Other accessible services in the new digitized office include request for motor vehicle information, request for change of vehicle ownership, request for change of vehicle license, and number plates, and request for change of vehicle chassis or body among others.

The CP listed the benefits of the digitization of vehicle information through the central motor registry for the general public to include, enhanced security, efficient law enforcement, crime deterrence, expedited investigation, and national security.

He asserted that with a digitized CMR in place, citizens can have greater confidence in the security of their vehicles, saying accurate and real-time vehicle information will assist in the prevention and swift resolution of vehicular crimes, ensuring that citizens’ assets are safeguarded.

Olaiya, enjoined vehicle owners in the state to embrace the opportunity of enrolling their vehicles, including motorcycles and tricycles in the digitized CMR and be part of the collective effort in enhancing the security and safety of our society.
