1. custom documents fully stamped and check whether all things correspond like name and model of car, VIN and all payments were made. Mostly like 6 or more papers could be photocopy if multiple cars were cleared by one dealer but make sure it is a clear crisp document not faded crap and don't take the nobody will ask you for customer paper crap, it could spell doom or stolen vehicle.

2. CMR (computerized motor registration) original copy

3. Current insurance (original copy)

4. Vehicle licence (original copy)

5. Road worthiness certificate (original copy)

6. Plate number allocation (original copy)

7. Original proof of ownership fully stamped

8. You will collect two printed and signed documents
a. Change of ownership document
b. Receipt of purchase from previous owner

There are some other documents you may need like
1. Tinted permit doc
2. police report/doc of change of ownership/plate number/engine number (which we call vin)

make sure you see the change of ownership letter given to the buyer duly signed when he first bought it as Nigerian used except the car was bought as tokunbo then you may not need this.

Once the car doesn't have custom doc except it's a beetle and the documents have expired years ago, I suggest you stay away from such ride.

Please dont forget to have Police clearance on proof of ownership.

Emixofficial:
Nice


VIN is vehicle identification number, it is also known as chasis number on documents. for cars, it is imprinted at the right hand side below the windscreen check pix for location

i am guessing you mean vin report, cause nobody sells/gets/find/buy/provide VIN, only the manufacturer. there are threads here that provide free vin report or paid for quick report

Do not be mislead, here are the proper documents to collect when buying a used car in Nigeria.

nurey:


Yes you do, but since it was bought brand new in Nigeria, you won't get a custom document, you did rather get a certificate from the dealer it was bought from (elizade, lanre shittu motors etc)

fk001:


Nurey I had that Corrolla South African model doesn't come with custom duty when bought brand new by bank.

It only has receipt how true is it

nurey:


Yes receipt or certificate from dealership stating so

fk001:


So if I want to do my car change of ownership, I will go with the receipt/certificate instead of duty right?

Also I base in Abuja, I bought the car from a friend that wants to relocate to US, the car was first bought by bank to his uncle, then his uncle hand over to him.


The issue is the car has Lagos plate number and I am in Abuja, VIO here in Abj said that to do change of ownership and retain plate his data that is in lagos need to be erased that means the change of ownership is not possible here in Abuja only lagos can do it.


Or I should just forget the data that is in lagos and do Abuja plate registration.


Pls I need your insight

Thanks

nurey:


Speak with pattybf she is knowledgeable in registration I dont know how those registration stuff works besides you dont need custom docs or exercise certificate to register a vehicle

fk001:

You are in a comfortable zone considering age of vehicle, octane rating of oil fuel and the very bad environment we thrive in. Your vehicle is okAY

Top of the day Nurey,

Should I boldly demand for all the listed documents as I want to purchase a 9ja used camry05.

Or are there new updates as to documents to demand in this year 2021 (considering the fact that you dropped this comment in 2015)

Awaiting yours.

God bless you for this wonderful piece Nurey.
You will collect two printed and signed documents
a. Change of ownership document
b. Receipt of purchase from previous owner

Please as a private seller, how do I get the bolded documents above when selling to potential buyer. I can’t just hand over the ones I received from the seller to the new buyer, cos that was an agreement between the previous owner and me. So to sell the vehicle to a new buyer, do I just type and print the declaration of change of ownership and receipt for the new buyer?

Also the names were never changed on the other documents (customs, police report, change of engine number etc) so it still bears the names of the person that I bought from. Would I need to change these to my name before I can sell the vehicle or do I just hand over those documents I received to the new buyer?

nurey:


For the first question, you do yours from scratch, you can copy the format of the previous owner doc he used for you. Just go to a cyber cafe and it would be done for you.

For the name of document in previous owners name, no issue about that, just tell the new buyer you didn't change name when you bought the vehicle. Hence the change of ownership and rest of doc would be in the name of previous owner not yours. The intending buyer

1. would have to just do due diligence by checking the name on the document and ensure they all correspond and are original

2. Snap seller and offcourse get a valid means of identifying the seller by getting his drivers license, voters card etc incase of future reference

Fantachapman:


Thanks a lot sir. I have sold the car.
But now I have a new question.

I am getting reminders about the expiration of the road worthiness of the already sold vehicle coming soon. Please how can I stop receiving these alerts?

Hello,

I bought a Nigerian used Camry and did my vehicle papers through an agent. He gave me the ff documents.

Allocation of Number plate
Vehicle Licence
CMR
Insurance
Proof of Ownership Certificate
Change of ownership
Road Worthiness cert(without referral letter and I didn't go inspection)

I verified the insurance and its legit
I scanned the new plate number on Autoreg and it brought out the validity of my vehicle licence but when i checked the number plates on frsc website it pops up VALID BUT YET TO BE ASSIGNED. Normally the frsc website should bring out the car make and colour and that's my concern at the moment. The agent claimed that its a Lagos plate number and frsc is a federal character, that it takes time for it to be updated on frsc website.
Also, the road worthiness certificate he gave me did not come with referal note. I understand that the referal note is issued and that's what u should go with to the inspection centre. I was not chanced at the moment so I told him I wont be coming for inspection and he was still able to get me the certificate of road worthiness. I want to know if my road worthiness certificate is valid as I did not go for inspection and if vio officers or police or frsc officers on the road would be able to know that I did not go for inspection despite having the certificate with me. Do I have to present vehicle inspection report or the referal note alongside the certificate or does the certificate covers it all? I have only the certificate.
I plan on travelling to the east soon with the vehicle and don't want any issue on the road.
