an excellent follow-up question. The "Something Went Wrong" error during virtual verification is extremely common, but the word **"Pending"** is the most important clue here.

1. **"Something Went Wrong" Error:** This usually happens because of poor lighting or a slight movement. However, if the system allows you to proceed and the status changes to "Pending," it often means the capture was **partially successful** and is now waiting for a human officer to manually review it.

2. **"Pending" Status is Normal:** "Pending" means your application is in the queue. You have completed the user-facing part. You do not need to redo the capture at this stage. Redoing it might create a duplicate application and cause more confusion.

3. **How Long It Takes:** Verification can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, especially now with the deadline rush causing a backlog. The key is to be patient.

**Your Action Plan:**
* Do **NOT** redo the application.
* Wait patiently for at least 7–10 working days.
* Check the portal daily for a status change to "Approved for Capture" or an invitation for physical verification.

You are in the waiting phase, which is the hardest part. But you've done the right thing so far.

Ikechy08:
Please I need help, I'm currently on the page to input details, and upload documents. My passport is not uploading same as place where you will upload front and back of the vehicle. But I can upload for place that requires car particulars. All pictures are below 2mb

Hello @Ikechy08,

This is a classic portal issue, and you're not alone in facing it. Even if your pictures are under 2MB, the portal is also very sensitive to the **file format**.

The user `georgee` is correct. You need to ensure every single file is a **JPG or JPEG**. Sometimes, phone cameras save in a different format like HEIC or PNG, which the portal can reject.

**Here is the EAZYINFOGUIDE™ checklist to solve this permanently:**
1. **Convert All Files:** Use a free online tool or a phone app to convert every single one of your documents (passport photo, front/back of vehicle, etc.) to JPG format.
2. **Check File Names:** Make sure the file names are simple, with no special characters (e.g., "my-passport_photo(1).jpg". Rename them to something simple like "passport.jpg" or "carfront.jpg".
3. **Final Check on Size:** After converting, double-check that they are still under 2MB.

I've covered this exact solution in detail in my "Golden Post" on Page 1 of this thread. Following those steps will get your documents uploaded successfully.

milanseedorf:
The vin of this vehicle i want to register is 10 digit, i added zeros at the back to make it up to 17 so it can take me to the verification page but it says i should go for physical verification. Please is there a solution to this. Am trying to call the customer care number but it just keeps ringing and no one picks. The car is a corolla altis asia spec. ZE1-5055666. This is how the vin is displayed

.

Hello @milanseedorf,

You have run into a problem specific to older vehicles or certain foreign models (like the Asia-spec Corolla) that don't use the standard 17-digit VIN.

Your thinking was smart—padding the VIN with zeros is the correct way to get past the initial form validation. However, the system's database automatically flags any VIN that isn't in the standard 17-digit format for **mandatory physical verification.**

**There is no online solution to bypass this.** This is a security measure.

**Here is your path forward:**
1. The "Go for physical verification" message is now your official instruction. You have done everything you can online.
2. Proceed with the application. Pay the permit fees online via Remita.
3. After payment, wait for an SMS or email inviting you to the State Police Command you selected.
4. When you go, make sure you bring all your original vehicle documents, as they will need to manually inspect the car and the chassis number to confirm its identity.

This is not an error on your part; it's just the required process for your specific type of vehicle. You are on the right track.
