As a car owner in Nigeria, there are certain documents that are

important to have in order not to be used as a scapegoat especially

when pulled over by the Nigerian Police, LASMA officials or even FRSC

officials. Therefore, before you get that new ride you have been

looking forward to buying on yeebia.com, make sure you are up to

date on these important car owner documents.

A Valid Driver’s License

A driver’s license, in some places known as a driving permit, is an

official document which permits an individual to operate one or more

types of the automobile on a public road. In Nigeria, different

motorized vehicles are issued different driver’s license according to

class A to class F. To use a regular car for example in Nigerian roads,

the driver will be issued a different class of driver’s license compared

to the one issued to someone who will be driving a truck.

Proof of Ownership

As the name implies, the proof of ownership is an official document

that states that a particular car belongs to you. This is especially used

in a situation where the new owner of a particular car buys the car

from a previous owner. When buying a second-hand car from any

vendor on Yeebia.com, be sure to have this document in your

possession. This document shows that you did not steal the car you

are using.

Certificate of Roadworthiness

This document shows that your vehicle is safe enough to be used on

public roads. A certificate of roadworthiness is required in situations

such as when a vehicle is being sold, re-registered, etc. This certificate

once issued, is usually valid for about 6 months to a year and then it

will need to be renewed.

A certificate of roadworthiness is mandatory in Nigeria for all

commercial vehicles with a valid period of 6 months. For private

vehicles that are older than 5 years, the road-worthiness certificate is

to be obtained once a year. The only exception here is if a particular

vehicle is not designed for carrying passengers or goods on the

highway or if it is a specially constructed vehicle.

Vehicle License

A vehicle license is an important document issued by a motor

registration authority in respect of a particular vehicle. This may be a

paper document to be kept in the vehicle at all times or in the form of

n adhesive sticker to be affixed or displayed on the windshield of the

vehicle.
Number Plate

A number plate also known as a vehicle registration plate or license

plate, is a metal or plastic plate attached to a vehicle for official

identification purposes. Nigeria particularly requires registration

plates for all types of road vehicles.
