One of the duties of the Nigeria Police Force is to protect the lives and property of all persons in Nigeria. In carrying out this responsibility with regards to motor vehicle security, the Police established a Central Motor Registry (CMR) as a repository of information of vehicles operating on Nigerian roads. Every motor vehicle (cars, buses, trucks, motorcycles, etc) owner is required to register the motor vehicle in the Registry and issued a Motor Vehicle Information Certificate.
This portal is designed to enable motor vehicle owners comply with regulatory requirements by providing information online about their vehicles, its ownership and other necessary details that will support the Police in maintaining information on vehicles. This will be very useful in the investigation of motor vehicle theft and recovery processes.
