₦airaland Forum

Good afternoon everyone,

I’ve noticed several mixed comments here again, so let me make things perfectly clear — transparently and factually.

✅ 1. The Tinted Permit process has indeed been suspended temporarily by the Police authorities pending internal reviews and a court matter. I personally confirmed this through my channels.

✅ 2. The guide I shared here was written long before that suspension notice — and it was created purely for educational and informational purposes, not for collecting money or processing on behalf of anyone.

✅ 3. I’ve repeatedly warned that scammers have cloned my username on this same forum. Anyone messaging you privately asking for money or claiming to “help you get it faster” is a fake.

My goal remains the same — to help Nigerian car owners understand how government systems actually work, so that people can handle things properly when official processes resume.

You can verify every step directly through the official Police digital portal — I’ve never hidden that link or claimed to be a backdoor.

Thanks to everyone who has remained objective and civil here.
Let’s keep it about facts, not fear.

HopeGying, I completely understand your frustration — but please note that I have never requested or collected payment from anyone on this platform.

Every message I’ve posted here has been transparent and verifiable.
The Tinted Glass Permit process is currently suspended nationwide (as the Police PRO has publicly stated).

My InfoGuide was created for educational purposes only, and I’ve repeatedly warned users to beware of impersonators using my name or logo.

If you’ve had any issue, please share proof of payment and proof of conversation so we can verify whether it was really me or one of the fake accounts circulating around Nairaland.

I’m all for transparency and accountability — that’s why I publish guides instead of offering hidden “processing.”

Hello everyone,

A quick factual update for drivers and vehicle owners who’ve been asking questions about the tinted-glass permit system.

1️⃣ Why the process is paused:
The Nigeria Police Force confirmed that the online application portal is undergoing internal review following a court directive. Until that’s completed, no new permits are being issued.

2️⃣ What vehicle owners can do meanwhile:

Keep all other documents current (licence, insurance, proof of ownership, etc.).

Carry a printed copy of the Police PRO’s public statement on the suspension.

Remain calm and polite at checkpoints—officers are aware of the situation.


3️⃣ How to verify updates:
Visit the official Police digital services portal or follow verified Police social-media pages for any restart notice.

4️⃣ Why this matters:
Knowing the real status helps you avoid misinformation and scammers claiming to “fast-track” permits.

This thread is for factual discussion and clarification only—no processing, no collection, no shortcuts.

Thanks to everyone who’s kept the conversation civil and informative.

Tonight, I’m not here to sell.
I’m here to restore calm and clarity.

I’ve seen the questions… the confusion… the frustration.
Some people applied and got stuck halfway.
Some don’t even know if the portal still works.
Some already gave up entirely.

So tonight, let’s drop the panic and talk facts only.

I’ll be replying everyone patiently one by one with the most recent updates, verified links, and realistic expectations.

If you’ve been confused about your tinted glass permit, this is the thread to stay glued to tonight.

No drama. No argument. Just clarity and truth.

Isreal Raphael (Easyinfoguide Publishing)

Let’s bring back sanity to this conversation.

@AutoPrince — If you already have a valid permit, move with a printout in your glove box.

But if you don’t, please avoid deep tints for now. Some commands are still enforcing the temporary suspension strictly.

Don’t panic; the goal is compliance, not harassment.

@LadyK22 — Yes, if you already have an approved permit tied to your plate number, you can still renew it when the portal reopens.

Keep both your email approval and printed copy safe. They remain valid until official updates say otherwise.

@SmartRider — The Police Tinted Permit application portal is still active, but all new approvals are temporarily suspended nationwide.

You can still create an account or log in, but the final authorization step won’t go through till Police HQ lifts the restriction.

Anyone claiming they can “get it done fast” right now is not being sincere. Patience saves stress.

[quote author=Dwarfgod post=137112511][/quote]@Dwarfgod — You actually made a valid point earlier about road experience. Many people don’t know there’s a difference between “portal active” and “permit approval active.”

That confusion is what scammers exploit.

I’m here tonight to clarify those gray areas and bring back sanity to this discussion once and for all.

@erico2k2 — 100% correct. Most officers on the road know the process is on pause, but as you said, some still act unaware.

Carrying the PRO’s official suspension notice is smart — helps avoid unnecessary back-and-forth.

And you’re right, not every car gets stopped; sometimes it’s selective enforcement. Thanks for your mature contribution.

@HopeGying — I understand your anger, but let’s be factual here.

I’ve never requested payment from anyone on this platform.

Since scammers cloned my name earlier in the year, I’ve been warning everyone to double-check any number that doesn’t match mine.

For clarity:
✅ I don’t process permits.
✅ I only publish verified guides and educational content.
✅ My new and only official contact is 07016164297 (text only).

If you truly sent money to someone, please share a screenshot (privately if you prefer). We’ll verify together.

Transparency is the only way forward. Let’s clear this publicly once and for all.

🚨 OFFICIAL UPDATE (October 2025) – Current Situation of the Police Tinted Glass Permit in Nigeria

Over the past few months, the situation around the Nigeria Police Tinted Glass Permit has changed drastically — and many car owners are confused about whether the permit is still active, suspended, or scrapped.

Here’s the accurate and current position as of late October 2025, verified by EASYINFOGUID PUBLISHING 👇

🔹 1. The Permit System Is Still Valid — But Enforcement Is Temporarily Suspended

The Police officially suspended enforcement of the tinted glass permit policy after a Federal High Court in Warri ordered all parties to maintain status quo.
That means Police can’t currently arrest or seize vehicles solely for tinted permit violations — at least until the court case is resolved.

However, the suspension does not mean cancellation. The permit system is still active on POSSAP.gov.ng, and applications are still being processed.

🔹 2. The Police Reactivated the Portal Earlier This Year

The NPF reactivated the POSSAP Tinted Glass Permit portal around April 2025 with NIN and TIN verification integrated.
They even announced nationwide enforcement to begin on October 2, 2025 — before the court case paused it.
So, enforcement will likely resume once the case concludes.

🔹 3. Some Commands Are Still Conducting Stop-and-Check Operations

Even with the suspension, reports show that some State Commands (especially Lagos, FCT, and Delta) continue to randomly stop tinted vehicles for verification purposes.
In such cases, having a valid permit or proof of application can still save you unnecessary stress.


🔹 4. What You Should Do as a Vehicle Owner

✅ Stay informed — don’t assume the policy is gone for good.

✅ If your car has aftermarket tints, consider processing your permit early while it’s still free on POSSAP.

⚠️ Avoid arguing with officers on the road. Politely show your documents or say you’re awaiting approval.

📅 Watch this thread — EASYINFOGUID will post verified updates the moment new enforcement or policy changes are announced.


🧠 Final Note

Nigeria’s system changes without warning. Today it’s “suspended,” tomorrow it’s “resumed full force.”
Smart car owners prepare in advance — not when checkpoints start trending on social media again.

🔥 OFFICIAL UPDATE:
The Truth About the Tinted Permit Suspension And What Nobody Is Telling You

For everyone following this thread, here’s the verified reality of the situation not rumours, not noise, not guesswork:

1️⃣ The Nigeria Police Tinted Permit Portal Is Currently Suspended Nationwide

No new approvals.
No new processing.
No new certificates.

Anyone telling you “apply now” is either misinformed or intentionally misleading you.

Even officers on the field are aware of the freeze.

This isn’t the first time it happened it’s part of their periodic restructuring.

2️⃣ What This Means for Car Owners Right Now

Until the police reopen the portal:

Nobody can get a new permit legally

Only old permits remain valid

Stopping people randomly for “tint permit show me your paper” is now more complicated, because the system itself is on hold

There will likely be new guidelines when they reopen


So instead of panic, what car owners need now is accurate information and safe compliance practices, not fear.

3️⃣ Why I Created This Thread — And Why I’m Updating It

This thread was never about hype or sales.
It was never about shortcuts.
It was never about deceiving anyone.

It was created for Nigerians who don’t want trouble with the police, who prefer following the legal path rather than bribing their way through checkpoints.

And as long as the system keeps changing, people deserve updates not confusion.


4️⃣ Addressing the Noise and Accusations Once and for All

A few people have shouted “scam” without providing:

No screenshot

No transaction history

No bank alert

No chat

No proof of contact

Nothing.


In 2025, we don’t respond to baseless accusations.
If you don’t have evidence, you don’t have a case.

This thread will remain focused on FACTS, not distractions.

5️⃣ What Happens Next

I’ll be posting:

Real-time updates the moment the portal reopens

New requirements (if any)

The future structure of tinted permit enforcement

How to avoid problems at checkpoints during this suspension

The coming shift to digital verification

And everything Nigerian car owners need to know going forward


This thread has already helped thousands stay out of trouble.
And it will continue doing exactly that.

Let every other thing fade
the value remains.

6️⃣ FINAL WORD

This thread is not dying.
Not today.
Not tomorrow.
Not after any troll’s comment.

As long as there are Nigerian car owners who want clarity and truth, this place will always be useful.

We move.

NEW FINDINGS
Why the Tinted Permit System Was Quietly Frozen And What the Police Are Planning Next

Over the last few days, I’ve been digging into the REAL reason behind the sudden freeze of the Nigeria Police Tinted Permit system.

Not rumours.
Not WhatsApp voice notes.
Not checkpoint gossip.
Actual movement happening behind the scenes.

Here’s what I’ve uncovered:


1️⃣ The Suspension Wasn’t Random It Was Triggered by a Fraud Spike

Multiple officers (especially in Lagos & Abuja) have been complaining about:

forged tinted permits

unverifiable approval letters

“agent-created” permits that never existed in the police database

unchecked duplication of old permits


The police ICT unit reportedly flagged over 300+ suspicious permit entries within 90 days.

That was the red flag that triggered the shutdown.

2️⃣ Internal Audit Teams Have Been Dispatched

There is currently:

a database audit

a backend cleanup

and a verification of all issued permits from 2022–2024


They’re trying to separate GENUINE permits from FAKE ones.

This is why the system had to freeze they needed a clean slate.


3️⃣ The Police Are Planning a New Digital Verification Rollout

From everything I gathered, the coming update will likely include:

QR-code based permits

instant scanner verification at checkpoints

automatic rejection of unverified entries

no more manual letters or “help from inside”

stricter requirements before issuing new permits


This is geared toward making the system tamper-proof.

4️⃣ Checkpoint Officers Have Already Been Briefed Informally

This explains why some officers now:

stop cars with factory-tinted glass

ask “who gave you permit?”

enforce based on mood

ignore old permits because they’re unsure what’s real


They are operating in a grey area until the new directive comes out.

That’s why motorists are confused the officers themselves don’t have a clear order yet.


5️⃣ What This Means for Normal Car Owners

Until the new system goes live:

Don’t apply anywhere

Ignore anyone promising “fast-track” service

Carry proper vehicle documents to avoid unnecessary stress

Know your rights at checkpoints

Expect a new system rollout likely with new rules


This is why I keep updating this thread: the worst thing you can have in Nigeria is wrong information.

6️⃣ And Finally… The Accusers

Some people have been shouting “scam” without a single shred of proof.

Not one screenshot.
Not one chat.
Not one bank alert.

Meanwhile, the police themselves froze the system something entirely out of anyone’s control.

This is why I always say:

Before you shout scam, at least know what the system is doing.

We move with facts here.
