The Nigeria Police Force has reinforced its commitment to securing lives and property with the introduction of the electronic Central Motor Registry (e-CMR), a digital system designed to protect vehicle owners across the country.
Backed by Section 4 of the Police Act and Section 214 of the Constitution, the police are legally mandated to maintain law and order, a duty that extends to safeguarding assets, including motor vehicles. The e-CMR initiative modernizes this mandate by offering a digital solution to vehicle tracking, ownership verification, and theft prevention.
“This isn’t just another document; it’s a smart, legal shield for your car,” a police spokesperson said. “Through the e-CMR, we can trace stolen vehicles, verify rightful owners, and tackle car theft head-on with speed and accuracy.”
Vehicle owners are encouraged to register through the portal cmris.npf.gov.ng, a process described as simple, affordable, and critical for road safety. According to the police, joining the e-CMR system means becoming a partner in national security while gaining peace of mind on Nigeria’s roads.
With digital policing gaining ground, the e-CMR stands out as a practical and proactive approach to crime prevention, one registration at a time.
