Under the leadership of Inspector-General Olukayode Egbetokun, the E-CMR system allows vehicle owners to digitally register their vehicles and provides enhanced security features. One of the key benefits of the system is the ability to quickly flag a stolen vehicle through an online profile, immediately alerting officers nationwide and boosting the chances of recovery.
Adejobi emphasized that the E-CMR system eliminates the need for physical documentation on the road. “No more stopping to check papers—our officers now use cutting-edge technology to verify documents in real-time,” one of the posts read. Vehicle owners can access all relevant information digitally, making the process faster, easier, and more secure.
The NPF sees this move as part of a broader effort to modernize the motor vehicle registration system, improve national safety, and reduce vehicle-related crime. By digitalizing the system, the police aim to simplify ownership transfers, license renewals, and updates to vehicle details such as engine and chassis numbers.
The E-CMR system is also expected to prevent the sale of stolen vehicles and make recovery efforts more effective, bringing added convenience to vehicle-related services for the public.
