As part of the efforts of the Inspector- General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, to boost security of lives and property in the countru, the Nigeria Police is set to commence the enforcement of the digitalized Central Motor Registry (e-CMR) within the next 14 days.

“The enforcement which will commence on the 29th of July, 2024, is to rejuvenate and digitalize the motor vehicle registration system, significantly bolstering our nation’s safety and security framework”, Egbetokun said.

Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, said in a statement, on Saturday that, “The e-CMR is an advanced, real-time online repository of motor vehicle data, designed to support police investigations, operational activities, and combat vehicle-related crimes, including terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and armed robbery.

“The transition to a digitalized system will streamline the documentation and verification processes for vehicle ownership and related transactions.

“Following the directives of the IGP, services such as change of ownership, change of license number, change of engine, and change of chassis/body would become seamless as the e-CMR system would ensure the validation of vehicle genuineness and ownership.

“It will also enhance the ability to track and recover stolen vehicles effectively, and preventing the purchase of stolen vehicles by innocent buyers.

“Prior to the enforcement itself, the IGP has ordered full publicity of the e-CMR and its enforcement to all members of the public intimating them of the requirements, processes, and the enforcement procedures.

"Members of the public are urged to obtain the digitalized CMR certificate online at https://cmris.npf.gov.ng”.
