Can non factory tinted cars apply?
Is it legal?

Thanks, guys — glad the post is helping.

Just to clarify based on the questions I’ve seen:

✅ The permit is tied to the specific car, not your name.
✅ Factory-tinted or not, the fee is the same.
✅ Biometrics is usually required — but not everyone wants to go to Alagbon, especially if the car is not in their name.
✅ And yes, if you have 5 cars, you go through the process 5 times. 😂

If you’re stuck or want a shortcut through the maze — I dey here, just send a message.
Some people just need clarification, some need full help — we dey sort both.[/quote]

Quick Recap: Frequently Asked Questions About Tinted Glass Permit Registration in 2025

I’ve noticed a few repeating questions on this thread. Hope this helps someone new:

Q1: Do I need a permit if my car has factory-tinted glass?
✅ Yes. Factory or film tint — the Police still require a permit.

Q2: My portal is stuck after payment or says “pending.” What do I do?
🔁 Wait 24–72 hours. Then retry login. If issue persists, clear browser cache or use another browser/device.

Q3: Where can I do capturing in Lagos?
📍 Try Ikeja SIB, Alagbon, or some Area Commands. Onikan is not always active lately.

Q4: I’m using my late dad/brother’s car. Can I still apply?
☑️ Yes, but you may need a workaround. Scroll below 👇 for a detailed answer.

Q5: Can I pay someone to handle the full process?
🧾 Yes — some people offer legit services. But if you want to do it yourself, I compiled an easy-to-follow guide (PDF).

You can DM or quote me for help. I’ll keep updating this post with anything new I find.
Bro

My payment is confirmed, what's the next thing to do, am I waiting to get message to go for capturing?

Bro

My payment is confirmed, what's the next thing to do, am I waiting to get message to go for capturing?
Yes bro, once payment has been confirmed and your documents are in order, the next stage is usually waiting for biometric capture (photo + fingerprint).

From what I’ve seen, it can take anywhere between 1 to 3 working days for the system to trigger the SMS or email for capture — especially if you're applying directly through the portal.

But here’s the thing: even when it's still showing “Pending,” you can print out your application slip or save a screenshot — that’s what I advise anyone driving a tinted car to carry with them for now, just in case you get stopped.

Also, if after 3–4 working days nothing comes up, it might mean the system didn’t schedule it properly — and that’s where a lot of people get stuck. There are ways to sort it, but it depends on the exact issue.

If you want, I can help you look into it. Just let me know.

✅ Biometrics is usually required — but not everyone wants to go to Alagbon, especially if the car is not in their name.

Yes, non-factory tinted cars can apply.

As long as your car has any form of tint that reduces visibility into the vehicle — whether it's factory-fitted or aftermarket — you are legally required to obtain a Police Tinted Glass Permit in Nigeria.

The key point is visibility — if the tint affects how clearly someone can see inside the vehicle from outside, then it must be registered, and a permit must be obtained.

✅ It is legal to tint your car — but only if you get the proper police approval and permit.
❌ Driving with tinted glass without the permit can lead to harassment, fines, or even vehicle impoundment during checks.

The permit process is open to both types:

Factory-tinted (usually SUVs & some sedans)

Aftermarket-tinted (tinted films applied manually)


If you're not sure whether your tint qualifies or not, I can take a quick look or help you process it the right way.

Let me know if you’d like more details or full assistance.

🔥 Thread Update — More Insights From the Field (2025 Edition)

Hey guys, just circling back with fresh updates based on over 30+ DMs and convos I’ve had since this thread went up. 👇

✅ **Medical Report Validity**
If your report was done more than a year ago, especially before 2023, it *may* no longer be accepted — depending on who handles your biometrics. Best practice? Get a recent one with the right police clinic stamp. (Let me know if you’re unsure what it should look like.)

✅ **After Payment, What Next?**
Once your payment is confirmed, don’t expect the capture date SMS to drop immediately. Give it 2–3 working days. Still pending after that? There are **tested workarounds** I can explain — they’ve helped others avoid delays or rejections.

✅ **Car Not in Your Name? No Wahala.**
Some of you are using company cars, your dad’s, or even imported rides with paper still in someone else’s name. Yes, there’s a *clean* way to apply without drama — it's not public info, but I’ve helped folks handle it quietly.

📌 Summary:
- Tinted Permit is for **both factory & film tint** 🚘
- Permit is tied to **the vehicle**, not just you
- **Biometrics is compulsory**, except in rare backend cases
- You don’t *have* to go through stress if you know the route 💡

---

🙏 If you’ve tried and got stuck, or want to skip the stress, I’ve put together a step-by-step guide (PDF) that’s helped folks avoid wasting time or paying agents blindly.

Feel free to **quote me or send a DM** if you need direction or assistance — whether you’re doing it yourself or want it handled for you.

Appreciate everyone sharing their stories — will keep updating this post with anything new I discover on the field.

Good morning

Trying to log in to the portal where I uploaded my documents, it's still as if I gave not done anything, or were will I see the pending pls

But here’s the thing: even when it's still showing “Pending,” you can print out your application slip or save a screenshot — that’s what I advise anyone driving a tinted car to carry with them for now, just in case you get stopped.

The process is aimed at revenue generation for NPF, better go get it to avoid tipping them anything the issue comes up with them on road.
The new administration is after generating taxes,revenue from Nigerians at all cost.
The list of avenues that have been created by the states and FGN for revenue has become endless,living in Nigeria has become expensive.

‎PRESS RELEASE
‎TINTED GLASS PERMIT: NPF EXTENDS GRACE PERIOD AMID ONGOING SERVICE REVIEWS

‎The Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, has approved an extension of the grace period for the enforcement of Tinted Glass Permit requirement to the 12th of August, 2025.

‎This extension comes on the heels of several concerns and feedback expressed by members of the public regarding the reactivation of the digital Tinted Glass Permit application process. In line with our commitment to delivering transparent, inclusive, and citizen-focused policing, the Force wishes to affirm that it has not ignored the voices of Nigerians. Rather, these voices have been instrumental in guiding ongoing reviews of the process to ensure it remains user-friendly, secure, and accessible to all.

‎The extension of enforcement is also intended to give room for additional enhancements and refinements to the application process, ensuring that no member of the public is unduly disadvantaged.

‎The NPF is actively working to simplify and improve both the physical and contactless application options including enhanced verification mechanisms and streamlined procedures to reduce delays and eliminate undue inconveniences.

‎Members of the public are reminded that the authorized platform for the application and renewal of the Tinted Glass Permit is accessible via http://www.possap.gov.ng. Citizens are also encouraged to report all unauthorized or hidden charges as well as extortion in the course of application or biometric capturing to the appropriate Police authorities, including via the dedicated hotline: 09169967000.

‎The Nigeria Police Force remains committed to public safety, digital innovation, and continuous improvement in service delivery, and appreciates the cooperation and patience of the Nigerian people as these reforms are carried out.

UPDATE 🚨: You Asked, I Listened (Over 7,000 Views Already 😳)

I honestly didn’t expect this post to get this much attention, but wow... Over 7,000 people have viewed it in less than two days. That tells me one thing — many Nigerians are seriously looking for correct info on how to legally process the tinted glass permit without wahala.

Now, based on the questions I’ve received (over 50+ messages and counting), I want to clear a few things for everyone following:

✔️ Yes — the Police Tinted Permit is still active and free to apply for online.
✔️ Yes — you can apply yourself, but there are some technical steps that usually confuse people (especially the medical report part, document upload, and appointment issues).
✔️ No — you don't need a “connection” if you follow the proper process, but you do need to be careful not to make mistakes that delay approval or trigger rejection.

What to prepare before applying
• Your NIN
• Car particulars (valid and matching)
• A medical or security-related reason for needing tint — especially in Lagos
• A scan of your driver’s license
• Your medical report (not just anything written, a proper one o)

Once you gather these, you can start the process from the police portal. If done right, you’ll get your Application Code and move through the approval stages. Some people even get the full permit within 3 to 7 working days.

Again, I’m not here to “sell” anything — just to guide and share what I’ve already tried myself and helped others with.

If you’ve started but got stuck, feel free to drop your experience or question below. I’ll reply based on what I know or have seen work.

Let’s keep the thread clean, helpful, and avoid spammy posts so it doesn’t get removed again. 🙏🏽
Hello, I paid already, I did not upload the medical report yet. What do I need to do to move from pending to the next step
Re: How I Registered My Tinted Glass Permit In Nigeria (2025 Guide) by Easyinfoguide(op): 12:15am On Jun 18, 2025
Wow. Just coming back to this thread after a while.
I didn't expect it to do over 4,000 views when I first wrote it 😅

Since then, I’ve quietly helped over 70+ people navigate the tinted glass permit wahala.
Some succeeded easily... some hit brick walls I never imagined.

Honestly, this whole permit thing is deeper than most people think.

I’ve seen:

Legit applications stuck for months — just because of one unnoticed error

People who think they’re approved, but the system says otherwise

Biometrics centers turning people back without clear reason


No be say I sabi pass anybody o — but I’ve learned a lot just from watching real-life cases play out across different states.

Not here to sell anything. Just felt like I owed this thread a proper update.
If you ever get stuck or confused on the process, feel free to ask here or shoot a DM.

I’ll try to help when I can.
