The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has announced that it will enforce the digitalized Central Motor Registry (e-CMR) starting July 29. This initiative aims to enhance vehicle registration and combat vehicle-related crimes.
Vehicle owners must register their vehicles in the e-CMR system by July 29. The registration costs N5,375 per vehicle. The e-CMR is an advanced, real-time online repository of motor vehicle data designed to support police investigations and combat crimes such as terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and armed robbery.
The e-CMR will streamline documentation and verification processes for vehicle ownership and related transactions. Services like change of ownership, change of license number, change of engine, and change of chassis/body will become more seamless. This system will also enhance the ability to track and recover stolen vehicles and prevent the purchase of stolen vehicles by innocent buyers.
To register, vehicle owners need an internet-enabled device, such as a computer or smartphone. The registration process requires creating a profile on the portal (https://cmris.npf.gov.ng) with a National Identification Number (NIN), email address, phone number, and house address. Additionally, vehicle details such as license number, chassis number, and engine number are required. Payments can be made on the platform using an ATM card.
The NPF seeks public cooperation in this initiative, which is expected to significantly improve public safety and national security by reducing vehicle theft and the sale of stolen vehicles.
