Lagos State launches new website to verify vehicle number plates..
With the rate Lagos State is evolving.. you could be left in the dark ages if you waste an extra second blinking your eyes.
A new website has just been launched in Lagos State. It is called Motor Vehicle Registration Search. This website will help verify vehicle number plates..
You would think it only works for Lagos number plates ,but I was surprised when the details of my Abuja number popped up like magic.
Nice one from Akinwunmi Ambode and his team.
Check yours here… http://www.lsmvaapvs.org/ and tell us what you think…
Don’t forget to share with your family and friends.

I checked for 2 cars today and the website said “Registration Number is Invalid”.
What could ve wrong?

That shouldn’t mean your plate number is invalid. May be they are yet to upload the details of your vehicle.. esp. vehicles that were purchased recently. The issue will be resolved.

You should better go and cross check. I bought a car last week and registered it last week in Lagos. I just checked inarguable site and all my information was displayed.

Hi omolara, you don’t need to space the letters and figures while typing. That was the reason

December 23, 2016 at 12:36
I did too and it gives me same resuly. But I tried again this time without space in between and I got the result. So put yiur reg.no without space. You will be surprised.

When typing, you don’t need to give space just type the alphabet together e.g APP412DF

@Amos Bakare, if you spaced the plate number, try it again without spacing it. The system is perfect. Just checked mine.

Its network issue. Try again I just did.

please does it mean that this new number eg. those registered around december doesn’t reflect on the frsc platform ? because the police refused honouring this platform saying it’s not authentic. let’s educate other road users because it the new way the police are extorting money from people , I have encountered such.

Good one. With this development the law enforcement agencies only need to sieve out expired vehicle particulars n stop ONLY offenders n not cause traffic hold-up while checking on the highway. Or it’s not that simple??? Kudos all d same.
AutoJosh
December 21, 2016 at 18:33
intelligent reasoning and good observation.
Amos Bakare
December 23, 2016 at 19:25
This is a good development, but for the government to generates more revenue, every law enforcement that drives on Nigerian road should be check to know if their vehicles particulars is up to date, reason is am talking from experience. Thanks.

This is a good innovation. I just checked and I observed that my chassis number is wrong. The whole chassis number appeared with letter ‘I’ added to it. How can that be rectified please.

December 21, 2016 at 21:15
That can be fixed at any Lagos vehicle licensing office.

You may lodge a complaint at the licensing office you processed your vehicle papers
Richard
December 22, 2016 at 06:54
I tried it twice. The first one gave me invalid, while the second worked. You have to put your vehicle details without any space in between

I changed my registration plate no from the old to the new one in august. I cchecked now and it’s a different name and car make displayed.
The registration was done in a Lagos state licensing office.
What could be wrong please.
AutoJosh
December 22, 2016 at 08:58
You have some investigations to do. Start from the exact place or person that processed the registration.

Please the issue and expiry dates are for what? The license plates, driver’s license or which of the car documents?

The issue and expiry dates are for the license plate documents which should be renewed yearly.

Good job. Any additional benefit; say if your registered vehicle has been stolen at gun point in another state, can it be traced using the chasis number or any other means?
Stan
December 23, 2016 at 11:09
Well done guys for the initiative. Do we have any for Driving License, Custom papers etc.
I believe the Telcos can also help here through a USSD or SMS short code with some keyword. This will work on “chino” phones that cannot access the internet.
Kudos!!!

This is a good innovation. Having a central system where citizens can check status of their vehicles after registration. Nice one. However, I think some form of privacy control should be included so that people with ulterior motives don’t just check status of people’s car while in traffic so as to verify the owner or other things.
Not just anybody should know the owner name, chassis no. And vital information of cars in traffic, I think it could pose a security threat. Some form of personal code or pin, known only to the owner, at the point of registration should be combined to search for my vehicle status. #MyThoughts

From the prototype, there was a name display. Just imputed my details to confirm but there was no name display.How do I confirm that my car is duly registered against my name? This is a very good development really. Well done
AutoJosh

The name field has been removed due to complaints from people.

I tried it, to my surprise the information that displayed was completely different from is. I’ve had my car since 2007 but the information stated that the license was issued in 2011. Make of car, color, chasis number were all wrong.
But could it be that duplicate car numbers exist?
AutoJosh
January 12, 2017 at 11:14
You can verify at any licensing centre. Because Nigeria Police can use someone to chop.

January 12, 2017 at 12:15
My agent called me that my plate number is ready… I checked out the number sent to me and it shows a different thing entirely. I have tried two different plate numbers again….
And it’s giving me thesame brand of car, color and other information. Guess the website is not real or something is wrong
AutoJosh
January 12, 2017 at 12:18
The website is real. So something is probably wrong.

You may contact any licensing office. They probably made a mistake when inputing the details.

If you committed a traffic offense and the FRSC officers can come to your home to collect the fine owed. Firstly for safety measures, how do we identify them because criminals can disguise in fake uniforms and fake ID and come into your house and rob you if not worse. So is the government proposing a central checking Web site for Citizens to do their checks beforehand prior to letting people into their homes or even parting with their money.

Pls i want to confirm, what of if someone vehicle was Stole. Can someone trace it with the registered plate number on it. Or with chasiss or engine number.
AutoJosh
January 12, 2017 at 15:31
Except the police and other agencies can help fish out the car. Apart from that, you’ll need a car tracker to trace the car.

From Segun Babayemi:
DON’T FALL FOR THIS SCAM
IF AN UNKNOWN PERSON
SUDDENLY CALLS YOU
BY YOUR NAME AS YOU ARE DRIVING
This comes easily possible now especially if you are driving your own car and someone with a data plan on his mobile device quickly checks your plate number to get your car details. It would come with your name, car details and your person data is sold out; just as you have on your vehicle license.
Subterfugists or tricksters now use this to access people unaware. As a Special Marshall in the FRCN, I have been priviledged to know ahead of time, and Lagos State government recently opened a website for this aswell.
This unknown to one who tried a trick session on me along Ikorodu road, he waived me down and shouted my name “Mr. Segun Babs”. He was clever to make it more friendly with the way he called me so I may think he was familiar with me, I knew I didn’t register any of my vehicles with that name, but he was confused as I did not get exited. I just raised up my galaxy tab with a sign that I could also browse to know his name from his vehicle. I allowed him to raise ahead as he was insisting I should pull to the service lane to pack so we may talk. I declined by allowing him to race ahead of me.
I had just taught my family members how to get that right and good enough my son who presently works with me was in the car, he did it immediately And I raced forward to give my “new friend” his report card. I called out, …”Prince Ogunşesomething”. Then he yelled “won ti jaę si” saying it as Lagosians would say ‘so you’ve been posted’.
Please, friends, be posted, don’t be chickened by any who just called you by your names. Road safety operatives, police and other security corps also have their software to get auto mobile owners details. Don’t be surprised. If you jump a traffic regulation on the highway, they don’t have to run after you as in the time past, you may be visited thereafter at home to pay your bill.
Let us beware, be careful and be certain of ourselves, may God keep us save from all evil workers, Amen. Happy new year again.

My last vehicle license renewal was supposed to start from march 21st, 2016 to march 21st, 2017 (this year) but when I checked the MVAA portal it shows that i have just renewed it for this year of which I have not…. It shows issued: January 3rd, 2017 and expires January 3rd, 2018… The hard copy documents with me still shows expiry date of March 21st, 2017… What can I do?

Someone sent me the link and I tried it, I saw all my car details within few seconds. This is a great job and fantastic improvement in vehicle administration in Lagos State. There won’t be any need for the law enforcement officer to run after any offender that sometimes leads to unnecessary accidents or argument. With this, car owners cannot drive a car with expired particulars, car snatchers would have to think twice, rough drivers will be cautioned, Government will make more income and our roads will be better for driving. Kudo to Lagos State Government and the team that make this work. Lagos remains the Pacesetter for good things.

Good one. But I noticed that the first registration details is the only information that shows. Is it because the renewal was not done in Lagos after the expiration.?.

It looks good but security wise, no. Now bad guys can tress your contacts from just your car registration no. call you on phone etc. pls I think this site should be accessible to only security Officers

Thanks your this platform with respect to vehicle registration particulars. My vehicle particulars was checked on this platform and was found ok with narration ”duely registered with MVAA but on checking the FRSC platform, I encountered with another error message ” plate number is valid but not attached to any vehicle”. I was embarrassed by police and FRSC most especially in Ibadan.
Kindly uploaded the registered plate number on time or tell FRSC to confirm the authenticity of plate number using Lagos State Platform and stop embarrassing public.
