Hello guys pls I am facing some challenges as par my vehicle dicuments.

I renewed the documents earlier this month but a check on niid.org for my insurance policy,showed that my car plate number is already on the platform but with a different car make and chasis number.

I called my insurance company to verify the genuiness of the policy that I have and it was confirmed to be OK,also checks on verify.autoreg.ng and nvis.frsc.gov.ng showed my vehicle details.

I have contacted niid,my insurance company and even FRSC but the response I am getting is not encouraging so I decided to bring it here kindly suggest the next line of action or if you have experienced duplicate plate number how did you sort it out.

Go and report without delay

Wtf, this country is bleeped up. This is the fault of niid. Maybe a glitch.
Make a report to the police, FRSC, and go find a way to rectify it

wow Nigerians are annoying with these mago mago behaviour.
OP, I think u should raise better alarm o.
If even NCDC change message from protect ur self to disregard any news that we are sharing covid-19 funds then its also right for u to report to the necessary offices, make them no go kidnap person with ur plate number o, Police no go like hear say u are innocent.

The problem is not that your plate number is duplicated. The problem is that you are checking and digging. All these government agencies are so inefficient that they expect you to swallow their inefficiencies without finding out

You are correct,I be been using the car since 2018,but because I checked that's why I noticed the issue.

The guy that does my papers told me that they did fake licence,roadworthiness and plate number for the other person but did a genuine insurance so he gets an SMS so it will appear they did genuine documentation.

God shower your boyz money make we buy motor...


So when Niggas post this kind stuff... We go get experience and something to say

I bet my left ball that you didn’t go through the right ‘source‘ in applying for and getting that your plate number.

If you had given an individual money to actually get the plate for you on your behalf (without going via the official government office/website) someone could get a fake plate and give you with all the accompanying documents. That number has been produced but the plate it was printed on is fake.

That person whose information is showing on the website is the person who went through the right ‘source’ in getting his/her own plate. the funny thing is since the fake plates were already bearing a correct number on the national database that ‘real’ plate owner might have purchased the plates years after you got your fakes. That’s when I knew that they can ‘forecast’ future Nigerian plate numbers lol. There’s a system and it’s not bulletproof.

It happened to me. The day I checked online and saw another owner & vehicle details was 5 years after I started using the plates. I had to get new ones.

This is Nigeria

What response did you get from FRSC in particular?

If you bet your left ball I can guarantee you that you will lose it bro.
I am very sure you did not read what I posted or you have issues with comprehension.

How did you conclude I did not go thru the 'right source'.
Try and read thru my post again...slowly,u will see I mentioned three websites...niid(nat insurance industry database),this is for checking insurance policies,verify.autoreg.org and nvis.frsc.gov.ng.the last two are for plate number and other documents' verification(Lagos state and national),and on those two,my vehicle details are showing with the plate number,the discrepancy is only on that of the insurance.

Sent them a mail but yet to get any response since about 1week plus.
Equally got the contact of a personnel at their HD qtrs,called him and equally forwarded the document to him as he requested via whatsapp but since then he has not been picking my calls nor responded to my chtats.

Though I am not surprised. Nothing shock me anymore in this country.
But I quickly check mine on those sites to be very sure.

I believe you should find time to go to an FRSC office to make a report personally, any one closest to you is fine.
Government agencies in Nigeria can be quite lackadaisical when it comes to dealing with complaints through their mails or WhatsApp channels.

Go through this list to find the address of the number plates centre in your location.

https://frsc.gov.ng/list-of-approved-centers-for-number-plates/

If you have personally seen them and the way they treat the matter is still unsatisfactory, then I suggest you go the Twitter route as a last option.
Tag their official handles on Twitter and make your complaint public, people will help you make it trend and they will be forced to respond.

I had the exact experience with my last car.
I got an Abuja plate number back then but didn't get it registered. (I assumed it was automatic)

Then one day my father was getting original tint permit for his M Class and among other things, his car particulars and insurance, car plate registration, etc were checked and the police HQ discovered that his number was valid but not assigned. He was able to get it registered at the FRSC office. He called and told me to check mine on FRSC's website.
Prior to that, I had never known this could be done.
Na so I confidently checked online only to discover my car was assigned to a Toyota Highlander. ( My car then was a Honda Civic)

Omo, i go FRSC office the next day. Same thing showed up on their computer. The FRSC officer even called the owner of the Highlander and put it on loudspeaker so I cud hear. It so happened that he got his number just a few months earlier (more than a year after i had gotten mine) but he was smart enough to register his immediately so automatically, my number became the fake one.

I couldn't suffer myself nor risk being flagged down with my plate number so i just respected myself and got a new and different plate number altogether.
