FACTS ABOUT VEHICLE LICENCE

A vehicle licence is issued by a motor registration authority in a jurisdiction in respect of a particular motor vehicle.

A current licence is required for a motor vehicle to be legally permitted to be used or kept on a public road in the jurisdiction.

Usually a licence is valid for one year and an annual licence fee is payable before a new one is issued.

A vehicle licence may be a paper document to be kept in the vehicle at all times or in the form of an adhesive sticker to be affixed or displayed on the windshield of the vehicle.

A valid vehicle licence in addition to those of roadworthiness certification and auto-insurance is required to permit a motorist use a public road in a jurisdiction.

However unlike the roadworthiness certification and auto-insurance, the vehicle licence is renewable annually and debts will be accumulated for non-renewal.

A Case Study on Vehicle Licence Renewal


When you want to buy a naija used vehicle, always have a keen eye on the vehicle licence! Why?

To avoid paying for accumulated debt on a car that was not used by you at that period in time.

For example, today is December 10, 2019.

I just bought a naija used car whose particulars was last renewed in 2011.

I want to renew the particulars immediately.

On calling Car Papers, I discovered that I have inherited a debt of licence fees for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019

EIGHT ( YEARS!!!

That means I have to pay eight times the current amount on the licence fee.


Vehicle Licence is a permit from the government to own a car. Look at it as a Mining Lease, where you have to pay upfront before you are allowed to carry out mining activities in a given area.

You can even look at Vehicle Licence in this light for a deeper understanding of how it works: I rented an apartment from my landlord and traveled out of the country for an official assignment immediately I paid a year's rent. On returning to the country, I was planning to rest in my rented apartment for the FIRST night, then the old man showed up not only to welcome me back but to demand for another rent because the one I paid had expired. Would it be sane for me to say I never stayed in the apartment for a night, hence I wouldn't pay?


Vehicle licence is the right the government confers on you to own the vehicle. It is a compulsory tax that must be paid yearly.

Search for the vehicle licence of the naija used car you want to buy. Factor in the accumulated debt if any to your final purchasing price. If you have not been renewing your vehicle particulars for long, remember that the day you decide to renew them, you will pay the accumulated debts on the vehicle licence.

Thanks for your attention.
