The Nigeria Police Force has shed more light on the benefits of the Electronic Central Motor Registry (E-CMR), an innovation designed to transform vehicle information verification and management on the roads.
The E-CMR serves as a critical security measure to combat car theft nationwide.
According to Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, the E-CMR is part of the “e-policing” initiative aimed at enhancing road safety and policing efficiency under Inspector-General Olukayode Egbetokun’s leadership. Adejobi highlighted the system’s digital registration feature, enabling vehicle owners to register online and facilitating swift emergency responses.
Key Benefits of E-CMR
– Digital Registration: Vehicle owners can register their vehicles online.
– Quick Response: Instant flagging of stolen vehicles through online profiles, alerting field officers nationwide.
– Paperless Verification: Real-time document verification, eliminating the need for physical paperwork.
ACP Adejobi emphasized that the E-CMR removes paperwork, allowing officers to verify documents digitally. With the E-CMR, vehicle owners can access their information securely and easily.
Following the E-CMR’s launch in June, IGP Egbetokun ordered the enforcement of the digitalized Central Motor Registry to modernize and digitize motor vehicle registration ¹ ² ³. This move aims to improve the nation’s safety and security framework.
E-CMR Advantages
– Streamlined Documentation: Faster vehicle ownership transactions.
– Simplified Services: Easy ownership transfers, license renewals, and engine or chassis updates.
– Preventing Stolen Vehicle Sales: Improved recovery efforts.
By implementing the E-CMR, the police expect to bring greater convenience, speed, and security to vehicle ownership transactions
