In conjunction with the Smart City initiative of the present administration, the Lagos State government announced the creation of a plate number verification website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lsmvaapvs.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">www.lsmvaapvs.org<\/a> through the State Motor Vehicle Administration Agency (MVAA).<\/p>\n<p>The General Manager of MVAA, Lagos, Mr. Lateef Lawal, stated that the creation of the portal became highly essential to put an end to the unnecessary harassment of licenses by the Nigerian Police officials, FRSC, and other security agencies.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed how the situation became embarrassing and worrisome to the State government as unending reports grew rampant that cars registered with Lagos State plate numbers were being held in custody by FRSC; hence, the creation of the site.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, Lagosian car owners are urged to always visit the site to confirm the authenticity of their plate numbers. The website is straightforward to navigate. Once you log in, type in the number plate you want to verify and wait for the confirmation details of the vehicle.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Other Reasons Why You Must Verify Your Plate Number<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_74604\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74604\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-74604 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/FRSC-number-plate-verification.jpg\" alt=\"FRSC-number-plate-verification\" width=\"720\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/FRSC-number-plate-verification.jpg 720w, https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/FRSC-number-plate-verification-260x145.jpg 260w, https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/FRSC-number-plate-verification-696x389.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-74604\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/howtotechnaija.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FRSC-number-plate-verification.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">image source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Besides making sure your plate number is valid and not fake, there are also a couple of other reasons why you must verify your plate number.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the case of armed robbery, if the robber&#8217;s plate number is sighted, people can immediately report it to the police for it to be traced.<\/li>\n<li>Then in the case of theft, the owner of the stolen vehicle must submit the plate number for verification before the police can carry on with the investigation and tracing of the car. Without a valid plate number, it is impossible to do that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most significant to note, driving without a plate number or with a fake one attracts a fine outlined in the FRSC <a href=\"https:\/\/frsc.gov.ng\/offences-penalties-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">offense sheet<\/a> under section 10(4), 28(2) of the establishment act 2007, and regulation 220 of NRTR, 2012<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, we have seen that one of the first and most important things to do immediately after you buy a car is to get a registered plate number. Also, note that there is no fixed duration of time it takes for you to get your plate number after registration.
