The Federal Government has started the issuance of Proof of
Ownership Certificate (POC) for all categories of registered vehicles
nationwide.
Unveiling the new policy at the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre,
Alausa, Lagos, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Transportation Engr

of vehicle when you purchase a used vehicle or
changed the engine of your vehicle.

necessary requirements and procedures, will serve as part of official
documentation of a vehicle’s legal owners.”

classes of vehicles from motorcycle, to tricycle, to mini vehicles, saloon
cars, all classes of trucks, articulated vehicles and such likes that coveys
people or products from one point to the other.

vehicle’s registration details, such as, licence number plate, model, year of
manufacture in addition to owner’s name and address.

to begin the implementation of the new policy, and each vehicle owner is
expected to pay a minimum of N1,000 to procure the document.
