[quote author=Ayo3322 post=135782393]I went through that same stage recently.😒

Once payment is done and it's still showing Pending, what usually delays things is the medical report upload. Just make sure the document is clear and under 200kb when uploading.

After that, refresh your dashboard after a while. If all goes well, it should move to Awaiting Biometrics or next stage.🤔

I know that portal fit do strong head sometimes sha, so just be patient and keep checking back. You go soon see movement.
😌

JAYUK:
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.

You’re right, bro. It’s like every move we make now, there’s one government checkpoint or revenue angle waiting.

Me I just quietly sorted mine this year — didn’t wait until police drama showed up. I realized it’s better to prepare than explain.

The process dey somehow at first, but once you understand am well, it’s not as scary. Nigeria na cruise and survival mixed together. 😅

why am i always getting HTTP Error 404 ?

I currently want to sort out the medical tinted permit.
Does anyone know any approved hospital or clinic in the Abule Egba/ Ijaiye region where I can have this done?

Any suggestions will be much appreciated 🙏🏾

🔄 QUICK UPDATE: Solving “Pending” Status & Upload Wahala (Alphabetical Breakdown)

Lots of people have been asking since the first post:

> “Why is my tinted permit application still pending after submission?”
“How do I upload documents from my phone without wahala?”



Let’s quickly break it down — A to C style:


---

🅰️ A — Application Still “Pending”?

Here’s why that happens sometimes:

You uploaded unclear or wrong file formats

There were missing form fields

System glitch or delay


✅ Fix:
– Re-upload using clearer, well-labelled files
– Try on Chrome (Desktop Mode)
– Watch out for red error flags before submitting


---

🅱️ B — Best Way to Upload on Phone

Avoid snapping documents randomly inside your gallery.

Use proper scanning apps like:

ClearScan (Android)

Microsoft Lens (Android & iPhone)


📸 Tips: – Snap documents under bright light
– Place them on a white table/surface
– Save as JPG or PDF for smoother upload


---

🆑 C — Contacts That Can Actually Help

If you’re stuck and nothing’s moving, try:

policeict@npf.gov.ng – main IT support

support@policetintedpermit.com – for follow-up (not always active)

Visit a State Police HQ (ICT Unit) for biometric date complaints


Remember to be polite and keep your reference code handy.

How to Solve 'Pending Verification' and Fast-Track Your Permit Approval (June 2025 Trick)

A lot of people messaged me privately asking why their tinted permit dashboard is stuck at "Pending Verification" — weeks or even months after applying.

Let me explain what’s happening — and how to fix it:


---

⚠️ WHY YOUR STATUS IS STUCK

1. Wrong Documents – Some people uploaded random eye test results or blurry medical notes that police servers can’t validate.


2. Bad LGA State Selection – This is what most people don’t know:
Your permit request is tied to the STATE you select during registration.
Some states are delayed or inactive, and that’s why your approval is stuck.




---

✅ SOLUTION: REREGISTER WITH AN ACTIVE STATE

One proven trick (even police insiders won’t tell you) is to re-register your application using a faster state — like ALTANTE STATE.

🚀 Altante State is currently one of the busiest but fastest processing zones on the permit server.
Several people who were stuck on "Pending" got approved within 24–72 hours after switching.

No biometrics. No stress. Just smart rerouting.


---

🔁 HOW TO DO IT

Create a new tinted permit account

This time, select Altante State or any other active command

Use clean medical report and proper documents

Submit and wait for approval


If done right, your status should move within days — not weeks.


---

I just thought to drop this for those who are frustrated. I’ve helped a few people fix this already — and it’s working.

Don’t keep waiting for a system that already forgot your name. Move smart.

🚘 If you need help with the process, especially if you’re too busy or tired of the back-and-forth, I can assist — quietly.

stampo:
Please I want to find out if this is the only car documents that need to be done on the police website ??

Hi boss, thanks for asking!
No, the tinted glass permit isn’t the only thing the Nigeria Police website handles.

Here are a few other official services you can process on the Police portal:

✅ Police Character Certificate (PCC) – for travel or job purposes
✅ Stolen Vehicle Report/Status Check – to confirm if a car is flagged
✅ Escort & Guard Request Forms – for events or VIP movement
✅ Other Vehicle-Related Clearances – depending on state and updates

But for car owners like us, the Tinted Permit is the hottest one right now, especially since enforcement has resumed.

If you need a full breakdown of how to apply and get it done (even without visiting the station), I’ve created a 2025 Step-by-Step Guide. Just reply or DM me.

Hope this helps, boss!

thanks to everyone who read, liked, and messaged me.

Funny thing? I almost didn't post it. But the truth is, I’ve been deep in this tint permit palava for months now — from figuring out the NPF portal wahala, to helping a few close clients beat the “pending” trap, down to actually completing permits without physical appearance.

What I shared in the first post is just a slice.

I’ve compiled the full A–Z, plus:

🔐 The cheat codes that make your application harder to reject

✅ Examples of properly written “supporting documents” for factory tints

📸 How to scan documents that pass their backend AI filter

💼 The actual states that approve faster than Lagos

🔄 What to do when yours is stuck in 2023 or rejected

📎 Sample screenshots + real templates


All in a compact guide that you can read and use straight from your phone.

If you’re tired of guesswork or just want peace of mind before the next police checkpoint, I got you.

Pls how can I message you or your w a s a p. I have made payment for two weeks and is still showing pending. Have been waiting since then for capturing. Again I want to ask do U need medical report for factory fitted or the medical report is meant for lylon tinnted

I got a text today. I've been asked to go to Alagbon for the biometrics. Please can I go to the ikeja own instead of Alagbon that is far from me? Also, must I go with my car?

Alagbon no near at all.

From what I know, once they assign a location (like Alagbon), na there dem expect you go do the biometrics. It’s usually tied to your registration — so showing up in a different place (like Ikeja) might not work unless you get clearance from their end. You fit try call the contact number wey dem send with the SMS and ask if it can be changed.

As for the car — you no must carry am go. Dem no dey inspect car for that stage. Na mostly fingerprint and maybe picture/ID. But if your tint strong like black shade, some people dey carry car just in case. No be by force though.

Hope this helps 🙏

Pls where is the ikeja bio metric located

Hello boss,

Sorry to hear you’ve been waiting that long. Just to clarify — I’m not part of the Police or the official portal. What I offer is a detailed InfoGuide (PDF) that shows you step-by-step how to do your tinted permit registration the right way, fix “pending” issues, and speed up capturing without stress.

To answer your question:

> Do you need a medical report for factory-fitted or just for nylon tinted?



✅ Yes, a medical report is required either way. Whether it’s nylon tinted or factory-fitted, the police system treats both the same — you still need a health-based reason (e.g. eye issues, migraines, etc.) to get approved.

If you need help sorting out your application or want access to the full guide (plus real tips that work), feel free to message me contact below or check signature
Wishing you a quick resolution either way.

femi20:
Pls where is the ikeja bio metric located

the Ikeja biometrics dey for that main police command complex near Gospel Water side, by Amodu Ojikutu Road in Ikeja. If you ever dey Opebi or Allen, just follow the road down toward the police station — na there they dey do capturing for Ikeja folks.

Some people even dey park for Ikeja Shopping Mall direction and waka inside the compound. Just make sure you go by midday to avoid long queue.

🛠 UPDATE – If your application is stuck on "Pending" for too long…

Here’s what I’ve found after helping multiple people with this:

💡 Trick 1 – Reregistration (with same details):
If your dashboard doesn’t move for weeks, try reapplying from scratch using the same email/phone. It often resets things and lets the system process you faster. Just avoid typos.

⚡ Trick 2 – Use an alternate processing state:
Some states are faster with approval than others. Lagos, Abuja, and Rivers are often overloaded. If you choose a quieter state (like Ekiti or Gombe), you might bypass the queue entirely. Still legal — and still issued under NPF.

📬 Bonus tip – Track your status:
Check your email for any capture appointment message. If you missed the first one, you can still go directly with your reference code. No need to start from scratch.

Let me know if you want me to post a simple "how to reset pending dashboard" checklist. Happy to help — no sales talk needed.

✌️ Stay safe on the road.

Over two weeks that have paid. Have not been message for capturing. Pls what do I do or I should keep checking my email

Easyinfoguide:
That’s an unfortunate but very common experience — and you’re not alone.

Here’s what typically happens in Nigeria:

Many people try to apply for the tinted glass permit legally online, but the Police Portal often has issues: failed uploads, pending status that never updates, constant “error” messages.

Out of frustration, they walk into a police office, only to meet someone (sometimes at SCID or AIG’s office) who quotes them ridiculous amounts like ₦40k, ₦50k, or more — often for a process that should be free (except for legit documentation like a medical report).



---

Why this keeps happening:

1. The portal isn't fully reliable, and not all officers are trained to assist applicants through it.


2. There’s poor awareness about the actual procedure and legal steps.


3. Some officers exploit that confusion to make people feel they must pay heavily or use a "connection."

Here's a Better Approach:

If you’re still interested in getting it done without being extorted, I’ve put together a PDF info-guide that shows:

✅ What documents to prepare

✅ How to use the Police CMR portal without getting stuck

✅ What to do when it’s pending

✅ How to apply for free or at minimal cost

✅ How to spot and avoid overcharging officers or fake agents


It’s already helping a lot of people — I can send you the details if you’re interested.

I just confirmed that the tinted permit is to be renewed every year..How true is this?

UPDATE: 22 Things I’ve Learned So Far (2025 Edition)

Since I first made this post, a lot has changed.
I’ve worked with more people, faced new issues, and even started getting permit requests from those outside my usual zone.

I decided to document everything — properly.
Not just the steps, but the deep stuff no one really talks about.

Getting the tint permit guide is not so stressful if well equipped with the right and simple information not all dose big grammar information noo, simple and straightforward information for easy understanding and remembrance you should know what I mean

So government provided us with website to register for tint permit but did not tell us it functions best and fastest by 11pm to 5am Nawa oh

Did you also know you can do all the online process from start to finish using only your phone. I mean android at least not ur touch light o, lol
But don't use Opera Mini browser and please don't tell them I told you,
I can't explane.... Chrome is better or kiwi both did not pay for advert

another thing if you can get two phones it will be easier because of copy and paste wahala,
so U just look from the other phone then type on your main phone that way no need to be opening and closing different applications and then get frustrated I have experienced this first hand Hmm.

Why kill yourself on Lagos as primary location when other states are looking for people to attend too?
Now u see why so many are still pending abi...
I have tried several states for clients and discovered if u 3 States that will process without 4 working days and that changed major part of my tint permit business u can imagine such little information that makes so much return's lol
Well if U go and choose Akwa Ibom because you decide so shi shi u no go drop no wahala prepared 30k for transportation when you needed for capturing don't stress them abeg

For those who appreciate hardwork and consistency and will to pay for good information when they see one that will help then u no get problem because...........
