The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has announced the impending enforcement of the digitalized Central Motor Registry (e-CMR), which will begin in the next 14 days. This initiative aims to modernize and digitize the motor vehicle registration system, significantly enhancing safety and security.
In a statement, Force Public Relations Officer Olumuyiwa Adejobi explained that the e-CMR is a sophisticated, real-time online repository of motor vehicle data designed to aid police investigations and operations, especially in tackling vehicle-related crimes such as terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and armed robbery.
The transition to a digital system is expected to simplify the documentation and verification processes for vehicle ownership and related transactions. The statement highlighted that services such as change of ownership, license number, engine, and chassis/body will become more efficient.
Once implemented, the e-CMR system will ensure the validation of vehicle authenticity and ownership, improve the tracking and recovery of stolen vehicles, and help prevent the purchase of stolen vehicles by unsuspecting buyers.
“The enforcement of the e-CMR is necessary to ensure a safer and more secure environment for vehicle ownership and to decimate the trend of vehicle theft by greatly reducing the possibility of selling stolen vehicles in the country. We therefore urge all vehicle owners and users to embrace and key into this initiative promptly for optimum safety and security,” the statement added.
The public is encouraged to obtain the digitalized CMR certificate online at cmris.npf.gov.ng.
