The Nigeria Police Force has set October 2, 2025 as the date for the nationwide enforcement of tinted glass permits.
The announcement was made in Dutse on Saturday, September 20, by the Public Relations Officer of the Jigawa State Command, SP Shi’isu Adam.
He emphasized that motorists must obtain their permits through the official online platform to avoid sanctions.
According to Adam, registration is already ongoing on the government’s portal, possap.gov.ng.
Applicants are required to create an account using their NIN, BVN, or TIN, verify their email, then select the “Tinted Glass Permit” service.
Vehicle details and supporting documents must also be uploaded.
“Applicants must carefully confirm all details before submitting their requests and making payments as directed on the portal,” SP Adam said.
Once completed, applicants will be scheduled for vehicle inspection and fingerprint biometric capturing at designated Police Intelligence Departments.
In Jigawa State, Adam confirmed that the biometric process would be free of charge and handled at the State Intelligence Department, Police Headquarters, Dutse.
This, he noted, was to encourage compliance and prevent exploitation by illegal middlemen.
He further advised motorists against dealing with unauthorized agents, stressing that only the official online system guarantees validity.
The police stressed that this initiative is not only about regulation but also about enhancing security on Nigerian roads.
“This initiative promotes transparency and ensures road safety for all,” Adam stated.
He also called for public cooperation, urging applicants to begin registration early to avoid last-minute rushes before enforcement begins.
The police warned that failure to comply with the directive may lead to legal consequences.
Motorists driving with tinted glass without valid permits risk arrest, fines, or other penalties.
“Those planning to apply are advised to begin registration promptly ahead of the enforcement date,” SP Adam added.
Authorities believe this will make it easier to track offenders and protect innocent road users.
